Any food/restaurant recommendations or places to visit or see while I'm there? I will be flying out from CA and would love to know some "must see/do" activities. Also I love being outdoors so any pretty lakes ect.- Im hoping it will be a refreshing difference from the dry CA hills! I can't wait to visit! Hey! I live in Knoxville, and it is the most incredible city. You will love it! South College is about 20 minutes from downtown where there are so many yummy places to eat and fun activities - I would recommend checking out Market Square. The college is also only 5 minutes or so from Turkey Creek which is a huge shopping center and food place. As far as outdoor recs: Ijams has a beautiful quarry and some neat hiking trails! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MOO2018 Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Is it too late to apply? I was looking at all of the campuses and it seems like they are already accepting applicants even though the deadline is in March 2021. Also, is there a fee for the supplemental application?

It was my first interview so I was nervous but the staff and students were very supportive and super friendly. There were presentations and time to mingle and ask questions throughout the day. The interview portion was a group interview and they genuinely want to get to know you. They call you in individually at the end of the day to let you know if you're accepted. Waiting was the hardest part. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
