The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga is a mid-sized institution on the banks of the Tennessee River. The university is widely known for its highly-ranked business program, and offers some of the best academic opportunities in the region across the board.

The UTC campus is a major fixture in downtown Chattanooga, just a couple of blocks from the popular Market Street and featuring major local attractions like McKenzie Arena and the Cress Gallery of Art. The area surrounding the campus is full of great local hotspots well worth checking out in your down time: grab a pint at Hutton & Smith Brewing Company, check out the dazzling marine life at the Tennessee Aquarium, hang out with local creators at the Bluff View Art District, or enjoy a late-night breakfast at City Café Diner.

Best of all, the area is peppered with excellent apartments, houses, and condos within easy walking distance of both the university campus and any of the nearby attractions, allowing you to find the perfect spot to fit your lifestyle and your budget.
