Also can someone recommend some of the better places to live off campus? How are the commons? My price range is anywhere from 500-900 per room

The Woodlands area behind UT medical center is decent, but you're driving to and from campus if you're out there. There's a lot of new apartments going in on the strip/Cumberland avenue as well that's central to everything. I personally lived in Vol Hall and it's technically on-campus but it doesn't feel like it. Used to be a hotel that they converted into apartments. Being close to the strip gets you easy access to campus and all of the bars, etc. I loved my time there, it's a special place. Links below to some of the newer apartments and vol Hall

Craigslist can be a pretty solid resource. If you have friends to room with you can easily find an apartment in the fort that wouldn't be too pricey. When I was in school I lived in houses around the fort, but I was trying to live off like $500/month. I imagine you'd be able to get a 1 br apartment in the fort for 700-900.

I currently live in N Knox near 4th and Gill, it's walking distance to a lot of bars/breweries and Old City. I love it but it'd be driving distance to campus.

I'd get a 6 month lease to start out that way if you meet people and you want to room together you aren't locked in for a year. This is just my opinion but a good spot to look is the 1BR condos off of Lyons View called Westcliffe condos or Westcliffe at Cherokee. A 1 br should go for 600-700 a month. There are also some one bedrooms in Sequoyah Hills called Sequoyah Sqaure or Taliwani that should be in your price range and still close to campus.

Whatever you do get a minor in business that way if you want to go back and get your MBA, you won't have to take any pre reqs. With your military background, have you considered looking into the logistics program, at UT?
