Favorite Thing About Memphis: The culture of Memphis! Great barbeque, tremendous musical contributions (Elvis’
rock ‘n Roll and BB King’s blues), the Mississippi Delta influence, southern hospitality
and much history all provide Memphis with a distinctive charm. My favorite place in
the city is the rooftop of the Peabody Hotel.
Favorite Thing About the University of Memphis: The administrators at the University of Memphis take a genuine interest in students’
lives—making students feel like they can contribute much to the University. The train
on the edge of campus adds something different to the University experience. The University
is situated in a beautiful area of Memphis—a mostly residential neighborhood with
many trees and in close proximity to many favorite locales.

and FUN!
Favorite Thing About the University of Memphis: The architecture and landscaping! Flowers, trees, and lawns are absolutely gorgeous

and you would never know you were in a major metropolitan area.
