I can corroborate this. I’m a first year and one of my lab partners was living in a hotel until December! If you are accepted to Knoxville or are on the transfer list start looking for housing NOW. I was transferred to Knoxville in May but couldn’t drive to TN to look at housing until June and every apartment I looked at had a 6+ month waitlist!Yes housing is the biggest issue with Knoxville. My advice is if you are given a chance to switch to Knoxville before the end of April then try to switch. The closer to the start date the harder it’ll be to find housing at both campuses. We had students switch to Knoxville around May only not to find housing and scrambling to get switched back to Harrogate. Students had to stay at hotels during the first month b/c of this.
I recommend to be as stable as possible before starting classes. It’ll be hard enough w/o all that stuff. I think y’all will start mid to late July with orientation. Except for the anatomy boot campers, y’all start early July.
Good Luck everyone!!
