If you put the effort forth to get something out of the class you will, however it is pretty easy to coast through some courses. Most of my experience is with the journalism department and I've noticed that more and more the it is focusing its curriculum on hands on experience. With the independent student newspaper, The Daily Helmsman, at any student's fingertips, there is no reason to not have honed your journalistic skill before graduating.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
The University of Memphis is an extremely active, lively campus. With over 100 student organizations to join concentrated on a variety of interest, there's literally a place for everyone. About 25,000 students attend The U of M, with 90 percent being commuter students. Still, it seems that lots live close by and hang out on campus. Daily there are events for students to attend with a lest kept in the newly constructed University Center and on a online calendar. The Daily Helmsman keeps you up-to-date on campus news and does a great job at incorporating your opinions and what you want to read.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
The college is relatively inexpensive with low student fees. The student fees are always put to use, with daily activities on campus, many of which bring in celebrities, bands and other events of interest to students. A plethora of scholarships are also available from The University itself and private donors.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Buy your textbooks at Textbook Brokers off Walker Avenue. A study done by The Daily Helmsman (dailyhelmsman.com) shows they are the cheapest by far. Be weary of parking in the limited space in front of R.P. Tracks. The area has been known to see countless hit and runs of parked vehicles. Speaking of parking, if you can afford it buy a priority permit, as the lots fill up quickly and everyone's experienced being late to class due to not being able to find a parking spot. If you don't buy a pass to park in the privileged lots or garages, park off Southern, it's less packed than the Central lot.
Most of all, JOIN an organization. I promise there is one that is right up your alley.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
I'm not being cliche when I say everyone has a spot at The U of M. With a major in most areas, and ways to get involved with any interest, this lively campus offers a lot to a lot of different types of students. The honors program is involved and there are great free tutoring programs for those interested and athletes.
The University of Memphis is great! GO TIGERS!
