Campus Life

Campus has a lot of good places to eat and they are open at very reasonable times. The cafeteria like places offer so-so food that you would find in middle school but there are a couple of places that you can get restaurant type food. There are of course a couple of subways, quiznos, starbucks, pizza huts, and chick-fil-a's around as well as convenience stores. However, there aren't a lot of healthy options, and since you are so close to downtown, it is better to walk downtown and get food there. The food on campus is crazy expensive. An example is in the convenience store, you can buy a normal box of cereal and it costs $6.00 where at the store (or the walgreens you can walk to from campus) it would be $3.50.

There is PCB dining, University Center dining, Starbucks, and 'The Strip' which is Cumberland Avenue are all close by and offer a huge selection to choose from. The UC has Subway, AFC/sushi, Chick Fil A, Sbarro, and Petro's. There are Starbucks strewn all over campus, and the library has a Starbucks open 24/7. Cumberland Avenue has endless fast food, restaurants, and bars.

Lots of options.

Food was great for about the first month. Options vary from buffet style dining hall food & fast food. Unfortunately, when I started attending, they decided to get rid of the 24-hour iHop, and I recently learned that next semester they will also be getting rid of the only homestyle cooking eatery on campus. I do not recommend getting a meal plan. If you want to eat on campus, it is easier to just pay with your own money. Convenience stores are available on campus, but they are overpriced by 2-3 times the amount of regular store prices.

Things can be quite pricey if you don't have a meal plan. Take advantage of the meal plan and dining dollars.

great plans!

Great food.

There are endless options for food and in presidential court they are dining halls, as well as many other across campus. The Strip is also really close/convenient and an easy walk for those days you want food from off campus. On campus and even in the UC there are subways and Chick-Fil-A, even options for sushi and Japanese.

Always love having chickfila on campus! We now have two!

Dining is not that great on campus. You may want to cook for yourself.

Amazing array of Greek Life groups, and their houses are ginormous. They are always involved on campus.

Greek life is huge at UT!

I rushed but halfway through the process I realized I didn't like who I was when I was around all of the other girls. That being said, it wasn't for me, but I know people who absolutely loved it.

Tons of Greek life to choose from

Think typical southern greek society

A large percent of student go Greek. It really helps you meet people and get involved when you come to a large campus like this. Fraternity row is very nice and we are almost done with all of our Sorority village and all of the houses look amazing! Most of the houses already have girls living in them and by the fall every house will be filled! There are endless social events, as well as philanthropic within the Greek community. I definitely encourage students to go Greek!

Not a member, but it doesn't seem as big as some other campuses. Sorority village just opened recently with nice new houses. Greek row is kind of off to the side of campus.

Greek life can be a big part of campus.

Very large Greek community.

Very predominant on campus
