From the college application to gaining enrollment, the recruiters for this university are extremely helpful and always willing to give guidance. The campus itself is phenomenal with many classes are within a 15 minute walking distance. Most importantly, the overall atmosphere of both the college and the people who go there is warm and inviting-I always feel welcome when I am on campus.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Even if this University is not your first choice, make it at least your 'plan Z,' because it is a 4-year university that rivals many of the more highly recognized universities in both it's classes and campus. When applying for this college or any college, make sure to ask the recruitment office questions to things you do not quite understand-it's their job to help you.
When gained acceptance into this college, make an effort to check your assigned email frequently. Also, when gained acceptance, make an effort to apply for the Scholarship Manager, and check it frequently. Make an effort to sign up for New Student Orientation (NSO), and, if able, sign up for the earliest session available, because it will allow you to choose later times for classes. If able, I greatly stress signing up for Frosh Camp, because it will greatly help you better understand info that you were introduced to in NSO and is truly a life-changing experience.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
I cannot stress enough the importance of attending all of your classes. Only meeting 1-3 times a week, each time you meet your teacher will teach through 1-3 chapters. Yet, as a whole, the classes are manageable-they can be challenging but will not destroy your brain. Most classes will require that you study outside of class and that you invest in both group study sessions and tutoring. Luckily, the university offers free tutoring to all students in every subject.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
Dorm life grants you an opportunity to meet and get to know people you may had never before considered people who you would normally hang out with. Living on-campus, you may or may not know who your roommate will be. In fact, living next door may be a future classmate, a future study partner, a future tutor, a future mentor, a future life-long friend. Living on-campus symbolizes a main purpose of college, which is to meet new people.
The dorms themselves vary by the many Residence Halls that reside on the campus. However, each and every dorm has access to clean and healthy bathroom, WIFI, and areas that operate as tutoring sessions. With all classes on campus only 15 minutes apart, living on-campus allows you to both miss out on the headache of rushing to class warrants and the luxury of sleeping in late.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
Anywhere on campus, getting a bite to eat is within a short walking distance, and with classes only 15 min apart this can be a great help. In the University Center, the entire first floor has been devoted to food. There, the choices of dining range from fast food, with places such as Burger King, to coffee shops, with places such as Starbucks. Outside the University Center but still on-campus, many other restaurants can be found such as Einstein Bros., a noteworthy coffee shop and Subway. Also outside the Center, the Tiger Den resides where foods from many cultures are represented in an all-you-can-eat style of dining.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
Whether a full-time student or a part-time student, many campus sponsored activities (that range from cultural festivals to dances) are available to you during the entire semester-as long as you have your Student ID. Provided by the campus, as a student, you are able to utilize â??Plug into the Blue.â?? A free service, it reminds you of any and all activities that will be held on-campus during an entire semester. It is easy to sign up for and can be found on such social networks as Facebook and Twitter.

The â??Blue Lineâ?? transports around campus, near local markets such as Kroger and Walmart, and even to athletic events. Most importantly, a â??Blue Lineâ?? bus is guaranteed to pass by designated pick up stations every 7 minutes.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
During New Student Orientation, you are given an â??UMemphis Bucket-list,â?? which entails 100 experiences that were voted on by former students that must be done before one graduates. High-fiving the Internment Dean and snagging a selfie with Tom III, an actual lion who is the universityâ??s mascot, are among some of the many experiences on the Bucket List.

Available 24 hours a day/7 days a week, the campus PD are constantly roaming the campus. The university itself has established campus PD alert stations around the campus, which are thick poles that are activated by visible buttons whose purpose is to wail until a campus PD officer arrives.
