Review of Carson-Newman University

from Knoxville, TN

Describe your college in three sentences.

Carson-Newman is home. There is no other word for it. Everyone here is family.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Get involved in campus groups and clubs. You get out of Carson-Newman what you put into it.

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

The professors here are top notch and spend one-on-one time with each student. The teachers actually care about you.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

Some of my best memories from my last couple of years have come from the dorms. Its a great place to meet friends and to stay connected on campus.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

Isn't all college dining just kind of average?

What’s there to do for fun at your college?

You can go to the lake that is less than 5 minutes away. There are also caves that can be explored close by. The school is 20 minutes from both Knoxville and Pigeon Forge... aka Dollywood.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

Yes, the school is kind of pricey... however there is no other school that cares and educates their students as well as Carson-Newman
