The most popular students groups is probably Greek Life. I am involved in Greek Life and definitely enjoy it. I met some of my closest friends through Greek life. Plus, it got my involved on campus the second I got here which made coming to a big campus much easier. It was nice seeing a face I recognized while walking to class the first day. There is always something to do within the Greek life organization. It keeps you very busy, but doesn't interfere with school.

Student Activities Board, Christian Student Fellowship, and Greek Life are just a few of the groups that first come to mind.

HOnestly, I have drank every Saturday in college probably. My friends are all Greek. We all tailgate and never miss a football game.

There are specials every night of the week at bars and usually there's plenty of people there. It is very easy to party too much at the beginning of your career, but at the same time if you konw how to budget your time its always nice to have the options open.
Greek life is huge, but even if you don't belong to a sorority (i didn't), it's easy to get involved in the greek activities.
Athletic events are the best part about UK, football games are a blast on saturdays in the fall when you can tailgate. And basketball is god at UK so there's always a ton of people waitin' in line to get in and overall having a BLAST!

Greeks are the most popular of everything on campus. Some students leave their doors open at the dorms till they get robbed then they tend to close them. Athletic events are the most popular thing on campus, anything is not even noted normally. haha, the dating scene? Well the Christians date all the time, everyone else enjoys the one night stands. Close friends are through involvement and classes. 2am on a Tuesday at UK means your drinking or hooking up with someone. Sports. Tailgating happens every year and it is prized... Students generally party 7 days a week. There is very rarely not a party happening in fact. Saturday night that doesn't involve drinking? I guess you could sleep... Off campus? Folks generally go to bars. The bars and parties are extremely segragated also, just to give you a heads up.

The first thing that comes to mind, besides basketball, when I think of social life is Tolly Ho. You are not a true UK student if you've never experienced Tolly Ho. Then there's of course the culturally diverse downtown bars like McCarthy's, Rosebuds, and The Dame (which they are tearing down to build a silly hotel...don't get me started!) Thursdays are good for Saddle Ridge or Main St. Live. There is always a bar to go to every night of the week, including trivia nights at the Fishtank, Mellow Mushroom, and Campus Pub. Food favorites include Pazzo's, Mad Mushroom, Qdoba, Jimmy John's, and the list goes on! Keeneland should not be overlooked as it is just as much tradition as UK basketball. The tailgating resembles that of football season, only you get to bet on horses and wear your Sunday's best!

My two main passions at UK was Football and Men's Basketball. I had a great time with my friends tailgating before football games and cheering on the Cats. I also enjoyed going to other sporting events throughout the year like volleyball, baseball and soccer.

Pretty sweet. Though the dry campus cuts down on some fun and may increase safety hazards
