About Student Housing in Chattanooga
Chattanooga, Tennessee is a mid-size river city wrapped in mountains, and it's home to the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, a campus of roughly 11,000 students just east of downtown. The Tennessee River runs through the middle of it all, with the 13-mile Riverwalk and the pedestrian-only Walnut Street Bridge linking downtown to the Northshore. Student life draws on UTC and the broader downtown scene, where the Tennessee Aquarium, riverfront parks, and a steady run of festivals keep things busy. Walkable historic districts like Fortwood and Southside sit close to campus, while Coolidge Park and the surrounding ridges and trails give you outdoor escapes minutes from class.
