The classes are all enjoyable. I have not come across a single professor that has not offered assistance out of class. They have also been open to answering questions after class, as long as this does not interfere with the next class or a meeting they must attend. I have heard of some professors being absent for illness, but only one of mine has ever been gone, and that was to present papers or research in England and Italy! I must say I have been a bit disappointed in the level of difficulty of certain classes, but I have also been in honors programs my entire life and I applied to UNL after the honors program deadline had passed. I intend to join it next year and I am sure my opinion of classes will improve.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
I was hesitant in my choice of UNL, but my decision to stay became clear soon after I arrived on campus. I met friends through a student organization and they have lasted throughout the semester. One thing to keep in mind about Nebraska is that it is a different culture. When I first arrived, I thought I was being mocked because students were so nice. Nope! They truly were that genuine.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
I would say this is awesome. Tuition seems reasonable for a public school, though this is the only college I have attended. Of course, there is an increase in tuition fees for out of state students, but there are also many scholarships. Quite a few people, definitely more than I expected, have some kind of scholarship. Even if it is for $1,000 or less, it is money and incentive to do well.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Don't be afraid to ask questions. I have a unique situation that requires somewhat awkward conversations at times, but I have not found anyone unwilling to discuss it if that's what it took to make me feel comfortable at UNL. Many people in authority, including other students, have gone out of their way to seek input on what they are doing.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Honestly, I don't know who wouldn't enjoy UNL. The football culture of Nebraska is fantastic and can suck you in easily. If that's not your thing, there really is a group on campus for most interests. UNL makes sure that with little effort on your part, you will feel included and soon be chanting, Go Big Red!
