University of Memphis Reviews
their office for student resources was so helpful with answering all my questions! happy to be attending in the fall! if you’re unsure of some things while applying, questions about federal aid, acceptance of grants/scholarships, they will take their time to make sure you understand everything. I called the other day to make sure I was accepting the correct awards that I was awarded along side my student aid, they laid it all out for me, gave me advice and really catered to me!
I enjoyed my time at the University of Memphis! I graduated with a business degree. Most of my professors were very helpful, always making time when I needed extra help. I stayed in the dorms my freshman and sophomore years and I always encourage incoming freshman to live in the dorms at least one year. It has its ups and downs, but that experience is invaluable – you’re forced to step out of your comfort zone for sure.
