“I attended the University of Tennessee for undergrad, so when I initially began looking at law schools I thought I should leave Knoxville. After considering all the pros of the University of Tennessee College of Law, however, I decided to stay in Tennessee to pursue my JD. Now, as I look back over the past three years, I know that continuing my education at UT was one of the best decisions I ever made.
The atmosphere at the UT College of Law is welcoming and encouraging. The law school is like a small community, with each person playing an important role. The professors, administrators, and support staff here are constantly doing everything they can to make sure students get the most out of their legal education. Students are supportive of each other and truly enjoy seeing their classmates thrive. I was pleasantly surprised by how collegial the student body here was. I feel privileged to have studied at the University of Tennessee College of Law beside my classmates for the past three years, and I cannot imagine have a better legal education experience.”
