Love Knoxville. My favorite three schools for vibe in the SEC would be UT Austin, UF and Knoxville.


We visited Knoxville/UTK. Could not get out of town fast enough. Yuck.

A&M is the by far the richest of all of the schools with Texas. It is not even close. You can add all of the other endowments together and still A&M’s would be bigger….guess where part of that money goes….have you seen their professors at most departments and their backgrounds?


A&M is not on the same level as Florida and Georgia. No way.

Ok then. If you say so….why don’t you go look for actual data instead of spilling BS here. Compare Research productivity and output, professor CVs etc. Even if you look at rankings, you will not see any meaningful difference here. Besides you cant stop a train. And that train has an endowment that is more than $20BILLION higher than UFs and UGA combined!!!! Just look at the trajectory…..By the time your kid graduates, A&M will be ranked ahead of both UF and UGA. That kind of money UF and UGA can only dream off, will buy a lot of things…..better labs, better buildings, better professors which in turn creates more research output and more money and better students and better professors….

In the long run, UGA and UF just cant compete with the level of investment being done by A&M.


Sure, but nobody wants to go to a place that looks like a military college with a losing football team.

Huh? Responding to OP about which are most popular but appreciate your feedback.


It’s not as popular. A few years ago Tennessee was like Kentucky.

Im sorry, but you know what's popular at my kid's unnamed school?


You seem defensive. I don’t see as many Tennessee stickers around the beltway as SC, UGA, etc.

You should keep your eyes on the road.
