    Am learning a lot

    This University has small class sizes. Your professors will know your name and will be happy to answer your questions after class in their office. They're available on their office phones, email, or in person. And don't be afraid to sit in one of the front seats of the classroom! Another great thing about your professors knowing your name is that if you decide to apply for grad school after your undergrad degree is complete, you will have professors who can write excellent letters of recommendation for you.
    Am enjoying being here

    UC has a beautiful campus. It is a small town but it is not hard to find things to do. If you enjoy the city scene we're not that far from Knoxville and you won't have any problems finding friends who also like to go there. If you enjoy the outdoors we are very close to Cumberland Falls and it has a ton of hiking trails all around it.
    Bang for the buck

    UC is pretty expensive, but the in-state and out of state tuitions are the same and they give a lot of scholarships if you just ask your admissions counselor.
    Tips for prospective students

    Tour the University and ask the admissions office if you can do an overnight visit. If you play a sport request to room with an RA who plays the same sport as you.

    Will learn a lot

    Will enjoy being here

    The campus is beautiful from what I have seen.
    Bang for the buck

    I have already gotten a grant for over $5,ooo. The best part is that it only costs near $18,ooo a year for in-state students!
    Tips for prospective students

    I recommend talking to the students who already attend.
    Great for these types of students

    In three sentences

    overall, i do enjoy being here at the university of the cumberlands and do not regret coming here one bit. the atmosphere is great; specifically the people you come in contact with on a daily basis including other students, staff and the professors. i'm very happy with the choice i made to come here and i think i will have a fabulous next four years furthering my education.
    Tips for prospective students

    there are a few tips you will want to know before coming here. the university as a whole is pretty conservative when it comes to almost everything; that includes politics, religion, etc. don't be surprised if your teacher is referencing god or the bible in any of your classes because it happens semi-frequently (depending on the teacher of course).
    Academic Rigor

    the academics can be challenging sometimes, but other times you may find it to be almost too easy. in some of my classes (general education courses) i was not challenged at all. however, this is not the case for all courses. some will take a lot of work to get an a or b, luckily the school does have tutors to help you out and professors are more than willing to further explain lectures during their office hours.
    Dorm Life

    i, being a freshman, was put in the worst dorm so i can only speak for my building on this. however, all dorms on campus are broken down into boy/girl, there are no coed dorms. i do enjoy living in the dorm here and get along great with my roommates and everyone else. my dorm is an older building so it isn't exactly high tech but it isn't run down either. the dorm is about average, but the dorm life is superb.
    Food and Dining

    the food on campus is definitely one of its down falls. you have 3 main options - the grill which has pizza hut pizzas and items like that (limited food, but good quality), the cafeteria which is a buffet of various foods (many options, but bad quality) and the new patriot steakhouse which is like a sports bar specifically for our college (good food, but limited option to use meal plan on and located off campus).
    What to do for fun

    this can also be a down fall for the school, but it depends upon the person. most people at the school compete in some kind of sport, either varsity or inter mural which takes up a lot of time and can be a lot of fun. however, if you don't stay busy that way, it can get pretty boring. there aren't a lot of entertainment options in the town so you're pretty much stuck with finding something to do on campus. that being said, you can always hang with friends, play basketball in the gym or swim in the indoor pool

    Am learning a lot

    the professors here do a really good job of teaching you the material in such a way that it is easy to learn. plus, the vast majority of classes are small so you have more one-on-one time with your professor. if you have a question, the professors are happy to answer them because they care about your education
    Am enjoying being here

    the campus is beautiful and i find it to be very relaxing. i never feel like i am in a rush to go anywhere or do anything. it is surrounded by green trees and it is just a wonderful place to be
