Alum: I graduated summa cum laude from Vanderbilt University in 2021 with a Bachelor's degree in Neuroscience. I primarily chose to attend Vandy for its academic prowess, and it definitely lived up to that reputation. In retrospect, I loved the majority of my STEM classes, and I find that my education was well-rounded because of my required liberal arts classes. The campus is beautiful, the food is relatively good, and on-campus housing is average. Admittedly, I was excited to live off-campus for my last two years (but beware - living in Nashville is not cheap). Socially, I had a great time at Vandy, especially thanks to the liveliness of Nashville, but sadly not due to Vanderbilt sports - this is not their strong suit. I met lifelong friends at this school! Realistically, however, many students do come from wealthy backgrounds, which can be off-putting at times. Ultimately, while undeniably expensive, Vanderbilt is a great school that will certainly work to your advantage after graduation.... Read 1,339 reviews

Junior: I am a transfer student who transferred to the University of Tennessee Knoxville a couple months back. My short experience as a Vol has been unlike anything I have ever been apart of before. The energy on this campus is miraculous. The students, faculty and staff are all so engaging and welcoming. It is clear that at this institution, success is a huge deal. Student strive to be successful while professors aim to get the students prepared for their future career. The charisma that Rocky Top has is remarkable. The campus is beautiful and safe, the resources this campus has are out of this world. I am very proud to be a Vol and will carry the University of Tennessee legacy with me wherever I may end up!

Alum: To begin, the size of Rhodes College is ideal for getting to know many other students, especially of other graduation years. The campus has beautiful buildings (though some are better on the outside), and the location next to a large forest is especially beautiful in fall. Memphis has a lot of culture and history to provide too. The weather is pretty nice during the school year, and strong greek life means there are a lot of opportunities to go out. An added benefit is that even though greek life is strongly present, it didn't feel weird to not be a part of it and yet still go to the parties because it's about half- half. I'm thankful for my time there, for my small class sizes, and for some of the best educators I've experienced. The science departments offer plenty of research opportunities and study abroad is encouraged! Go Lynx!... Read 668 reviews

Graduate Student: The University of Memphis provided a vast selection of courses, offering diverse perspectives and in-depth explorations of each respective subject. Many of the professors I had the pleasure of learning from were passionate and driven about their area of study, and this translated to a care for their students' academic well-being. Moreover, this often translated to a care for their students' overall well-being. While it cannot be said for everyone, in my personal experience, a majority of the professors and peers I came across were kind and motivated by community advancement. I found, most especially in the courses relative to my English (Creative Writing) major, a community of people who not only sought success and enrichment for themselves but for their peers around them. This continuously inspired me to do the same.... Read 2,214 reviews

Sophomore: Middle Tennessee State University is a brilliant university for students wanting to truly succeed in their careers. They have helped me tremendously with my path to becoming a pilot by not only ensuring top notch education, but also ensuring I make connections with people who are already within the career field of my choice. The Professors create an atmosphere that motivates the students to learn and get excited about learning. Overall, MTSU has been one of the best decisions I have made for my education!...

Junior: Lincoln Memorial University is a wonderful place to attend college. The campus is absolutely beautiful. Not to mention, there is an abundant amount of rich history right in this area. It has become a place to call home with people to call family. There is a variety of majors one can choose from. There are also amazing opportunities such as studying abroad. The campus is big on student involvement and does a fantastic job of putting together activities and community service events. Because the university is located in a small town, there is not much to do. Therefore, Lincoln Memorial University is super engaged in student life to give students a fun college experience. Another thing I really like about Lincoln Memorial University is that they include the community in events too. For example, the university will hold concerts as a fun, creative, and affordable way for funding. Lincoln Memorial University also has a wide range of sports and curriculars for its students.

Freshman: Belmont has really shown me that talent does not have a label which allows me to know that I can share my story that ignites what’s within. Talents range into different categories, but having inspiration always collaborates into something. Let it be from observing different random objects or a piece that holds meaning. To know a talent, I start with myself because without myself, there would be no talent. As I am to know that I must believe in myself and my work, collective criticism and options are a must. To know that there are many possible ways to make something more eye-catching and inclusive has been provided by many faculty, staff, and students mainly because they are passionate about the successes that are achieved; hoping to help one another rise to the top. In my spirituality and faith, Belmont has provided the fellowship of communion and worship that is needed to push through anything. The reminder that God has plans for you radiates throughout the campus!... Read 1,773 reviews
