University of Louisville Top Questions

I enjoy this school because it is close to my family.

Hi I am Malik Dorsey, I have attended the University of Louisville for one year at the end of April, thus far I have had a year of a lifetime. I have experienced I believe to be the best year of my educational career. I have enjoyed my classes, and the experiences that I have had. I am majoring in music for now, but I have experienced an array of other classes to maybe give me other opportunities to maybe venture into other areas, or even explore other careers that I may be interested in. They have so much to offer here. If anyone decides to come and visit, I believe you will be amazed at the opportunities that are here.

My opinion? Not that great of a university considering how expensive tuition is. If you want a Kentucky public university, you'll get considerably more bang for your buck at Murray State, which in my objective opinion is the only academically strong public university at the state. Now, if you want to go into engineering, medicine, or entrepreneurship, Louisville is the best in the state.

I love the University of Louisville. The people here are great, and it was easy to assimilate myself into the community. It easily felt like home. I love how many different organizations there are to be a part of. There's traditional activities like athletics and Greek, but also many different groups like religious, language, and literature groups.

The University of Louisville is a great college to attend. Before going to UofL, I had many offers from other colleges, but something unique made me choose Louisville. Here, it is simple to get involved and get advice. I feel like I am close to many faculty members and academic advisers. There is also never a shortage of things to do. Located in Louisville, Ky, UofL lets you experience so many different cultures. It's really amazing to see all that the city has to offer. Also, UofL is a big college, but the campus size makes it feel just right!

I absolutely love the University of Louisville. I have taken very interesting classes with teachers who really care. I have met with professors several times outside of class and they are always willing to help, whether it be with coursework or something else. I also thought college classes would be intimidating, but when I came to UofL, I had professors that were welcoming and inviting. Also, there is something here for everyone, so it is really easy to get involved and find your niche. Outside of school, I love the area. Louisville is artsy and there is so much to do around campus! There are all kinds of local shops and restaurants exclusive to the area.

My absolute favorite thing about Louisville is that it is a big school with a small student feel. Because it is a commuter campus, the people that do live on campus are people that you see regularly. The 5,000 or so freshmen/newcomers that live on campus are actually just a fraction of the overall population of the school. I love not feeling lost amongst the crowd. Louisville is definitely a college town, and definitely a sports' minded town, although there are PLENTY of other hobbies/activities/etc. I was an athlete here on campus (just finished my senior year), but I also enjoy going to plays and museums near and/or on campus. Most of my time ON campus is spent in the Student Activities Center (or the SAC), or the library. I have not had any qualms with school faculty or administration. My experience is that if you are up front and honest, people tend to respect any problems or issues you may have (trust me, this tends to be applicable in ALL aspects of life, not just at Louisville). And as with any college, the biggest concern I have had is theft. Even though I have not heard of it too often, I do know that if people fail to lock their doors or protect their belongings there is always someone willing to cross the line for a few extra bucks. When I decided to finish my schooling at the University of Louisville, I expected people to live and die by the whole "bleed red" slogan. However, I have learned a very odd lesson in the midst of it. If you go to Louisville but are a UK fan, you tend to me "more acceptable." If situations are reversed, and you are a Louisville fan on the UK campus, be prepared for merciless harrassment. Personally, I support anything Louisville and am not at all ashamed of it.

University of Louisville is fantastic. It's challenging, insightful, diverse, and prepares you for the workforce. The only thing I would change would be the class size of the general education classes, but having so many people on campus really gives you a chance to experience college life, especially with the amount of campus activities, protests, and on campus living there is. Louisville itself is a great college town, with many independent stores to mark it as a unique city onto itself. LGBT lifestyles are extremely accepted on campus, and commuters are welcomed. There is a huge amount of school pride, especially when it comes to University of Louisville versus University of Kentucky. Everyone wears the red and black when it's game day.

The best thing about UofL is that there is always something to do! There a hundreds of clubs and student organizations, there are tons of free events, and if you look hard enough you can find free food almost everyday! The one thing I change about UofL, It would have to be the amount of interaction between students. Because it is such a large school in a big city, the school has a lot of commuters, people who have lived in Louisville their whole lives. So it's hard for people to branch out when they still live close to all there friends from high school. I spend most of my time in the library either studying, searching for things online, or eating in the library's Heine Brothers.Louisville isn't a college town, there are so many things Louisville has to offer other than the university! I will say one thing, it'll be hard to go anywhere in Louisville and not see UofL shirts on people and stickers on cars. I would say the only real downside about Uofl is safety. But if you stay smart and use basic things your parents tell you when you're litte (like don't walk around late at night alone) you'll be fine.
