Hey Sawtooth, Thanks for creating this page! I've been looking for a way to connect with more incoming grad students. I'll be starting my MFA in creative writing at UTK this fall. Like you, I'm really excited to begin - UTK was my top choice program, and I am still a tiny bit in shock that I'll have the opportunity to learn from the amazing writers on their faculty! Still looking at housing options as well. Things seem to be filling up fast with undergrads, but I'm hoping to find a place that's geared more toward young professionals, grads, and families. I'm from Arkansas. Where in the northeast are you coming from? Also, congratulations on getting accepted for your PhD!!

Hello! I'll be moving to Knoxville to begin a master's program at UT in August and would love some tips on where to look for a good apartment. South Knox I've heard is good. Are there certain property management companies to avoid? I'm looking for a place that will be decently close to the city's cultural hubs, yet also someplace that I'll feel safe walking around at night. Where do I start?
