DIRECTIONS TO UTC AND THE PSYCHOLOGY DEPARTMENT

Here is an overview map of the city and its major thoroughfares. This is a large 800 X 600 image and may take a moment to load. For more precise directions from your doorstep, use MapQuest.com using your home address as the "From" location and the following address as the "To" location:

615 McCallie Avenue
Chattanooga, TN 37403

Once you are in the Chattanooga area, follow the directions below.

If coming from Nashville or Birmingham (or Memphis) on I-24 ...

Just after I-24 skirts a 180 degree bend in the Tennessee river when approaching Chattanooga, take 27 North (Note: 27 is a state hwy, not an interstate, yet. It is the process of being changed to an interstate designation, so on some newer maps, it may be labeled I-124).

If coming from Knoxville or Atlanta on I-75 ...

Just north of the Georgia state line, take I-24 West towards Nashville. After several miles, take 27 North (Note: 27 is a state hwy, not an interstate, yet. It is the process of being changed to an interstate designation, so on some newer maps, it may be labeled I-124).

Either way, after you get on 27 North ...

Exit 27 at exit 1C (4th St.)

Stay on 4th St. across town and through several lights (it becomes a one-way street) until you see the UTC McKenzie Arena on your right. (The arena is a large, round, "aesthetically-challenged", gray building; you'll know it when you see it.)

Turn right at the intersection just beyond the arena. (The street is called Mabel, but is not marked at that intersection.)

About 1/4 block on Mabel, the road splits; take the left-hand choice. You are now on East 5th St.

Just after the split, there is a parking garage on your left. Park there unless there is parking available on the street further up (which is unlikely if classes are in session).

Walk on up East 5th St. There is a cemetery on your left, and a series of campus buildings on your right. The last building before a very large parking lot is Holt Hall. Holt is directly across from a large stone arch entrance to the cemetery. The Psychology Department is in Holt Hall, Third Floor, Room 350.

If you get lost, call Mike Biderman at (423)755-4268 or (423)755-4262.

Important note: If you are coming from the Central Time Zone, Chattanooga is (just barely) in the Eastern Time Zone. If you made an appointment, it is for an Eastern Time Zone time.

You put in your specifications and rent.net returns a listing of apartments that fit your requirements. Useful but definately not a complete listing.

Apartments.com is pretty much the same as rent.net but it may list apartments that the other doesn't. Therefore, it's best to check them both out to be thorough.
