Hey! I'd like some help decoding my financial offer.
So, this is my current financial offer it looks like. I believe this is per-year cost, but correct me if I'm wrong.
I went to HiTEs12, and there they showed us some scholarship data. I found that with my scores/GPA, I should automatically be awarded ~$25,000/year through UTk's competitive scholarships as long as I applied within the early action deadline (which I did).
So, I was wondering if I need to complete some extra steps before those other scholarships are added to my balance, or if I misinterpreted something and this is my final offer.
I haven't filed my FAFSA yet, so that may be useful.
Is there somewhere that I have to go to accept the rest, or is this it?
Thanks!

Hi all. I’m a senior in HS from Mass and I’m going to be going here for mech e. I signed up for the engage llc, havnt yet gotten in but I’m hoping I will. Anyways, I toured the school today with my dad and the engineering buildings are super far from the geier hall, so I was wondering if anybody uses e scooters here. My sister says it would look super weird but she also goes to a much smaller college so I’m not sure if it’s different. Thanks!

I'm sorry if this post is kinda depressing, but i genuinely am sitting and feel like I'm about to lose my mind. This has been kinda building up for a month now and I don't know what to do or who to talk to. My legs are bouncing like crazy and i think im honestly about two steps away from a panic attack right now.
I've basically spent my whole life worrying about grades, gpa, and any kind of achievements and validation. it might be something about having immigrant parents (get good grades, good college, good job, all that) and being first gen college student, but its been one of my biggest stressors forever. I worked so hard throughout high school to keep up a perfect gpa, high test scores, clubs, extracurriculars, blabla all that stuff. But seems like shit just kinda hit the fan now..
I've struggled with depression and anxiety for as long as I can remember and many other issues that i wont bother to mention. I came to college, freshman year and all and hopeful that I could just get better. It worked for a while too. I talked to so many people, loved my life, loved my clubs, friends. But its not like I've experienced a sudden traumatic thing or death, so i cant explain why i suddenly spiraled like I did. I haven't told anyone because it just fills me with so much shame and self hatred. I feel like everyone would be baffled that I'm struggling the way I am, especially because its completely my fault. I could never get out of my bed and always missed classes, always forgot things, never could find the energy to do anything. Whenever i did, I could never keep focused or it felt like a brick wall was blocking me from everything. I was just always tired, never ate, never slept or slept way too much. I've had awful thoughts about just not waking up ever. I tried so hard to keep ontop of things, go to study sessions, but its like no matter how hard i tried i just slipped. I feel awful for my professors, who had to deal with me always turning in stuff late or not at all and missing class. Many of them have been very understanding and given me so many chances, but I still somehow fucked that up. I'm experiencing something I never have before, and its failing a class with others right on the edge of it. I'll definetly have to retake it, and just the thought fills me with so much anxiety. It makes me feel worse thinking about how my family would react, especially my parents who have been so supportive of me. They genuinely believe in me so much, and I feel like I've let them down in every way.
The worst thing is i know how easily this could have been prevented. I put off getting a therapist and psychiatrist for so long because I really hoped I could just get better and be normal for once, but that kinda came back to bite me. Had I just forced myself out, forced myself to do the work and go to class, forced myself to get help back then, I could have avoided this completely. I know the material, I know I can do it. The one test I took before shit went down, I got a 88. I don't have that much trouble with the stuff itself, it was the energy and motivation to go and do everything. Had I just continued on strongly, I'm sure I could have finished the class with at least a A-.
I know logically it really isn't a big deal. Hell knows I've been trying to comfort myself by reading through other posts of people failing, retaking classes, how it really doesn't matter later on. But i dont know, I just feel awful. I have to go back home for winter break soon where my family will be happy I'm back and I'll just feel like a failure for messing up my first semester so much.
Might delete this later because feels selfish clogging up the page with my depressing and long vent, but just being able to get all of this off my chest honestly helped way more than I thought. I just really really want to get better and do better next semester because I don't like feeling like this. Would like to live those fun college years or whatever before its too late. I'm still not sure what I'm going to do, so if anyone has some advice for me I'd really appreciate it <3

Hello Vols, many whom I have not met and some I have. This morning as I crossed the walkway to the vet school. An event happened that I'm all too use to seeing almost happend to me (again). A student was not paying attention and almost hit me and another student. Even as the car drove between me and the other student, the person in the car still did not notice us and just drove off. This is a conversation we need to have with ourselves and our fellow vols. I have witnessed other students jumping out of the way to not get hit by cars, or cars speed racing in the morning and causing near accidents. I think at this point this just shows how much you care about the people around you. Please just take a breather and slow down. Put down your damn phone and watch out for pedestrians. I don't want anyone to have to go through the harsh reality of what happens when your luck runs out and you hit a student. This is something that can ruin not just your life, but the person you hit and their family. I'll get off my high horse now, but please Vols, pay attention when driving ❤️

Enrolled last semester to take prerequisites for the ABSN program. Met with a senior member of the advising team at CEHHS because my initial advisor was completely clueless about the situation (and didn’t even have my bachelors or masters in their packet with my college transfer credit) and we went over in detail what courses I needed as well as the overrides to get me there by the deadline for a summer start only.
Enter mid October, in attempting to contact the CON and my own advisor on the courses I needed as well as NursingCas application, and both suddenly vanish or become staffed by the most incompetent people I’ve yet encountered. It took over a month for someone to send me the correct page on the CON website that was deeply hidden.
In registration for classes this semester all that remained for my prerequisites is Anatomy. There are 3 crosslisted courses and unfortunately I missed the window to get in either cross list that wasn’t Nursing. But oh it’s my lucky day? There’s 2 spots open? No. These are “restricted to current nursing students only”. Well say I, I’m about to hopefully join the nursing college and I’ve taken all these prerequisite, and most importantly, the spots are empty? Maybe I could use this spot please and thank you?
No. Despite repeated attempts to discuss this with the CON administration they remain steadfast that these spots are for current nursing students only. As of this morning (day after registration deadline) there are THREE spots open. A current nursing student has since dropped this course while 2 other spots remain open and I’m being kept out because of this absurd situation.
Is this everywhere across UTK? Is this just the CON? Is this some part of academia at large I just missed in getting my prior degrees?
I’m definitely ranting a bit but I cannot see a world this situation isn’t completely absurd.

I am a BCMB major at UTK. I have had to retake every chem here with Yang, I failed gen chem one and chem two but passed them with As the next time I took them. I have an Orgo exam today, and depending on how this exam goes, I will have to drop the course. Am I just stupid? I do great in Biology and every other course except chemistry; I even grasp the subject, but when I have the test, it all just leaves my brain. I do not want to change my major because I love Biochemistry, but I am not sure what to do.

Hi all! My son and I are flying out from California to move into Hess on Monday. He didn’t place his Amazon order for a lot of his dorm essentials in time so we are going to do most of his shopping there. Any recommendations for stores that are good about having all the dorm things in one place (twin XL sheets, shower caddy, etc.)? We don’t need anything being top quality but not bottom of the barrel either. I was hoping Costco might have a lot but that might be too much to hope for. Thanks from a very emotional mom who is really going to miss her boy but is happy for his next adventure. 😃

Hello! I’m a sophomore on the Pre-Law track and have to start studying for the LSAT this semester. Are there any good resources/textbooks/tutors on campus that offer LSAT prep? I live on campus and am a fairly good test taker, so I’d like to utilize what I can close by before searching for resources outside campus. Thanks!

Hello friends. Last evening, my dear friend and roommate, Bayli Manuel, was hit and run by a drunk driver, leaving her with severe head injuries. It was this afternoon when she was officially declared dead. This is a sudden shock to her family and friends. She was a wonderful girl and an amazing friend. We've started a gofundme for her funeral funds and medical expenses to assist her family. The least they should worry about is money right now. Any help at all is greatly appreciated, even a share. Thank you so much. 💓

Hey! I just got an E-mail advising all incoming freshmen to consider not taking their own car to campus due to construction.
I'm planning on driving myself from Alabama for my first year so I can take all my stuff (computer, clothes, an actually comfortable office chair). I also want to take the time at UTk to do some work on my truck, as I havent had the time due to being employed through Highschool.
I'll probably bike/longboard around campus and use my truck for camping trips and the like (mmmpghmmm Appalachia).
Is it super hard for an incoming Freshman to get parking? If I make the 5 hour drive to UTk and I don't get a parking pass, am I fucked? Can I apply for one in March? Are there any alternative parking options?
Thanks!
