“Tennessee Orange” by Megan Moroney is a great song!

Loves the downtown life. We visited on game day and it was amazing. I hope you like orange. It’s a lot of orange! My DS left wanting to go but in the end decided on a diff school.

“Downtown” Knoxville is like a DMV suburb. Chain stores and restaurants. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

Anecdotal, not backed up with evidence, and in short irrelevant. Ignore.

The housing situation is bad—they don’t have enough dorms as they’ve admitted far too many kids. Kids scrambling to find housing after the 1st year. The other problem is that Kville isn’t like some college towns with ample/affordable off campus housing that’s close by (or even walking distance). So you find housing a few miles away and have to deal with commuter parking lots and then a bus to classes.

I have a kid at Vanderbilt - Nashville, Tennesse.

So during the fall, every week or two, some SEC school comes to Nashville to obliterate the Vanderbilt football team. And of course they bring their fans and make a weekend of it.

According to DC, the Tennessee students and alumni are the worst. Belligerent, drunk, trashy. Ole Miss and Georgia are very classy in comparison as they demolish Vanderbilt. Tennessee is... not classy. All redneck all the time.

As an AL fan who witnessed two UT fans urinate into cups and throw them onto people during a football game - I can confirm this.

The only kid I know who goes there is unremarkable in every way.

Is this a UTK admissions troll? UTK is not even remotely close to UMD or Penn State; move UTK between Delaware and JMU

To see the university of Tennessee near UF in any scenario is hilarious.
