University of Nebraska-Lincoln Top Questions

UNL is just the right size. I love that I am able to meet new students every semester and also be able to develop close relationships with the faculty. I spend my time about equally on campus and our downtown area. Lincoln's downtown area is great because it offers movie theaters, restaurants, bars, ice cream parlors, smoothie shops, and great clothing vendors. I love football Saturdays. The excitement on college game day is like nothing else I have experiences. Fans are kind to the opposing team and there is a welcoming of outsiders to Lincoln. Most schools show disrespect to fans of the opposing team, but not here in Lincoln. We pride ourselves in having and showing great sportsmanship to the fans and teams we play.

Frequent students complaints are that school is too expensive. There is a lot of school pride. This is a big sports university.

The best thing about UNL is the people. It is just the right size. I spend a lot of my time at my sorority or at coffee shops surroudning campus. I don't think that its a college town. THe administration is... an administration, enough said. The biggest recent controversy on campus is the moving of the student section. The Athletic Department moved the student section to a horrible spot. There is a ton of school pride, both students and the entire state contriute to this.

The best thing about UNL is the atmosphere. It is right in the heart of lincoln and you are in walking distance to great restaurants and the movie theatre. In addition it is just the right size with a few large classes but also many smaller ones.

To be completely honest I'm not the biggest fan of UNL mainly because I am a full time student who is trying to make ends meet with a part time job. A lot of college students are in this same situation but I think our situations would be easier if UNL could become less of a "traditional school" as they proudly prounounce. The other thing is that UNL has an enormous amount of school pride. Sometimes a little too much but who can blame them when we're the school of the Huskers.

The people more one on one help its kinda big for me i always get a good reaction union yes dont have one that game of tag with fake guns no it doesnt seem like students make friends with each other i went to a smaller school and the classes had about 20-25 a class and i remember all of my classes everyone knew each other and talked, here eveyone seems to keep to themselves the first day of my first semester....i was so lost PARKING SUCKS SO BAD! and its so damn expensive

I think the best thing about UNL is our team spirit. You come to campus and know that no matter where you come from, you can't help but catch the Husker pride. It also seems that although we are very proud in our teams at the University, we also show respect for opposing teams. Which I have not witnessed in other states. Sometimes it seems like the athletic program gets too much attention which is one thing I would change. Also, tuition seems to be increasing more and more each year and it is leaving some students unhappy.Although the campus is large, I still feel like it is a smaller campus because I always can find a familiar face in a crowd. When I tell people I go to UNL, they usually ask how I like it. I tell them I have gotten an education I am proud of. The classes are challenging and there is a wide variety of classes to take. I spend most of the time on campus in my apartment in Husker Village. By meeting so many people that live on my floor, we have become like a small community which makes for some fun times. Lincoln is a college town, there is no getting around it with 4 colleges here. Despite the college feel, it is also a community that feels like a small town.I think it is interesting that we have the largest dorm on campus (Abel). When I first visited the dorm it felt like it was a mile long, but I quickly took notice of the openness of it. People would be hanging out in one room, doing homework with each other in another. By having that sort of feeling it was like if you had any problems you could always find someone to relate to. Being apart of Scarlet and Cream has been one experience that I will always remember. Especially performing before game days at the Champion's Club.

The atmosphere at UNL is great. The thing that I like the most is the amount of support that is offered to me. There are tons of great resources on campus that can satisfy any of my needs and wants. Also, the Lincoln community is very supportive of UNL students, whether it be through offering discounts at local businesses or partnering with the colleges to offer internships or jobs. School pride here is very strong...people proudly wear Husker red! Parking is probably the biggest student complaint; it's kind of expensive and not always convenient, but they are working on getting more available spaces.

The best thing about UNL is Husker athletics and the coaching endorsement program. The transfer student program for education majors is so strict!!! I lost 19 credit hours because they have their own classses you HAVE to take. If you are looking to be a English major than GO TO CLASS!!! And if you go to class and do the homework you will get an A. If you are a retard like some of my friends and decent at math than major in Finance, easiest major in the world at UNL.

One experience I will remember from UNL is the opportunity I had to work with and meet so many great and talented people. This ranges from the cheer squad I was on to the residents on my floor.
