As a student, the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga is a great school in a great city, but since I have started attending I've noticed that they don't listen to their students. There are multiple accessibility issues I have seen, experienced and heard about since moving here and it's incredibly disappointing to hear that nothing is being done to fix them. 

UTC is known for their apartment-style dorms to make life as a college student easier, yet for some students they have allowed it to be so much harder. There is at least one dormitory with no proper ramp access or elevator where they have assigned housing to wheelchair-users. 

There is not a single ASL class available. There are ASL classes at the community college nearby, Chatt-State, but multiple students have had to fight with the help of faculty for it to be even accepted as a foreign language credit. 

The sidewalks on campus are not kept in good condition. There are parts where they are broken entirely and are never fixed, leading to problems with wheelchair-users as well as cane-users. 

Emotional support animals are allowed in dorms after being accepted by the student accessibility center, but documents are required to be submitted before a deadline despite the fact that anyone can be recommended by their therapist to get an ESA at any given moment. 

Hearing and experiencing these problems have piled up way too much for a university, and these issues should have been fixed a long time ago.
