The "University of No Opportunity" as it has been referred to by certain folks gets a worse reputation than it deserves. First off, honesty. UNO is not a school to go to if you want the typical college experience (social life, campus life, etc.). It is almost non-existant here. People are at UNO to get their degrees and get the hell out. 95% of them are from Omaha or the surrounding area. Most students at UNO stick to their high school cliques and groups, so if you are from outside of the area it is very hard to meet friends because of that, the almost non-existant campus life and social life. UNO has a cold feeling when on campus. You sense most of the students are bitter because they are going there or just dislike school and want to get it done with ASAP. The classes aren't terrible or terrific. Most are probably at a college prepartory level or maybe a little bit higher. Almost no one lives on campus, so finding campus life is harder than hell. School spirit is no where to be found. Most students are commuters or older adults going back to get a degree or a second degree. If you want to go to a school in Nebraska and want the college experience, check out Lincoln. If you want to go to school in Nebraska and want the degree minus the frills of college, check out UNO.
