    I love being a student at the University of Memphis. The campus is a nice size, and very pretty. There is a diverse group of students, so you never know who you are going to meet! The teachers are helpful and there is just a good, positive atmosphere about the campus. There are countless places to eat and a computer lab in almost every building!
