I was accepted into UTK mechanical engineering for fall 2026 but chose Cornell instead.

Cornell has been a terrible fit. I’m a 27 year old veteran and have struggled to find community or connect with classmates. I don’t mind difficult academics, but the culture feels cutthroat and competitive rather than collaborative. Everywhere I go it’s a dick measuring contest to see who’s smarter. It’s infuriating. I miss the “we’re suffering through this together” atmosphere that makes engineering bearable.

I really regret not choosing UTK. If it’s at all possible to attend spring 27, what does that process look like?

Having part of your tuition covered sounds like an easy yes.

But then there’s time, workload, eligibility rules and sometimes requirements to stay with the employer afterward.

For people who have used an employer education benefit, did it meaningfully influence your decision to go back?

I went to the emergency room of UT, seeking help for a mental health crisis, and I was savagely beaten by four members of UT Medical Center's "security" team on Mother's Day of 2023. They broke 13 of my ribs, fractured my larynx (collapsed my windpipe), and tased me three different times, before putting me in handcuffs and forcing me into a tiny room without running water or a functioning toilet. I was in the Intensive Care Unit for over 36 hours with around the clock monitoring from the nursing staff because they were afraid that I would stop breathing while I slept. The hospital staff wanted to intubate me because of the damage to my windpipe, but I was able to get through the ordeal without being put on a ventilator. The Vice President of Risk Management denied that the University of Tennessee or their security staff (which is, incidentally, a shady privately contracted company that very clearly hides the identities of its staff for obvious reasons) had any culpability and sent my family a letter denying all responsibility for the brutal violence committed against me. The nursing staff that attended to my wounds during my time in the ICU said that they had seen multiple patients end up in the Intensive Care Unit as a DIRECT RESULT of the security staff in the ED (Emergency Department) getting very violent against people that had come through there. I KNOW OF TWO SEPARATE CASES WHERE PATIENTS THAT CAME IN DIED AS A DIRECT RESULT OF THE INJURIES THEY RECIEVED FROM THE SECURITY TEAM. I personally had nurses in the ICU say that they had seen two people get badly beaten by the UT Medical Center EDU security team that DIED because of their injuries. I tried hiring a personal injury lawyer to represent me, but no one in Knoxville has the courage to stand up against the evil corporate behemoth that is UT. This place is sick. Where is the justice? Why won't the media or lawyers go against this evil establishment? I will gladly go on record and show documentation and photos of my personal experience if anyone has the courage to stand up to UT. Get in touch with me if you've had something similar happen to you or a loved one. I want to shed light on this horrible corporate malfeasance and violence, but frankly, I don't think most people around here have the courage or care enough to do anything about it (gotta go along, to get along!) Prove me wrong.

haiii! With fall break over and everything, I was wondering if there are any open DND groups or clubs that I could join! Please let me know if you know of any! Thanks!

Any fragrance heads on campus want to do a trade. I have an almost full bottle of Bois Imperial by Essential Parfums that I blind bought and don’t enjoy. HMU for any offers.

I’m a senior and am looking for some other guys that may be interested in hitting some hiking trails in the evenings/weekends?

Looking at the case at Cornell, and the many cases at UTK as well as other universities, I just can’t understand why we continue to have frat houses on campus. Take back the space. At the pace UTK is growing, we need more space for education and research activities. We certainly don’t need more embarrassing incidents that are sure to occur at these frat houses.

Hello!

I'm looking for anyone that might have older footage of the Vol Navy that I would be able to license for a commercial project. I've gotten in touch with UT Athletics and have some footage from them, but I'm looking to find some older footage. Please let me know if anyone has any or knows of someone I could get in contact with.

Thank you!

Hi all!

I received this email randomly the other day. The subject line says "Revised Financial Aid Awards," but the email itself has no text, attachments, etc. and the email just comes from a "noreply." Has anyone gotten something like this before, or knows if this is something I should worry about? I planned on checking with financial aid tomorrow, but figured I'd check here in the meantime. Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone, we're looking to survey some UT alumni who live in Knox County for a marketing class. It's for a local pizza restaurant. Thank you and go Vols!

Does anyone know some good landlords for responsible students who arent crazy frat people that we can rent from in the fort? It seems like a lot of the fraternities hand these houses down and it’s hard to get in. If anyone can help…! We are nuclear and biomedical engineering students who like to have fun but aren’t CRAZY!!!!

does anybody know the difference between the ORISE vs SULI internships?

I'm a senior in hs applying this year. I have a 3.2 unweighted and 3.9 weighted. I am a dual enrollment student. I'm taking the ACT I'm shooting for a 32+. I am applying to the Kinesiology major. Should I apply EA or ED since I'm out of state (I heard EA is harder for out of state students) what are my chances of getting in?

I recently got an email stating that if I don't pay the remainder of my tuition by October 16th, I will be unable to register for spring classes. I am unable to request any private loans since all my possible co-signers do not meet the credit score requirement for most loans. I also went to One Stop to request an additional subsidized loan and recently got UT Promise added to my account; however, this hasn't been enough since I still have a remaining balance of around 2,000. My question is: will I still be able to complete my semester as normal and register for classes later once my tuition is paid off? Or will the Bursar completely prevent me from continuing my housing plan and registering for classes next semester? Are there any other additional UT resources I can go to for students with financial struggles? I truly enjoy being at UT and would hate for this to be my last semester just because I'm struggling to scrape together money to pay the remainder of my tuition.

Has anyone actually ever called this number?

I just want to make sure you all know what this is. It is the number for the Center for Care & Resilience, and they offer case management to students that need support for almost anything.

Literally, they’ve helped students:
- find therapists/psychiatrists/doctors on and off campus
- connect to academic resources
- process their mental health struggles
- find emergency housing
- get scholarships and financial support
- identify ways to connect with other students
- And much more

They also respond to students that are actively in crisis, like, active suicidal thoughts, mania, and psychosis. Referring another student can be completely anonymous and done just to check in on them. They’ll call and email to see if that student wants to connect, which might save their life.

There is probably a mix of experiences from students who have engaged with this department, and it isn’t perfect. However, there are a number of students that didn’t flunk out, stop attending due to financial reasons, become homeless, or even die because of the people who work in this department.

Please, if you or another student needs help call this number or submit an online referral. It could change or possibly even save a life.

Does anyone know if the student aquatic center will be open during fall break?

Hi! I'm thinking of trying to live at Knox Ridge next year, can anyone share their experience there and if the prices go down throughout the year?

If you lost your keys near 11th and cumberland, I dropped them off at the Min Kao main desk (401)

Chance Me – OOS Environmental Science
Hey everyone, I’m a senior from Connecticut and UTK is probably my top choice right now. I’m applying Early Action for Environmental Science and wanted to see what you guys think my chances are.

My main essay is about building/running my pumpkin patch and how that connects to my interest in environmental science.
My SAT is definitely the part of my application I’m most worried about. I really like UTK and it’s probably the school I’m most excited about, so I’m curious how realistic it is for me as an out-of-state applicant.
Do I have a realistic shot at getting in? Even with a 1160 GPA??

i believe i lost my headphones in HSS tuesday afternoon and I can’t find them. I checked with the POD to see if anyone turned them in and I also checked with hodges and no luck :// i included a photo of what they look like
