I will be moving to Knoxville to attend UT as a grad student this August. My studies will be quite intense and I'm thinking of selling my car, living right near campus and biking where necessary. I'm looking for advice re: whether anybody has heard of these complexes that I have already identified. I currently live in Oregon and would like to line a up a place to live before coming over here. I am aware of the warnings re: crime in the Fort. However, I'm fairly street smart. I plan to bike to campus and generally not take part in the ruckus. Here are the complexes: 16th Place Apartments, 1543 Highland Ave Barclay House, 161 Laurel Ave Highland Terrace, 1319 Highland Avenue If anybody has general advice about living in the area, I'm all ears. I still have my car, so it's not too late to re-consider keeping it and living in a different part of town. With the Publix opening up and the campus so close, though, I don't see much of a reason to.
If other MS Analytics enrollees read this, please contact me, too. Thanks for the advice!
