One of the greatest influences on a residential student's attitude is the quality of the relationship with his or her roommate.

Weekends are busy times for residential students. Local communities offer a variety of shopping malls, movie theaters, festivals and plays. Students can also enjoy the natural beauty of the Smoky Mountains.
