University of Louisville Top Questions

The worst thing about the University of Louisville is the dining options. Freshmen who live in tradition-style dormitories receive a large amount of meal swipes that can only be used at three places on campus. The main option, the Ville Grille, serves mediocre food and has little variety on a day-to-day basis. Meal swipes can also be used at Cardinal Burger Cafe at a certain time but the limited options quickly grow old. All other dining options use flex points which, on the traditional meal plan, have to be spent wisely because they are limited.

The scholarships and financial aid are severely lacking. Most of the scholarships are for lower socioeconomic students or students who are a minority. This makes it difficult for other students who also cannot afford college to find resources to pay. For instance, my mom makes just enough that I don't qualify for federal aid, but not enough to pay my tuition. However, because we're over the line, I don't qualify for many scholarships either.

While it is much cheaper than most other schools, the cost of attending University of Louisville is a lot, especially when students' tuition is funding the sports programs over acedmic programs.

I consider the lack of smoking areas at my school is the worst thing about it. As a non-smoker, I do not like to continuously walk through the cigarrete smoke of others. One reason due to a heart condition, and another due to the fact that smoking isn't permitted on campus, yet the rule is not enforced. Many other students feel the same way. Many students respect the choice of others who choose to smoke, but I believe that designated smoking areas would make everyone happy.

The worst thing about my school would probably be all the University of Kentucky students...just joking. I would have to say the adjustment of different learning styles according to the professor an individual has. My learning style is hands-on and when I get a professor that does more learn on your own style, I get confused and it is hard for me to adjust. Not every professor is going to teach the way I understand the best, but I wish there would be a description of the professor online when you go to choose your classes.

The worst thing about my school is that there are not a lot of healthy food options. This is probably due to the fact that most colleges have the "typical" college foods, manly being fast-food or cafeteria foods.

The worst thing about the University of Louisville is the false reputation that it has. Many other schools believe that the University lacks integrity in its academics, sports, student life and post graudate success. We have a nationally recognized selective graduate programs, a NCAA championship trophy & a Suger Bowl victory along with many other NCAA titles, nationally recognized top Greek chapters, venues where famous artists such as Kendrick Lamar and Timeflies have come to perform for our students, and a steadily increasing percent of graduates who find steady jobs after graduation. It's definitely happening here atthe University of Louisville.

The administartive side of it. Trying to talk to anyone about financial aid was impossible. They would send you to building after building and I just ended right back at the same place that I started. They did not treat me like a person in these offices.

The worst thing about my school would have to be the hours of our dining locations. They close at very random times and that does not allow students to access food late at night if they want it.

I have had problems with the financial aid department on numerous occasions. I wasn't awarded the financial aid I was supposed to at the beginning of the semester. It took a lot of extra time in order to have everything straightened out. It was hard to find the time to speak with them, because I am currently enrolled as a full-time student with 17 hours and I also have a job.

That it is so large, it is very hard to get involved and have a since of belonging to the university. There is a low since of school pride.

The worst thing I can think of is them charging you a rediculous amount of money for parking and then do not even offer enough parking spaces for the excessive amount of permits they sold for that semester. It a big rip off adn jsut a way to make extra money :-(

The worst thing is having to park at the football stadium and ride a bus to the campus.

The undergraduate program for psychology majors was not as challenging as it could have been and various other undergraduate classes were far below par in the quality of education offered.

The worst thing about UofL is the class size. Some of the classes have a few hundred students in them which makes learning difficult. Also, the campus is very large so when you have only 10 minutes between classes, it's difficult to get there on time. Then you have to sit in the back of the lecture hall and sometimes its impossible to hear the professors because of the number of students and the size of the room.

The worst thing about UofL is because the campus is located on a flood plain (near the Kentucky River), any rain that falls tend to pool around campus and make the grounds very marshy. But, a good pair of water-proof boots does the trick.

The worst thing that I think about the University of Louisville is the lack of scholarships that are available for my major. Being an older and a commuting student, it would help tremendously if there would be some type of scholarships developed to assist non-traditional students, such as myself. I think that the return on such an investment would greatly assist the department in attracting more less fortunate, but brilliant young minds who may be interested, but unable to afford the cost of a college education.

In my opinion, the worst aspect of the University of Louisville is the location. The schoool is sitting in down town Louisville, which isn't the safest of areas.

I think the worst thing about this school is that there is alot of crime that occurs both on and around campus. Many people get robbed, and/or injured just walking home from class.

I really don't think there is anything wrong with the school I am attending. I do wish they would have more of a variety of majors. Also I wish they would have a little bit more diversity.
