Avoid this school at all costs! Professors are leaving as quickly as they can due to the prevalence of nasty politics at this school (especially in humanities departments); it has dropped substantially in college rankings over the past few years, also. Within my department, the faculty resent being here and feel they should be at a 'better' university. This attitude is transferred onto students. In my unfortunate time at this school, I have seen several graduate students chased away because of departmental politics. Overall, it is a depressing, horrible environment-- I cannot stress this enough: stay away! May 11 2006 History/Histories (art history/etc.)

In short, if you're interested in studying Humanities, stay away! The faculty here are certainly well-published and intelligent, but have a acquired a deserved reputation for being hateful, especially to their graduate students. The majority have degrees from Ivy League schools and are bitter that they are at UK. In turn, they take this out on their graduate students; they go out of their way to make sure we know that we are 'second-rate' students at a 'second-rate' school. This attitude translates into very little support within the department for your research or job goals. Further, the department does not provide support for its PhDs beyond TAs. You will not be able to get the real teaching experience you need to be competitive in today's market. Mar 01 2005 History/Histories (art history/etc.)
