Although, the city may sometimes seem culturally seperated by the different districts or counties, the school brings everyone together in a peacefull, organized way where we all get along as one.

Tijuana

The University of Memphis is best known for its Basketball and Football Programs. Although our athletics program is known nation wide, academics are as equally important. I believe that the university also has a no pass, no play policy put in place in order to maintain a balance between the athletic program and the students academic performance.

My advice would be to understand that this might be your only opportunity to get it right, so do it right the first time. Don't wast time, because time is precious and time is money. The longer you take to finish school, the more money you will either have to pay or owe. Don't just concentrate on the education part, get experience also. Work an internship in your field of study, because jobs look for both. Don't be afraid to ask for help, utilize your Career Services, Alumni, etc.
