I enjoyed my time at the University of Memphis! I graduated with a business degree. Most of my professors were very helpful, always making time when I needed extra help. I stayed in the dorms my freshman and sophomore years and I always encourage incoming freshman to live in the dorms at least one year. It has its ups and downs, but that experience is invaluable - you’re forced to step out of your comfort zone for sure.
As much as I loved going to sporting events, getting coffee each morning on my way to class, and all the friends I made while in school, I was so glad to walk across the stage to accept my diploma! I’ll even be going back for round two in the fall!

I am a junior. The thing I like most about UofM is the diversity in foreign languages. I am currently taking Spanish and Japanese. Although Spanish is a common language to teach in education Japanese is not. UofM also offers Chinese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, French, German, Arabic, Italian, Latin, and I believe that's most of them! I hope to learn more languages here!
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!
