University of Kentucky Top Questions

I wish I had known the course work required of me before I came. My high school didn't push me very hard and I would encourage students to take challenging courses. Get in the right mindset for a lot of work. College isn't a cakewalk and you should treat it thus.

I wish that I had known about the other libraries on campus besides the main one. Although the main library is very nice and impressive, it is so large that come exam time, it is very loud. The other, smaller lirbaries located throughout campus offer a quieter environment most of the time.

I wish I would have know some of my friends that I met while living in the dorms at school. I could have got to spend more time with them before they went off and did their own thing with their lives.

I wish that I would have opened up a lot more freshman year. I only hung out with those that I knew from high school and beyond. I also wish that I would have lived in the coed dorm instead of the all male.

Bring an umbrella.

I wish I had known how hard it would be for financial assistance and scholarships.

I knew that the University of Kentucky was trying to be in the top twenty schools, but what I didn't know is that there wasn't a clear path to do so. Some classes are extremely easy, then others are just too difficult. There does not seem to be a lot of organization when it comes to this matter.

I wish I would have known how to actually study because you can not do well at my school if you do not know how to properly study.

More about the professors, class sizes and the overall atmosphere.

I think that I was pretty prepared for the college experience. But the one thing I wish I had realized was the distance from home. It was hard for the first couple of weeks. But just remember you will find friends and it gets easier to be away from home and you find a certain kind of family away from home.
