Tour campus
Knoxville will quickly become your home, sweet home. See the Great Smoky Mountains on the horizon and the Tennessee River just outside campus as you make your way to tour UT. On your visit, you’ll stroll past statues of our beloved mascot, see the iconic Ayres Hall, and hear famous campus legends (like how Vols shouldn’t step on the seal!).
You’ll find everything you need on our 920-acre campus. Vols have over 30 places to eat, several gym and rec facilities, and access to an on-campus Student Health Center.
