Residential Life

Students have the opportunity to live the scientific life in a community designed to inspire them to think differently and deeply about the world, while still providing the comfort and safety of a home environment.

Students live and learn in two cottages on the campus of the Tennessee School for the Deaf, in the Island Home neighborhood of Knoxville on the banks of the Tennessee River. Each of two cottages, one for boys and one for girls, houses twelve students. Students live in double-occupancy rooms, furnished with standard beds, desks and dressers.

TGA cottages are fully equipped with Internet connections – both wired and wireless – to allow students to move freely around the cottage as they work. Common space in both cottages will serve as both classroom and living room, places where students can always find interaction.
