University of Kentucky Top Questions

In high school, help finds you. In college, you need to ask for help.

I wish I had known that the campus social life was dominated by the greek system. If you're not in a fraternity or sorority most people don't give you the time of day.

The only thing I can think of is; I wish I knew how cold it gets. Being a southern state, I asumed Kentucky stayed a little warmer in the winter. Apparently, I was wrong. But despite the cold, wet winters, the school itself makes up for it.

There isn't really anything I wished I had known before coming to Univeristy of Kentucky. This is probably because I went on a campus tour and attended information sessions that are provided during K Week. I highly recommend new students, as well as returning students, to attend K Week events which give academic advice and allows social interaction before and during the first few days of fall and spring semester.

That the classes were so large.

I wish I would have known more about professors-which ones are good to have and which ones aren't. I also wish I would have known how difficult it was going to be to pay for tuiton as an out-of-state student.

That much of the social life surrounded Greek life. If not involved in Greek life, get involved in other activities early on

I knew everything I needed to know, however I was not aware of the extent of the academic demands. Nor was I aware of the extent of how hard it would be to adjust from living at home to living on my own in a new environment. Basically, I just wish I knew how demanding the change would be and how I could've handled my first semester in college in a better, more productive manner.

I feel that I was adequately prepared for attending this University and that there is nothing I felt I particularly struggled with.

How big of an emphasis EVERY school places on Greek life.
