University of Nebraska-Lincoln Top Questions

I haven't heard any conversations of students talking about how much they will earn someday. Student body has both socialites and introverts. Few are bitchy, but many are polite and outgoing. Regardless, the UNL student body is HUGE.

The student body is wide and varied. There is a very diverse mix of people.

There is a huge variety in social and racial backgrounds which I think makes UNL unique. The only complaint I have is that in at least one class every semester I have to deal with a student who comes into class drunk and dissrupts everyone around them.

i have been to some LGBT events i dont know no not really i noticed alot of groups members stick together na na middle class some are conservitive mostly has been my experience yah all the time

I am a mentor for a program called NU Connections which is centered around students of color. Not only that, but the religious groups available on campus is a great number. Also we have an excellent group for LGBT people and supporters. I don't think any student would feel out of place at UNL. There is not a lot but quite a bit of diversity. Most students dress very casually to class, comfortable. Most UNL students are from Nebraska or surrounding states. We also have a foreign exchange program that brings in students from all over the World. I think middle class families are what most students come from.

There are more than 400 student clubs and organizations at UNL, so there truly is something for everyone. Also, our student government and University Program Council are very active and pay close attention to the needs and wants of the students. UNL is a fairly diverse campus in all different aspects. There are numerous cultures represented; people from all over the state, country, and world. There are all kinds of people who bring very different backgrounds and experiences to our campus.

Awesome! Anything and everything you can think of is here.

Diversity on campus and students attitudes towards diversity on campus may be one of just a few pitfalls of UNL. It is difficult to separate UNL and the surrounding Lincoln area because it definitely blends. UNL is a great environment and while it's not liberal, it is definitely more liberal than the town it is in. I cannot speak from personal experience in this category because I am a "typical" student here, but I can imagine that there are students that face problems here on campus due to intolerance of different lifestyles and different backgrounds. I think that UNL is definitely making very small steps to change this but it only has influence on campus and I think that Lincoln in general may have a lot more to do.

I have never had any experiences with UNL groups like these, but there have been a lot of outside radical religious groups/speakers on campus. I just ignore them for the most part. I don't know if anyone would really feel out of place at UNL, but it's hard for me to say because every single person is different. Most students wear anything from jeans to athletic pants and t-shirts to hoodies to class. Some dress up more than others, but most are very laid back. All types of students interact with each other. Most UNL students are from Nebraska, but there are a lot of others as well. Students are mostly from middle class backgrounds. Students are very politically active. There are students from all sides, but a lot are middle to left. I hear a little talk about how much students hope to earn one day.

-I think the student that would feel most comfortable at UNL would be a white student raised in a small town. It's sad but true. -Most students wear either sweats or jeans and a nice shirt. -The vast majority of students are middle class. It's in the Greek houses where you can find wealthier students.
