Additional Costs
Room and Board The weighted average for room and board and other expenses is generated as follows:
  • (amount for on-campus room, board and other expenses * # of students living on-campus.
  • + amount for off-campus (with family) room, board and other expenses * # of students living off-campus with family
  • + amount for off-campus (not with family) room, board and other expenses * # of students living off-campus not with family)
divided by the total # of students. Students whose living arrangements are unknown are excluded from the calculation. For some institutions the # of students by living arrangement will be known, but dollar amounts will not be known. In this case the # of students with no corresponding dollar amount will be excluded from the denominator.

The University has wonderful and exotic classes with professors who are knowledgeable in their particular skill. The faculty is available almost anytime of the day for additional help. The class sizes are smaller at Martin than at other. However, even though Martin is a smaller school, the education a student may receive is not nay lower than other colleges.
Dexter from Millington, TN
So far, I feel that I have learned a lot in my classes at UT Martin. With the exception of one advanced math class, I have been able to excel and greatly increase my knowledge -- even in those mandatory classes that no one wants to have to take -- in all areas. All my professors were more than willing to help any struggling student before or after class, during office hours, or by appointment, and there are also labs and tutoring services freely available to those who need them. It seems that the professors here actually enjoy their jobs and try their best to give you the most beneficial learning environment possible.
Megan from Rives, TN
With the small class sizes, it is very easy to create a relationship with our professors. I have been able to talk to all of my professors and found that it is best to visit them in office hours. This will show them that you are interested in the class and care about our education. It will also help them get to know you.
Adrian from Henning, TN
The professors at UT Martin are very knowledgeable. They enjoy what they're teaching and want you to enjoy it too.
Sarah from Knoxville, TN
An amazing enviornment for students focused on higher education. The staff are akin to parents and best friends. The best place to be for driven, education oriented students with a drive to succeed.
Maggie - Decherd, TN
This school has a great woman's basketball, soccer, softball and volleyball program and the football team had a player drafted to the Indianapolis Colts in the Spring of 2013. Academic wise this school has great teachers with a defined goal in mind of getting students jobs and helping them become better people and students. Overall it is a school that is up and coming and has a the great name of the University of Tennessee to back it up.
Jennifer
One of the greatest educational treasures of Tennessee. West Tennessee has no other university that offers the course and major options like Martin. Furthermore, it's affordable and nearby for students that don't want to be too far from home.
Mary from Drummonds, TN
The campus is safe and beautiful. The teachers and administration are mostly kind and helpful that I've seen so far. There are plenty of student activities and clubs for anyone who puts forth effort to attend them!
Rebecca
UT Martin is the best decision I made in my life. Classes are small and the teacher to student ratio is amazing. There, you are getting a private school education for a public school price.
Jarmeisha from Memphis, TN
This University offers a diverse faculty that is willing to help every student succeed. there are plenty of social and non-social student organizations that are easy to get involved with. This is a welcoming environment and very friendly to entering freshman!
Brittney from Memphis, TN
