Freshman: During my first semester of college at UTS, I loved the factually and students. I have grown to have a relationship with my professors and not just be another name on their roster. One thing I would like to see change is the water heater at the dorms I live in on campus. The water is often freezing. Other than that UTS is a great university!... Read 167 reviews

Freshman: I applied to Tennesee Wesleyan thinking it was just my backup school and I didn't wanna go there at all because it was gonna be like my little small hometown high school. I was wrong, I toured TWU and did so much research and I ended up loving it. Especially when I went there I had so many opportunities, and experiences, and it is one of the top ten nursing schools in East Tennessee.... Read 203 reviews

Junior: The atmosphere and the people are good. The school does a good job of developing leadership through many incentives for people to become student leaders and use those skills in their futures. As for classes, some professors are very good at explaining, and some aren't, and unfortunately, it seems that the majority falls in the latter category. It's not as intense as I make it sound, but the difference is noticeable especially when you're not good at the subject being explained and you depend a lot on the clarity of the lesson given by the professor. I'd surely like to see a change in some aspects concerning breaks (thanksgiving break, fall break, spring break), especially when discussing open hours. During breaks, the dormitories and apartments are closed to people of the other sex, and that makes it next to impossible to organize any type of get-together for those who remain on campus during a break. Buildings are closed and the experience is the complete contrary of a break.... Read 445 reviews

Junior: I transferred to FHU after two very tough years at a previous 4 year university. I did not know what to expect and I was honestly very scared to be away from my family and friends for school. Transferring as a junior can be difficult because everyone already knows each other and it can be hard to fit it. But FHU has the most positive, supportive atmosphere. You can truly tell each staff member is excited to see us every single day! I could not be more happy at FHU... Read 466 reviews
