If you are looking for an institution where you are in control of your own success, do not choose the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, Haslam College of Business. Your success is completely dependent on the contributions of other students. Most courses include group projects that are weighted much more than individual assignments.
Overall 1.9
Parking is oversold, some professors are amazing and some are terrible, campus is dirty and crowded. Advisors will purposely mess up your schedule to keep you there longer. Overall not worth the hype. It's only going to be fun if you're here to party. Anyone looking for a quality education should go elsewhere.
Overall 2
Shootings outside campus, money-hungry management of the school, caters to party people and not actual students. A lot of dull people go here. Do not go here if you actually want to learn.
