I love the music department at my school, simply because the faculty are incredibly fun and diverse, plus the fact that I get an intimate connection with most of them (only professors teach music classes). The cost of the meal plan could go down, though, and parking is a huge issue on campus, since there aren't enough spots for everyone. As a positive, virtually all the buildings on campus are close together and easy to walk to, with some exceptions.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
I'll tell any high school kid or adult coming back to college the same thing: find the school that's the best fit for you, find one that's cheap, and find one with national accreditation in your program.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
This could use some improvements in the area of music, mainly because the Nebraska board of regents clipped all majors down to 120 credit hours and wouldn't allow exceptions. This means my department had to make serious cuts, especially to the 140 credit hour music ed program, and some classes suffered. Also, the general studies requirement is too strong at 45 credits, which cuts into everyone's major area of study.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
There's a little something for everyone here. Studious people live Men's Hall with the Honors Program kids, really social people live in a Greek fraternity or sorority house, and the quiet antisocial people live in the apartment style dorms.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
This pretty well sucks. The campus powers that be charge us $2,000 for a crappy meal plan and took away our meal exchanges that would have allowed us to eat anywhere other than the two cafeterias. This is especially highly inconvenient for those of us who have classes that straddle the lunch hour and don't have time to go to the cafeteria for food.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
You can always climb a tree, even though campus doesn't allow you to. There really isn't much to do in this town. You have to make your own fun.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
Join a fraternity! It's a blast and you get to hang out with some really cool people!
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
The Fijis are the smartest, most awesome fraternity on campus. It means a lot to be a Fiji at UNK.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
There really isn't much to protect against, because there isn't a significant amount of crime on campus.
