<p>Hi all,</p>
<p>My youngest D has been accepted to UTChat for fall 2012. We've had a visit and really liked the campus and the city, and they offer the Anthropology degree she wants.</p>
<p>Does anyone have first hand experience with UTC? There isn't a dedicated thread, and I've found very little information on the boards. I'd love to hear about your experiences.</p>
<p>Thanks :)</p>
<p>I imagine it being the UT Martin of East Tennessee. Which is to say that it’s fine. Nothing special but a whole lot of people from the region make it their go-to campus if they don’t go UTK.</p>
<p>I don’t know anyone who actually graduated. Unfortunately, there is a high drop out rate. Not unusual for a directional campus, but gives me pause. I love the city, but have concerns about the school. I hear better things about Martin.</p>
<p>Yes, I noted the low-end graduation rate. I was happy to see that the UT system strategic plan for 2012 has made retention a high priority, as well as quality faculty. Everyone one we encountered on campus impressed me.</p>
<p>I should point out that my D is an average student. Unlike my first born, she’s perfectly happy with B’s & C’s. UTC had a good feel when we visited, if you know what I mean. I think it may be a viable choice for my not so academically driven D . . .</p>
