Nebraska is an excellent place to go toBrightPolitical Science
Nebraska is an excellent place to go to if you're willing to put the time into everything you do. The city of Lincoln itself isn't stellar, but if you are involved in campus organizations and make an effort to get to know your professors and grad students, you will receive the individual attention you desire. A big school like this gives you what you put into it, and those who leave with a negative attitude of the school are those who did not try hard enough to better the own success and experience.

Question
I transferred to UNL mid-semester of my freshmanBrightBusiness - Management and Administration
I transferred to UNL mid-semester of my freshman year. It was hard to meet people because of coming in the middle of the year, but students are usually friendly. There are a ton of clubs and organizations to join. Joining an activity is the best way to meet people, especially if you are an out-of-state student. Students that live nearby often go home every weekend, which can be slightly annoying for people that don't live nearby. Professors are friendly and willing to help. People really like to talk about how cold and windy it can be, but it really is not that terrible. The only real negative thing for me is the lack of mountains in Nebraska. Overall I have learned to love UNL and I'm so glad I transferred.

Question
This college is a joke! I came hereQuite BrightEnglish
This college is a joke! I came here from freaking China so that I could branch out and be challenged. But I was disappointed because this college has no challenges, no social life, no diversity, and nothing special what so ever. I thought that maybe I'd be entitled to some upper level classes because I scored so well on my ACT, but all the classes are the same level; STUPID. I'm majoring in English, and being from another country, you'd think that I'd be a little behind, but I have better English than half the people in this place. All the people at this school care about is their puppies, their farms and graduating to harvest corn. So freaking dumb. Pick any college but this one unless you want to be surrounded by a bunch of boring, slurred, farm-folk with nothing but pulling carrots out of the ground to look forward to.
