University of Kentucky Top Questions

I wish I would have known how to use my resources to find scholarships

I wish I had known how much it snows, I wasn't expecting that.

the campus is conservative in politcal nature

I wish I had known that the University of Kentucky sort of has a split campus (North Side and South Side) with all of the class buildings being on the South Side of campus and more of the dorms being on the North Side of campus. I also wish I knew that they had other sports besides their big D1 sports, such as club and intramural sports.

Before I came to college I wish I would have known of more of the free opportunities that are availiable on campus and got a little more involved.

I wish I would have known to spend a little less time studying and a little more time getting to know people and making connections. Studying is very very important, but without the social aspect college is not actually college. The grades and the interaction with other people from around the world is what makes college such an amazing experience.

I wish I would have known about all the opportunities that the University of Kentucky has. There are so many ways for you to get involved on campus and I felt like I didn't really know about them or take advantage of all the things that were offered to me or I had at my disposal.

The administrative offices aren't always thorough in their communication with the students.

It would be great if I could visit myself from three years ago, because then I could tell myself to do more research and go into human nutrition as a major from the very beginning; this would have saved me alot of time from studying in a major that was leading me through a path I was not partial to.

I already knew everything I wanted to know.

I wish I had known completely about the student loan situation, because the finantial aid people are not very clear about what needs to be done and what has been done in order to pay for the college.

The extent of the engineering program

I was born and raised in Southern California, and coming to the University of Kentucky was one of the biggest obstacles I have had to overcome in my life so far. Moving to a completely different state and not knowing anyone, is by far the most uneasy feeling, but I got myself involved in many organizations around campus to start making new friends. The one thing I wish I would have known before coming was how hard it was going to be to leave my family and friends back home, but I would not trade this opportunity for anything.

How racist and segregated the school is. I come from a very diverse background and I was shocked when I came here and found out it was nothing like the picture they painted.

No because I have been very successful at this school, i am focused and on time to every class. And when i go out on the weekend i do not loose the real reason why i am at school. So i always make sure i dont do anything that can affect my studies.

I wish I had known that most of the city was closer to north campus than to south campus. Most of the restaurants and places not connected to the university to hang out are north of campus. If I had known that, and that the walk across campus was thirty minutes, I probably would've applied for north campus living. The long walk across campus also affected my travel to class. I love sleeping in so having to wake up early so I could leave for class at the latest thirty minutes before class cut back on that a bit.

I wish I had known more about all the programs offered to help freshmen transition into college life. I had a small idea of what K-Week, the first week on campus, had to offer, but I had no idea that I could join a group who would give a free meal each week and allow opportunities to meet other freshmen.

I wish I would have known how much more time consuming the studying is.

I wish I would have known how big sorority and fraternity life is here.

I wish I would of known about all of the clubs that surround the campus. I think that University Clubs are vital in a students enjoyment at their school. Once I arrived I was able to decide which clubs I wanted to join, but if I would have known before hand, my college choice may of been easier.
