University of Kentucky Top Questions

That the tution is so high. I dont think it would be that bad if I seen where the tution was going but we still have to pay an outragous amount to park the dorms are horrible and old, the food is nasty.

The worst thing about my school is the lack of diversity and the lack of integration. There are pockets of diversity around campus but nothing that gets absorbed into the mainstream school. That is why it is so frustrating to meet people who seem so ignorant about the world and the happenings on the campus. It is alot of times reall racist as well.

The worst thing about this school is the highway-robbery for rent for off-campus housing that is in walkable distance to our campus. Rents are extremely high compared to the surrounding market of housing in Lexington Kentucky. For example, the house I rent with several other girls costs over $27,000 per year to rent. It is hard for a college student to pay these astronomical prices., but somehow because we love the University of Kentucky and all it stands for, we endure the hardship.

I would consider the tuition costs the worst thing about my school because I am an out of state student and though no school in my state offers my major, I must still pay out of state tuition because my state does not participate in any form of the Academic Common Market. This means I am paying a fair amount more than in-state students for the same education, which I deem to be somewhat unfair.

The worst thing about my school is the myriad book requirements for each class. On average, two to three books are required to be bought for each class with another two or so recommended purchases, amounting to about 150$ per class when bought new from a bookstore. Shopping for used books reduces the price by roughly half, but the text book cost is really high, especially when some professors never use the textbook and the tests are out of their notes and lectures. Many times the text books are wasted money.

I think the worst thing about the school would be that for some general classes, there are only large class lecture halls available, making it difficult to get personalized attention from the proffessor. However, there are many other options for outside help in the course.

I considered the worst thing is probably the price of tuition, because I'm barely able to have each semster paid for to attend.

My school does not have too many thing 'bad' about it, but I would say that it could be a little more diverse.

The worst thing about the University of Kentucky is that the dorms are getting a little out dated. I feel that if UK was able to put more money into more updated, modern dorms, then more people would be inclined to apply for housing on campus rather than moving into apartments or condos instead.

It is very large and you are pretty much looked at as a number, not a person. You float through the system as a numerical figure, my any professors could care less who you really are and just teach so they can do research or reap benefits through the university.
