UK has a really nice, beautiful campus and we get all 4 seasons. And the city around campus is really nice, too. There's lots of trees and grass and flowers, but also lots of shopping areas. It's really nice.

There is a very strong sense of community and school spirit here at the University of Kentucky. We take great pride in our basketball program and our alumni also has very strong ties to the university. Graduating from UK does not mean leaving it behind for most alumni, they continue to finacially support the school and athletics department. Also, UK is devoted to becoming a top research college and doing everything in our power to achieve a top 20 status.

The University of Kentucky is unique because it is the Big Blue Nation. School spirit is something that every student at UK possesses and flaunts as much as possible. Mostly this is due to Kentucky Basketball, which is the arguably the most loved basketball program in the nation. The love for the school and this program is something that can’t be explained because it is something so extraordinary. It is literally impossible for a student to attend UK and not be a diehard wildcat fan before their departure.

What is most unique about my school is how everyone comes together as a group to support our sports teams and each other, everyone at my school is very nice and welcoming, if you need help with anything you are able to ask someone who is walking past you and they will stop to help you. something else others didn't know about the University of Kentucky is that we have the best fans in the enitre world..

When i toured UK's campus, it seemed very friendly. Students walked by out tour group and smiled and said hello. This just seemed like the campus i wanted to be at. All the other campuses were not as friendly. I felt like i fit in here better than other campuses.

The thing that stood out to me the most about UK was the William C. Schlorship. It was the only school in Kentucky that was close to home but also far enough, that provided a way for me to pay for school. It was like having my cake and eating it too.

The campus is much like its own community, and I didn't get that feeling on other campus's.

University of Kentucky is a very welcoming school. All the staff and older students go out of their way to make sure that incoming students get involved, so they dont get lost in the huge campus. The teachers make sure that help is always available if you are struggling in class, there is so many programs available to help you achieve the grade you want in every class.

One unique characteristic about the University of Kentuckyy is that the city of Lexington revolves around the university. UK is very active in the surrounding communities with community service and businesses. Politicians often want to know where the university and its students stand for major decisions.
