yeah, so what's your point?

From the Knoxville News Sentinel "Local News" section:

UT image: Frat, jock school with financial aid issues

The Princeton Review ranks the Knoxville campus of the University of Tennessee almost everyway you can think of. How do the publication's ranking stack up? Leave you comments below.

Some of these are unlikely to be on a UT T-shirt.
Princeton Review Rankings of UTK

Rank List

#19 Professors Make Themselves Scarce

#7 Students Dissatisfied with Financial Aid

#5 Teaching Assistants Teach Too Many Upper-Level Courses

#20 Their Students (Almost) Never Study Academics - do these people actually graduate?

#9 Alternative Lifestyles Not an Alternative

#9 Everyone Plays Intramural Sports - I watched an intramural game once. I think it was soccer.

#10 Students Pack the Stadiums - gotta support those hard working athletes.

#6 Major Frat and Sorority Scene - duh, we're in the south.

#16 Party Schools - back when I was a frosh, we acheived the #1 ranking in this category. Sad to see the decline in recent years. :P

#11 Campus Is Tiny, Unsightly, or Both - hey, we're working on it! UT is covering everything that is unsightly with nice, new concrete.

#6 Jock Schools - Go big orange!
