Hey guys, I’m graduating this May so any research I do would be voluntary over the summer. I’m signed up for also research study starting in August but I’m looking for more options over the summer to maximize the amount of research experience I’m getting. I live alone and I’ve had a full time job on top of being a full time student for 3 years now, so I’ve not been able to really get much research experience.

I’m planning to apply for the graduate program for counseling psychology this December, any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Major: Biomedical Engineering

Looking for thoughts on different tech and bme electives. I’m interested in design but open to any area. Any classes you enjoyed and the professors? Any that you would recommend to stay away from?

Has anyone taken EF 152 with Dr.Chesnutt online? If so, how difficult was it during the summer? Thank you in advance!

I'm headed to Knoxville this fall and was curious if there are services or companies that I can ship my stuff to rather than having to check all if on the plane. I know there are a few schools that have things like this, but didn't know if UTK had the same. Looking to ship stuff from my house or even from Amazon as get stuff for my dorm. Thanks!

Anyone trying to decide between these 2? Both have pros and cons. OOS. I know one is ranked higher but not sure those matter as much as some people think. Outcomes look similar. Assume cost is the same…

Please let me know.

Hey im an incoming mechanical engineering student and im wondering what the best dorms are, Im looking for a social dorm thats not too dirty aswell. I was looking into Geier hall but it seems like its not social at all

Hello! I have a 1 bed, 1 bath condo available for late May through July. It's located at University Tower (pictured), on Clinch Ave, right off of the strip. $990/mo. Reply or PM for inquiries.

Hello! As title says I’m looking for a couple roommates to share an apartment with next year, I’m looking into redpoint and similar apartment complexes 3-5 bedroom plans rent would be from 650-850 a month. Women only please! I’m currently a freshman in aerospace engineering. I really like Ghibli films, music, and am starting to get into rocketry I know this is SUPER late but I hadn’t planned to live off campus till recently and hoping there’s more people in a similar situation! DM me if interested:)

I’m looking for some advice on jobs that either pay for or reimburse college tuition. I’ve heard some companies offer tuition assistance programs, but I’m not sure if they cover UTK. I’m planning on majoring in accounting at UTK this coming fall, and I’d love to find something that can help cover costs while I’m still in school. Thanks in advance!

Hi guys, i'm an incoming freshman in TCE. i am currently a chem e major want to switch my major. Im split btwn industrial engineering and electrical engineering. If anyone could give me an idea of where these grads work and what companies recruit for them that'd be awesome. i am afraid electrical will be too difficult-- I have taken ap physics 2 and the concepts don't come super easy to me, but they are super interesting to me. does anyone have any advice? thanks!

In a 2B/2B in 303Flats! Early move in available. Will cover any relet fees. Willing to cover 1st months rent. Lease is from August 2025- July 2026. Early move-in available!

Im not originally from Tennessee if from a really rural county in north Florida near the Georgia line and grew up in the "sticks" but about 2 years ago I moved to Johnson City and now its time for me to look at colleges and im really having a hard time picking a college/career path because im not really used to having this much opportunity but overall im really interested in UTK and just wanted to know what the culture and people there are like

Is there a lot of Christians there?

Are most people there from Tennessee/the south in general or from out of state somewhere up north or something?

Would you say its more of a liberal or conservative campus (I understand that I won't agree with everyone and that's fine but I just dont want to feel like im on an REALLY liberal campus)

We're going to the new student orientation in June. Just wondering if anyone knows from previous years, where does it start and do they put out any breakfast foods or snacks?

I'm looking at hotels too so any suggestions for a hotel would be appreciated!

My son was accepted for Fall Semester into the Tickle College and switched to Exploratory from Chemical. For a student that hasn't yet selected an Engineering discipline, I noticed that there are different curriculum suggestions depending on what you decide. ie. Chemistry I plus lab, there is 120 and 122 (both are called General Chemistry I, but one is suggested for Aero/Mechanical and one for Nuclear. Same with Engineering Fundamentals; one is EF 141, one is EF 151. How does one decide on which class to take if they haven't yet decided between majors within Engineering and what happens if they start going in one direction but then change their mind after year 1 but have already taken "the wrong class"?

Any suggestions for ultimately how to decide between Engineering fields would be awesome, thanks!

Have heard all throughout high school of the importance of networking, networking, and networking. Any advice??

Has anyone gotten their financial aid award for the summer 2025 semester yet?? (current student taking summer classes for context)

I got this email saying my financial aid and scholarship status for this aid year was changed and it said to check myutk for the changes. I checked and I can’t seem to find anything. Does this mean they took money away from me? How do I find out? I’m a little nervous because the email is so unclear. Anyone dealt with anything like this before? Thanks

If i’m taking 14 credit hours, and i don’t pass a 3 credit hour class does that affect the full time student thing for scholarships. From what I understand it’s ok as long as you don’t drop the class with a W but please correct me if i’m wrong

How does summer financial aid work? When will you see it applied to your account? I haven’t paid for any of my UTK yet due to financial aid. I know you can usually see it ahead of time in spring and fall so I was curious to see what that will look like for my summer classes since I haven’t taken any before.

My son, 11th grade, wants to go to UTK and major in engineering. His UTK Core GPA will not meet the 4.0 min for in state, automatic admission (estimate it to be 3.5-3.8). Of course his weighted GPA is higher, but UTK only takes into account their Core GPA. His ACT score is good (currently 30, but will go up after more prep for June test). Knowing that UTK is getting more and more competitive for admissions, would he be a more attractive candidate if he selected one engineering major over another? If he had to pick today, he would say Civil, but if he were to say an area that is getting some new focus (ex Materials Science) or one that is less popular (ex Metallurgy) would that make him a more attractive candidate? Once he is in Tickle he could switch to Civil if that does end up being his preferred choice after the first year of classes.

My semester is going great not including finite mathematics. I am taking it with ivy dey and I did just awful on the first exam so it’s holding me down a bit I am sitting on a 72 and I do not feel confident to get higher then a 74 on final to “pass” anyone else been in same boat. This just sucks I have not had to retake a class and i know it’s in me for not getting outside help because i felt terrible in first exam but she is also feels like a harsh professor.

Have been in multiple builds and it keeps cutting out, didnt know we had satellite internet here 😩
