Memphis has a wide range of academics and career opportunities! They offer many organizations, clubs, and leadership opportunities. There is a lot of diversity in ethnic groups and religious groups and athletics. They are getting better at football and they are also getting better at basketball. There are many resources for help with academics and with financial aid. The school provides assistance for disabilities and for those who work while attending classes. Housing is very accommodating and convenient for walking to classes. The staff is very nice and very helpful. It is also a very safe campus. The campus police officers have good experience and are efficient and helpful in keeping others safe. The school is also located around many cool restaurants and places where students can go!
This was a great decision that I made to attend the U of M. The professors care about your success, and they are willing to help you if you are not understanding a concept. I also love that in order to graduate from the university, you have to complete an internship. Which means you will have experience that majority of these jobs require when you graduate! The faculty here are very supportive of the students and will go the extra mile to help you.
I started at the University of Memphis a year ago after graduating from high school. It was a completely new experience of school, but the University of Memphis did a great job getting us comfortable and confident that we made the right choice. Most professors are great, I would just recommend checking their individual reviews and choosing the right one for you. Overall I am really glad I attend the University of Memphis!
