Being an out of state student, I really didn't think UNL was worth the price of admission. The campus is pretty clean and all, but outside of football there is little to do and not many opportunities. That's all students can talk about, so if you aren't a fan of the team or the sport, you feel stuck because they don't stop talking about it even in the off-season. The students are fairly nice, but pretty closed-minded with their only really cares football and alcohol. Lincoln is a decent college town, but gets pretty boring. About the only other decent place within driving distance is Omaha, which is about the same as Lincoln but a tad bigger and a few more bars and restaurants. Outside of that, nothing but corn fields and farms for as far as the eye can see. Classes weren't anything groundbreaking or overly challenging. Professors seem helpful while at the same time reminding you how great they think they are. It's just not my favorite place. I'm looking at Colorado or Arizona as where I'll transfer to. If I'm going to pay a huge amount of money, I want more to do than drink and watch football.

A good school and though I knew a few people coming in, I have met a lot more kids and most of them have become my friends.

The classes are tougher than I would have thought, but in the end that will probably be beneficial.

The school spirit is pretty high but is obviously centered around football. After football season very few people care about the other sports, which kind of sucks if you are a basketball or baseball fan.

Either way this is a good school and I feel like I am definitely getting a good education.

Horrible experience. The staff admissions, financial aid, professors are awful, you're pretty much on your own for figuring everything out and THE FINANCIAL AID OFFICE AND STAFF ARE THE MOST UNHELPFUL AND ARROGANT PEOPLE, it took too much effort to just get a few simple questions answered. The professors were distant and self-absorbed and more into their research than teaching, a lot of people in my classes were doing horrible. The dorms were clean and was probably the only decent experience about the school, except I got somehow stuck in the international dorms so I was surrounded by no one I could relate to. Lots of frats and sororities, stupid kids who just want to go bar hopping and are concerned with husker football.

I quickly transfered out of there, waste of $15,000 for one semester.
Campus Maintenance: A-, Scholastic Success: F
