I LOVE this school. The atmosphere is awesome, def has that midwestern feel. I would not go anywhere else. The school is very focused on the students. Facilities are either new or recently remodeled or in the process of beign remodeled. Resources are bountiful, campus is not spread out like other schools, you can walk anywhere within ten minutes. The dining halls even cook Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners for students, oh and for dead week they do all kids of things for you. Free stress relief things like massages, video game tournaments, treats like donuts and candy. Also, the fan base from students is awesome. Alot of diversity in the student group, lots of people from all over the country as well as people from many different countries.
Innovation: A+, Useful Schoolwork: B

If you have the chance to going into th sciences, than do not chose UNL... you're a fish in the sea ... plus you're treated like a "high school" student... not an adult.

Super Brilliant
As a freshman physics major, I have been very impressed with UNL. The physics department is not enormous, but it is large enough to be very strong and does important research. As a whole, UNL is a friendly place, but there are many activities to do in the Lincoln area if you are interested. The Lied Center provides some cultural entertainment. Most of the students are either here to drink or to study. There is a big difference between these two types. As a large university, it is able to contain both types well.

As many of the comments I have read have mentioned that the only thing to do at UNL is drink and watch football. This is extremely accurate. When I first got to college I became an acoholic because that was the only social activity available in Lincoln. Many try to pass off the atmosphere at UNL as friendly but as many that go here know professors, administrators, and staff are extremely arrogant and rude. A majority of people (including students) at UNL have no common courtesy or common sense. I recently was charged $25 for turning in a study room 5 minutes late in the summer when there was no one else using the other study rooms. When I tried to talk to the librarians about how rediculous this fine was they became very rude and talked down their noses at me. Many of the professors treat students in much the same way. If you do not immediatly understand the material they trat you as if you are stupid. I met a grad student that teaches here and she told me that they are told that 70% of their time at work needs to be spent on research and only 30% spent teaching. She also recently got in trouble for being to easy on her students when about 80% of her students got a grade of B or better. She was told that there should not be over 50% of her students with a grade of C or better. You are not taught in an effective manor when at UNL. A large majority of the curriculum is memorization and regurgitation so a student doesn't truely learn the material. This would be a great school to go to for grad students because of the leading edge research that goes on here. But undergrads are just a number and their education isn't important to this undiversity. You pay way too much money for what you get out of the education here. There is not enough student houseing. Just this last year 150-200 freshman students were put in temporary housing, which consisted of a few makeshift walls and painting over many large windows to give these students a small amount of privacy. When living on campus housing you are treated like a child and your every move is watched. The rooms are very small and, again, you pay too much to live on campus. The food on compus is dismal and there is no variety in choices. If I had to do it all over again I wouldn't have gone to UNL. Unfortunatly I only have to semesters left until I graduate and then I plan on attending grad school, SOMEWHERE ELSE!!! Overall I'd have to give UNL a grade of D-
