The University of Memphis is a wonderful place to go to school! The years there have been some of the happiest in my life. The friends that I made, the organizations I was a part of and led, the professors......these people have made a difference in my life. The best part is the feeling of open-mindedness. As Memphis is a diverse city, everyone is friends with others without judgment. I was friends with African-Americans, Asians, Latinos, and Caucasian classmates. The things I learned and the way I developed have changed me forever. Go Tigers!
The University of Memphis provides an accessible and affordable education. Also, despite what others may say, it also offers a quality education if that is what *you* want to get out of it. Just as with any learning institution there are going to be students who just float through the classes and somehow manage to pass and graduate, but the UofM offers much more than that to students who really hold the desire to learn. If you give your all when it comes to research assignments and exam preparation you are going to learn! The difficulty is there if you apply yourself.
As far as the faculty in concerned, the majority of the instructors I had were passionate about the topics they taught, and it really added value to the lectures.Overall, it's a great university with a very diverse student body. I would recommend it to any student want to attend school in Memphis.

This is my first year at college and I am enjoying my college life so far. I have met many new people that could have a major impact on my life in a positive way. However, I have ran into a couple of problems since I've been here. During my first semester of college, I stayed in the South Hall dorms. These dorms happen to be the oldest dorms on campus and they are not that clean but clean enough for people to stay in them. Right before the end of Christmas break, my roommate and I received a call from our R.A notifying us that our entire dorm had been molded and all of our belongings that we left behind had been destroyed. The college has not reimbursed us for everything, only the refrigerator and microwave. We were forced to move into another dormitory in the same building with the rest of our stuff that we had taken with us over the break. If I were to receive this money, I would use it to replace the rest of my belongings such as clothes, school supplies, and toiletries. Thank you!
