University of Kentucky Reviews

"University of Kentucky was one of the best decisions I could have made as an undergrad! I loved the school and the positive energy that was carried throughout the campus! I would recommend anyone to go to that school! I'm excited to continue my education for Grad school at Arizona State University, but if I didn't want a different experience for grad school, I would have for sure went back to the University of Kentucky."

"University of Kentucky College of Pharmacy is a stimulating environment that will provide you with the skills, knowledge, and confidence needed to succeed in today's pharmacy world. Our curriculum is cutting edge and our professor's are willing to make sacrifices in order for you to succeed. Career counseling and professional development is something this program takes very seriously. Additionally, although the cost of attendance is high, many scholarships are awarded on both a merit and financial need basis. I would highly recommend a tour of our phenomenal facility. I am confident that once you experience UK College of Pharmacy, you will know this is where you want to call home.Read Less"

"UK is strong community. It provides all the opportunities of a research university including facilities and accommodations but still feels like a small town."

"The professors really care. The campus is beautiful but traffic and parking are rough. Spend time meeting people, those contacts will last forever."

"It is an excellent University! It is steadfastly becoming one of the top 20 research institutions in the country. My instructors were easy to talk to and took a genuine interest in students' learning. It is in an excellent area of the state and there are several 'things to do' around Lexington."

"The University of Kentucky was filled with school spirit and had many campus traditions. This school is excellent if you are seeking a profession that involves research."

"Met great people and faculty, but fought for the program/classes that I needed for my career goals as it wasn't fully available yet"

"Good Business School for Accounting and Finance."

"The Library and Information Sciences degree at UK is excellent. In addition to the core classes, I felt like there was a lot of support and tailoring to the specific type of library I wanted to work in, but also enough general instruction that I would feel comfortable in any situation I choose after graduation. It's one of the reasons I chose the University of Kentucky's ALA accredited program."

"I had a great a great experience at UK. The campus, faculty and staff are wonderful."

"I learned so much that helped me prepare for my career at the University of Kentucky. The experience was one of the most valuable of my life."

"As long as you keep a positive attitude and work hard, it really doesn't matter a whole lot what college you choose. Make sure they have a degree in what you are interested in, then go for it! It's not as bad as it might first seem."

"As an in state student, I received a full tuition scholarship to the University of Kentucky and began as an Undecided major. During my Sophomore year I declared a major in International Studies with a focus in Culture and the Arts. I switched guidance counselors but found it still difficult to choose a career path during and after my undergraduate career. The University could use more programs and counselors to help students find a path and focus after graduation."

"I wouldn't trade my days at the University of Kentucky for anything. I started off as a student-athlete who dedicated 25 plus hours each week to a sport and ended as a regular college with a double major. Entering my fourth and final year as "NARP" (non-athletic regular person) I can say that I found an instant network of colleagues to help advance my academic career. With gymnastics it was very hard to be involved in extra curricular activities that did not involve athletics or required community service. This new "college life" I experienced opened up doors to government connections that have helped me pursue my career in homeland security after I began an internship at the Kentucky Office of Homeland Security. I obtained this internship from talking to professors in the political science department and together they were able to help me intern at KOHS during my fall and spring semester. UK offers great opportunities for any kind of student. Just show you are interested and connections will be made.Read Less"

"The University of Kentucky. Big Blue Nation and in the biggest and most well known conference in the country, the SEC! This school has given me a diverse experience when it comes to class size, professors, and overall opportunities. I transferred to the University as an athlete, and I must say the athletes are treated like celebrities! Seriously, a day would not go by when you did not see a student chasing after a basketball player for an autograph. Despite the fandom, the school spirit there was amazing! Attending any sporting event I expected to have a great time. Now with academics it was a very different story. Kinesiology is a great major, with a large group of students. The issue I had is the classes were not that challenging and looking back I should have picked up a minor. Since athletics were really big there were great shadowing opportunities for those seeking to be an athletic trainer, personal trainer, or physical therapist. If you are seeking to do pre-medicine like myself, there were opportunities, but they were not discussed in my department, I had to go search for months to figure out who I needed to talk to, to make sure I was meeting the requirements for medical school. The university has a really big study abroad program, looking back as a transfer sophomore I should have studied abroad as soon as possible. They offer lots of scholarships in that department, but in order to get any other scholarships you kinda have to know someone who knows someone. The professors were amazing. I really made a point to email my professors and go meet with them. Of course I had some professors that were unreasonable, and I just relied on the awesome study centers on campus and study groups with students in the class. The university is not that diverse, and you can really see it when you attend a basketball or football game. However, there are plenty of organizations to join like the black student union, multicultural out of state student association and others, mainly because these orgs are focused on diversity. There is always something happening on campus, just go to student activities board for a calendar and you will be set for the year! Enjoy this university, you will be glad you did!Read Less"

"This program is good for students who want to go on to a professional degree. It works as a post baccalaureate degree in terms of taking upper level coursework, but also allows you to get a degree in the process. The professors are smart and mostly helpful. Out of state tuition is ridiculously expensive. You spend most of your time in the college of medicine around other graduate students involved in a multitude of career paths in the health field."

"The University of Kentucky is a great school. The campus, although large, is friendly and welcoming. Lexington is a wonderful city and has a great "college town" vibe. I choose to attend UK after visiting the campus, as soon as I arrive I felt like I was home, this is one of the biggest reasons I decided to attend UK for both my Bachelor's and Master's degree."

"Great school and offered a one of a kind MSACC program that incorporated the CPA exam."

"I received an incredible education at the University of Kentucky. I was taught by knowledgeable professors and took advantage of the numerous involvement opportunities. UK allows students to have an amazing college experience, such as by joining student organizations or studying abroad."

"Excellent education. Prepared me for a professional job and now I am headed into a top-tier grad program. Big state school, so it is what you make of it. Great faculty though and lots of resources- just use them! Majored in international studies and studied a foreign language. Loved Lexington to boot."
