University of Kentucky Reviews

"Pros. would include the location, quality of classes, and length of time it took to complete the program. Cons would include the large price of tuition, and lack of scholarships available."

"The University of Kentucky College of Medicine is a great program that adequately prepares students to become well-rounded physicians and provides support along each step of student's development. Pros include cheap student living in the campus area, 24 hour facilities, and recording of lectures for review at your leisure. Also lots of expert lecturers who work as physicians and have hands-on experience. Cons of the program include high tuition fees for out of state students."

"The faculty at UK Law are very talented, although some seem to go out of their way to create problems with students. Tuition has risen about $1000 over the last four years, and the class is not made up of "social butterflies." Although I feel safe inside the Law building, there are numerous sexual assaults, armed robberies, and shootings around campus."

"Great school great students and just a great environment to be in. The teachers really help you and try to look for the best way to make you understand  what they are trying to say. It is a good place where you know there is alot of excitement and good weather."

"I am in the PA program (but couldn't select it) and very excited to start my career. Pros- * very established school with a very developed program. * Brand new Dean of the Clinical health sciences college who is making amazing changes * professors that care for the students * associated with medical, pharmacy, and nursing schools. So brings in a lot of knowledge from all different aspects Cons - * expensive to live and tuition is high, especially for summer programs * lectures are over webcast for some classes as we partner with another class"

"The Masters of Linguistic Theory and Typology is a growing program looking for eager student who are considering careers in applied Linguistics or pursuing doctoral programs. This department has excellent professors and graduate students who have international research ties. It is a high caliber place to begin in the field or continue honing research skills."

"The School Psychology program at the University of Kentucky has been a beneficial experience, expanding my knowledge of the public school system, special education services, and assessment techniques. The professors are accessible and allow for a comfortable, collaborative classroom environment. These faculty member is invested in your professional development as well as individual growth. The program is quite demanding because of the work load and outside demands beyond exams and paper work. However, because of the quality of the program and it's ability to produce high quality psychologists, it is worth it."

"Pros: Intense program with valuable research experience Cons: Difficult to communicate effectively with advisors"

"The first year was extremely demanding, so it scared me a little, but the second year has been very interesting and even fun. Plus, we use so many of the concepts we learned in the first year that it showed why the workload was so tough. We just really learned so much! The program is constantly being improved upon, so we are getting the most current information available. The career center is extremely helpful. The only cons I have experienced is the lack of scholarships for grad students. I have been to the office several times, and they didn't seem interested in helping me."

"There are many pros to the graduate program at the University of Kentucky School of Music. I study classical guitar performance with a professor who concertizes around the world and is involved in early music as well as new music ensembles. The experiences and depth of knowledge held by my professor and fellow guitar majors is invaluable, not just to me, but to any guitarist who is accepted to the program. The guitar program in particular has hosted many world-class musicians and pedagogues. The program has sponsored multiple concerts featuring internationally known guitarists. The faculty at the school of music are outstanding to say the least. I have gained countless experiences and professional opportunities from the music theory, musicology, music education, and music performance departments. The amount of opportunity at the University of Kentucky has led me to attaining my Master of Music Performance degree and Certification in Music Theory Pedagogy. In addition to my past accomplishments, I am currently working on my Certification of Music Education and the Doctorate of Musical Arts in Classical Guitar Performance. The sky is the limit here at UK!"

"Pros: Small communal classes Cons: Too much homework"

"The faculty is great and very supportive. They have fostered a family environment. There is a high turnover of leadership in the program which makes it feel a bit unorganized."

"I am really satisfied with my graduate program The graduate director and the faculty are very enthusiastic and supportive of students. I feel the biweekly salary of the TAs could be increased as the workload along with the courses and teaching is a more."

"Pros: University of Kentucky is a fantastic research University with renown professors. Cons: The transportation is difficult. Public health is not stressed well enough."

"The student to faculty ratio is great at UK and the small class size keeps the educational environment very intimate."

"The Modern and Classical Languages, Literature and Culture Department is awesome!! And the German studies folks are above and beyond. They are extremely helpful when it comes to networking, teaching with a pedagogical scope, and just really fun! I couldn't have made a better choice!!"

"The University of Kentucky is more than a campus, but a family. Being a student means automatically becoming a member of the Big Blue Nation and a tradition of more than just sport-related achievements. As a top research university, UK always strives to maintain its ranks among other universities by pushing and encouraging students. Even with the temperamental weather forecasts, campus is beautiful throughout the year and you are sure to keep those pesky "freshman 15" away from walking to all of your classes."

"So far I have really enjoyed almost all aspects of my graduate work here at the University of Kentucky. I love the people I work with and the education I receive inside and outside the classroom is so rich and dense, a price could not be placed on it. This department tried really hard to allow me the opportunity to come here as a graduate student. After a lot of work, they made it happen for me. The only cons to this program so far is the lack of time I have with my professors and especially the professors who advise my research. They are very busy and often travel a lot. The things I learn from them and the time I spend with them mean a lot to me and I wish I had more of it!! Overall, the University of Kentucky has provided me with an outstanding graduate school experience."

"Intense workload at times, but well respected program in the state."

"Throughout your college career, you will be given loads of advice about what you should and should not major in. My advice is this- find something you love, but can afford to love. You have to be able to survive, but you need to able to flourish and live your life as well."
