Beyond the Campus
Committing to study at a university is about more than academics. It’s also about finding the right place to call home. <a href="https://www.visitknoxville.com"Knoxville is a thriving Southern city known for its historic sites, numerous art museums, festivals, great outdoors, diverse music scene, and wide variety of eateries (and all within walking distance from each other!).
With its sophisticated mix of culture and cuisine, Knoxville gives southern hospitality a new image.
UT is also perfectly situated for outdoor adventure. The Tennessee River runs by campus, which is just a few miles from Knoxville’s Urban Wilderness, a system of more than 1,000 forested acres with over 50 miles of multiuse trails that is attracting national attention. Campus is also just a short drive away from the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, the most-visited national park in the country.
