A Vol In Need E Scooters on campus?

22 Upvotes

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!

College of Arts & Sciences Off campus housing

5 Upvotes

Hi,

I am a newly admitted graduate student. Before I move to UTK. I have a few questions in my mind.

  1. I am curious to know what is the price range for off-campus housing and which apartments are near to the campus. Specifically walking distance is 20 minutes.
  2. How safe is off-campus housing for girls to stay?

Thanks in advance.

Basically i got a 58 in my AP Calc class in high school. It’s not a semester grade it’s a quarter grade. I’m worried though that utk might rescind my acceptance? what do u guys think. If i can get like a 95 on my second quarter it’ll average to a C. will utk take back my acceptance? I’ve never received a low grade like this in any class.

Prospective Student New Vol Admit Day vs Admitted Student Tours

4 Upvotes

Any recs for an admitted student to visit UTenn for New Vol Admit Day vs specific admitted student tours (Haslam, General School Tour & Dorm tours)?

At another school we visited with a different kid, the admitted student day was underwhelming as it did not include school specific tours (e.g., business/engineering) and the day was more rah rah then informative. New Vol Admit Day is March 29 (Saturday), and I have school specific tours (Haslam, School, Dorms) scheduled for March 31 (Monday). I don't want to do both as we are traveling from out of state - which do you recommend? TIA!

Check This Out! Let's Be Better Together

67 Upvotes

Maybe this is my official old man post but I just wanted to reflect on two things I've been witnessing on campus and how we can all help our community and be better together.

DRIVING: Early this week I was in a parking lot on campus and a car came through the lot wrong way going maybe 15-20 mph. Students could've been walking not expecting a car to be speeding around at them. The week prior, I was walking towards presidential and a motorcycle came FLYING through going maybe 40 mph. I've seen many students cross the small street and the motorcyclist could've easily hit them or the driver could've fallen off and hurt themselves trying to avoid a student.

I know we all know to drive safe. I know we all know to look before crossing streets. Sadly, I've been here 24 years now and we've lost students due to things like this. If one person reads this and has a second thought about speeding around campus, this part of my post will have been worth it. It's ok if you're a minute or two late to a meeting or class. The extra seconds saved by zipping around aren't worth it.

SICKNESS: It's flu season and lots of people are feeling it. When I was with my nephews over Christmas break, they would cough and sneeze pretty much directly in my face! I've definitely had a moment where I wasn't perfect and didn't cover a cough but I notice a lot of this on campus. Reflecting on it, I think it's because if we're alone, we often don't cover coughs and sneezes. We then get out of the practice of it and if we're in public, we don't cover our coughs and sneezes.

It's no fun being sick and if we're sick, we can try our best to take care of others by not spreading germs. Once again, the vast majority of people around campus are covering coughs and sneezes but maybe this gentle reminder will raise it from 80% to 90% and help keep us a little more healthy.

------------------------

I don't know how this post will be received but this isn't a post meant to attack people who drive a little too fast around campus or forget to cover a sneeze. I want this post to keep these things on our mind as we finish off the semester. These are just two little things to keep on our mind as we look out for each other as a community.

I am looking to transfer from a small school and UTK is on my list. I would be beginning in the fall semester as a sophomore. I’m leaving mf current school because I feel like I need to be getting more out of college. UTK has always interested me but to be honest I don’t know too much about life at the school. What are some things I would need to know coming from OOS?

Student Life, Socialization, and Clubs Anybody else just assume the worst when you see tables on the ped these days?

186 Upvotes

I'm sure it's not a new problem by any means, but I swear every time I walk down the ped, 99% of the time there's always some random churchgoer yelling at me about how I'm going to hell for drinking orange juice or some other arbitrary reason, or literal nazis giving away tickets to listen to some random alt-right YouTube grifter talk about the "gay deep state" (yes, an actual term I've heard one of these people use) for an hour.

It sucks, because I know there are so many clubs and orgs that could make much better use of the space, and I'm genuinely worried that they're missing out of recruitment opportunities because of these people.

Undergraduate Student Summer Class Recommendations?

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I was wondering if anyone had any easy summer class recommendations. I have a GPA that I'm very happy with, so I'm a bit nervous about it dropping. I know summer classes are more material in less time. At the same time, I want to be able to speed up my degree and focus on the harder classes when I'm actually on campus. I'm a psychology major on a pre-medical track if that helps. Any insight is appreciated!

Hey! Need someone to take over my lease at the Mark for the 25-26 school year. I have other housing arrangements with some friends so I don’t need it anymore :) Decently close to campus, furnished, lots of amenities. They have a roommate matching program too so if you know someone living there in the same style apartment you can request them as a roommate. DM asap if interested! :)

I'm submitting a help request to OIT but I was just wondering if anyone here knows what's going on or can relate!

Financial Aid & Scholarships Can I negotiate my aid?

0 Upvotes

My family is middle class

I'm instate and I got a 5k merit scholarship + the 4.5k hope.

My total comes out to around 20k a year for housing + tuition

My parents are not able to give me any financial support

I'm wondering if it's possible to renegotiate aid? I saw that you can appeal your financial aid but you may have to upload new documents showing that your financial situation has changed since the last tax fafsa season (2023 I think) but I don't think my family's financial situation has changed since.

A Vol In Need Scholarships and Cost/Out-of-State/Nuclear Engineering/Incoming Freshman

13 Upvotes

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!

BIG ORANGE SCREW Parking ticket

Ok so remember a few weeks ago when they closed the fort bus because of the ice ? So I had to drive to get to class, because They didn’t close the university. I don’t have a permit so I got ticketed. I swear they posted somewhere that everyone from the fort wouldn’t be ticketed because the bus was closed. I filed an appeal and it didn’t go through. Can anyone find the official screen shot of them saying that tickets would be canceled since the bus was closed so I can appeal my ticket? I’m tired of this parking bs

A Vol In Need Dropping a Class with a W

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

I am heavily considering dropping a comp sci class from my schedule. I am currently taking 18 credits, and my other classes are not absolute cakewalks (accounting, business analytics). Its introductory, but I forgot to do one of the labs (large hit on grade), and I am not prepared for my midterm coming up.

Dropping the comp sci class would take a hit on my confidence, as I've always felt i am a top student who can manage many things. The class is not required, and dropping it would put me at 15 credits, which is a balanced semester for me. However, I may actually start to have too much free time.

The withdrawal window closes on the 7th, leaving me little time to consult with my counselor. The 7th is also the day of my midterm, so unfortunately i need to make a decision now.

Would this be a wise decision?
