Describe your college in three sentences.

The community based approach that the University of the South makes, is fantastic. 13,000 acres of open opportunities. The fun awaits your arrival.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Prepare yourselves for your senior year. Take tough classes and mature quickly. Sewanee can eat you alive if you are not prepared.

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

Classes are a step above AP and IB classes. If you do well in those classes and have a good study habit, you'll do fine.

Some of the best, if not the best, dorms in the liberal arts college circuit. They are building a new dorm for freshman as we speak. Some dorms could improve, but they all are a work in progress.

It good and bad. Average but its unlimited so it is what it is. Plus, you receive Tiger Bucks for other locations on the campus.

Parties, Frats, Sorors, all that jazz ; but can be boring all at the same time. Whatever floats your boat.
