On Campus Living Arrangements
UTC offers a variety of living arrangements to meet your needs: private bedrooms, shared bedrooms, apartment, or suite-style.
UTC also offers Living Learning Communities built around majors and courses of study. The UT-Chattanooga Army ROTC RLC is a new and unique opportunity to live with students sharing similar goals, aspirations, and schedules. You and your fellow cadets will share similar “rise & shine” schedules—up before 0600 for physical training several times a week; classes in military sciences; and a strong commitment to serve your community and country.
