Bigotry here!

A freshamn we know there that came from a pretty diverse high school said he was taken a back at the use of the N word "with the hard R" and not used ironically. He's a white boy from Virginia so maybe assumptions were made that they could say that around him?

UTK is very high on my kid’s list and this is the biggest concern.

It's a fair concern. I know one AA female who matriculated there from Florida (not Miami, but not the sticks, either) within the last five years and was shocked the casual misogyny and racism she experienced at UTK. She personally was called a B at least weekly and a C and N at least monthly (the N often in combination with the B), and heard the same epithets hurled at others much more regularly. She loved the rah rah at the school, but never felt truly welcome there.

tenn and ga are peers

Other than Vandy being the best, UF the second best and MissSt the worst, this seems arbitrary.

I think UGA is much more selective than UTK

Ask current students if they’ve ever heard that word used.

You should contact the school or speak with a current student.

can someone weigh in on class size and relationships with professors. Also housing and social life. Thank you.

"How do we precisely rank the middle tier state universities" is a very stupid conversation even by DCUM College standards.

It’s 80% white which is probably a feature and not a big for you.

NP. I'm wondering what kind of person writes, much less thinks, such absurd things. Are you well?

The whole PSU vs UT thing is silly.

While PSU feels more basic, it places in northeast/nyc jobs of all sectors and west coast stem way more than UT.

And due to that, UT grads salaries are capped due to severe regional lock-in

I can't say it seems popular at our DMV school, but would agree of the characterization of the few kids that are attending. FWIW, I have a relative that likes many parts of Tennessee but now lives in Knoxville and doesn't like it much. Will have to ask why.
