What do you brag about most when you tell your friends about University of Kentucky?

Aspen

How cool people are, the fact that we have the best men's basketball team in the nation, ummm the food, the fact that we have the best men's basketball team in the nation... Oh yeah, DRAKE. And Keeneland. Listen; horses and fashion. What more could you ask for?

Sarah

I brag about my professors, internship, and education. I worked throughout college while taking a full-time course load, so I am proud of myself for graduating on time with so many great learning experiences. UK provided me with a caring faculty who kept me motivated to succeed and stay involved.

Ryan

I brag about how my school has more alcoholic young people than any other campus in America. This is why I would like to transfer to Northern Kentucky University, because it's closer to home and I can no longer afford the University of Kentucky's tuition.

Matthew

My university has a historic background of successful college basketball teams, and usually that's what people would expect a student here to brag about the most. I have to disagree though. Not to take anything away from our basketball program (I am a diehard fan), but I brag the most about our engineering program. We have several spectacular professors who have done a lot of work in their field. They do an excellent job being involved with their students and raising our interests further into the engineering field.

Emily

First I brag about our basketball team because obviously in Lexington we our crazy about our basketball, but secondly I will brag about our library. It is the second largest college library and I think it is absolutely amazing. It has five floors with a basement perfect for studying in either groups or quiet areas. Also it has so many books on anything and everything you can imagine. Third thing I would brag about are the hospital and research facilities. Our hospital is one of the top hospitals in the country and our research is phenomal in almost every field.

Amy

The courses are challenging and the professors usually take interest in helping student on an indivdual basis.

Jessica

The University of Kentucky believes in giving people breaks. They by no means lose all standards and let anything go, but they are not rigid. Allowing borderline people a shot to prove themselves is a VERY admirable quality!

Gina

The amount of school pride University of Kentucky students and alumi have is incredible. I love that no matter where I travel, I end up meeting another UK fan or alumni. We wear our blue with pride and and absolutely love talking about our school or sports teams. The sense of community that all students and alumni share is awesome. Also, the entire campus and alumni network is incredibly friendly. I was pretty shy coming into college and now I feel so outgoing and am comfortable talking to anyone!

Alison

I brag about how I get to do internships to prepare me for graduation.

Rodney

When discussing the University of Kentucky (UK) with my friends, I enjoy boasting about our athletics and the Greek system. UK is a perennial college basketball power house that is always competing at a high level and our football program is in one of the most competitive conferences in the nation. The atmosphere at these sporting events is unparalleled and must be experienced by any collegiate sports fan. I also enjoy talking about my experiences as a member of a Fraternity, Sigma Chi. This organization improved my student abilities while also developing my leadership abilities.
