"The University of Nebraska - Lincoln provided me with an opportunity that I truly believe cannot be found anywhere else. UNL helped me to meet, join, collaborate, question, respect, and love people with views similar and vastly different from my own. At the University of Nebraska, I always felt that I was held to a high standard and that the students who I was surrounded by challenged me to become a better version of myself. I was provided with experiences that gave me leadership opportunities and helped me to travel the country. I was tested fairly and given every resource necessary for a well rounded education. UNL set me up for success. The faculty and staff in my undergraduate program did everything they could to ensure my best possible chance for a future that I could only dream of. They facilitated an education that opened my mind and released my inner drive. It is with a combination of UNL's guidance, family support, and my own inner goals, that I was accepted to the graduate school of dreams. I thank the University of Nebraska - Lincoln for everything, and I support their mission and promise for excellence with boundless loyalty."

"I love my law school experience. What I didn't love was graduating and realizing just how saturated the legal market is. I feel that if I ever manage to secure employment, I'll be severely underpaid."

"I attended the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and loved every moment of it! As a freshman I struggled with all this change I was going through. I was not used to being on my own and having to push myself. After a year of trying to figure myself out and who I wanted to be I took advantage of all the programs that the University offered to make sure I kept my grades up and graduated. From being able to meet with professors to having help from my adviser I was able to get back on track and graduate with a degree.The classes I took and internships I was able to be part of really helped me to be prepared for a career working with youth and serving the community. I am working on my Master's degree now to further my education and challenge myself and to grow as a young professional."

"I am a current student and when I first came to this university everything was great. The atmosphere around campus was great and everyone loved it. As of the past few years, the university has become a bit delusional. They have tried taking the fun out of everything and have become quite ridiculous. They have cracked down hard on greek life and the football gameday experience. They seem to spend more time trying to kick greek life off campus and get kids in trouble than they do simply trying to make this campus better. I am not involved with this greek life, but would just love if the university would lay off a bit and just let kids be kids."

"Only major Criticism Overall would be the degree to which the required courses (of which are approximately 32 criedits) are over-emphasized rather than focusing on research (which from my perspective I would rather spend more time doing. The research and education quality overall however is top notch, the administration simply needs to fix some structural issues with the program and this program will quickly skyrocket to being highly ranked"

"Having just finished my career in the chemistry department at UNL, I can say without hesitation that my whole time here has been positive. Collaborations between other departments such as physics and engineering allowed my graduate research to flourish and the faculty mentors I worked with were all very supportive. The scientific instruments available on campus left little to be desired. UNL is a great option for a graduate degree in chemistry."

"The education program through the University of Nebraska Lincoln is a great experience. It allowed me to be in the classroom before I was even accepted into the program. This gave you the perspective of teaching and to experience whether this was something you truly wanted to do. I believe in learning from experiences and at the University of Nebraska Lincoln you definitely get that opportunity. I was in multiple classrooms and multiple grades. Once you are in the Education Program you have small class sizes and you really get to know your professors. You go through most of your classes with the same people so you're able to build relationships. Aside from just school, the University offers so many extra curricular activities. There are clubs, intramural sports, and organizations to join. It is a very big campus so it's the type of place where you have to step out and get involved."

"The overall college experience at UNL is second to none--great people, beautiful campus, and the best fans in sports. This is a very large school, which has its pros and cons: tons of class & activity options, but big classes with tons of students. Be sure to use your resources and you'll be successful!"

"Although Nebraska is a more conservative state the University of Nebraska is much more liberal. Thankfully freedom of religion, speech, and assembly have not been taken away from the students here like they have at many other of our nation's universities. The University of Nebraska provided itself as the catalyst for me to experience other cultures and backgrounds, and the ability for me to seek out truth unhindered by excessive corporate policies and governmental interference."

"The University of Nebraska-Lincoln is a great school with abundant resources, student activities, and opportunities to grow and learn, academically and socially. In smaller programs as a graduate student, you are afforded a good chance of being awarded an assistantship, which pays for your tuition and provides a monthly stipend. For the experience and the affordability, I cannot recommend UNL enough."

"I am just beginning the Audiology graduate program at UNL. The staff have been amazing with communication and outlining due dates for required materials. The financial aid office is prompt and courteous to inquiries and is welling to help all students no matter their financial situation. Parking permits are expensive, but necessary when classes are held on the City and East campuses on the same day.The con of transportation is far out weighed by the student to teacher ratio. Students also have a orientation week to acquaint themselves with the staff and other students before the first official day of classes."

  • Degree: Exercise Science
"The graduate program gave me the opportunity to explore my passion within exercise science and nutrition. The course load greatly enhanced my knowledge of the field, but did not overwhelm me with a large workload. My only complaint is that the tuition costs were higher for individuals who are not Nebraska residents, Also, they are very strict on their definition of Nebraska residency (must live in Nebraska 1 year without taking any college courses)."
