| We are putting together our RD list and my DC finds this school interesting. We like that they ask for tests. I feel like everyone shows their full picture which seems fair. We do not know anyone from this school so would love to hear more. |

| They’re super keen on football… |

We loved the tour -a big school with sports and all of the regular college stuff but also everyone seems down to earth and nice.
My DS ended up somewhere else, but one of his good friends goes there and loves it |

| The kids I know who attend, from Potomac and Bethesda, love it. They are both really into horses and that was part of the attraction. |

| It’s not that hard to get into, that’s part of the appeal. But I know several kids who are happy there. |

It’s not a rural campus though. |

The University of Tennessee is the flagship institution of the state of Tennessee. It is located in Knoxville but has branch campuses in other cities. |

| Only went for a football game. Other than the main building, the campus buildings and setup is surprisingly ugly - but a lot of friendly, happy people around. |

UTK is a stronger school than Penn State in literally zero respects. |

We loved our visit to UTK. In his top 5.
Admissions rate is now in low 40s. |

everyone who can pay full boat gets into Penn State from OOS, def not true with UTK- don’t think the difference between the schools is dramatic, but UTK is definitely a tier above PSU |
