University of Kentucky Top Questions

I wish I had known completely about the student loan situation, because the finantial aid people are not very clear about what needs to be done and what has been done in order to pay for the college.

The extent of the engineering program

I was born and raised in Southern California, and coming to the University of Kentucky was one of the biggest obstacles I have had to overcome in my life so far. Moving to a completely different state and not knowing anyone, is by far the most uneasy feeling, but I got myself involved in many organizations around campus to start making new friends. The one thing I wish I would have known before coming was how hard it was going to be to leave my family and friends back home, but I would not trade this opportunity for anything.

How racist and segregated the school is. I come from a very diverse background and I was shocked when I came here and found out it was nothing like the picture they painted.

No because I have been very successful at this school, i am focused and on time to every class. And when i go out on the weekend i do not loose the real reason why i am at school. So i always make sure i dont do anything that can affect my studies.

I wish I had known that most of the city was closer to north campus than to south campus. Most of the restaurants and places not connected to the university to hang out are north of campus. If I had known that, and that the walk across campus was thirty minutes, I probably would've applied for north campus living. The long walk across campus also affected my travel to class. I love sleeping in so having to wake up early so I could leave for class at the latest thirty minutes before class cut back on that a bit.

I wish I had known more about all the programs offered to help freshmen transition into college life. I had a small idea of what K-Week, the first week on campus, had to offer, but I had no idea that I could join a group who would give a free meal each week and allow opportunities to meet other freshmen.

I wish I would have known how much more time consuming the studying is.

I wish I would have known how big sorority and fraternity life is here.

I wish I would of known about all of the clubs that surround the campus. I think that University Clubs are vital in a students enjoyment at their school. Once I arrived I was able to decide which clubs I wanted to join, but if I would have known before hand, my college choice may of been easier.
