University of Louisville Top Questions

Because I don't drink or party very often, I've found it hard to find things to do on the weekends. If you aren't involved in Greek Life or Student Goverment Association it feels as if you don't belong on the campus and it makes it extremely hard to find actvities to join to keep busy.

Unavailability of convinient parking spaces close to the campus. I is very hard to find a parking space close to classes.

The University of Louisville is in the middle of the city of Louisville. I love our campus, but one things I could complain about is the crime. There is not much on-campus crime, but it lies on the outskirts of campus. This is sometimes uncomforting, but we have great security patrolling the campus.

I would like there to be a more balanced grading base for each class through out the year. Most of my classes were based on 3 or 4 tests and I don't believe this is the best way to test students. These professors have us in class 30 or so times a semster and only maybe 3 or 4 of these classes actually make up the grade. More participation and more grades with HW I believe help students learn over the course of the semester instead of cramming information the night before a test.

The worst thing about the University of Louisville is the wind that whips around the buildings and into every crease in your clothing when you are on the walk to and from class during winter. Wtih the exception of the four straight months of cold weather, Louisville is a fantastic place to be.

The worst thing about my school is that the outside of the buildings need updating

UofL is a commuter school, and unless you get involved in extra-cirrucular activities, it is difficult to make new friends. Many students attended high school in Louisville and live at home with their parents making it hard to meet new students in the dorms.

The worst thing about my school is that it is a commuter school; it is difficult to develop the feeling of a community on campus. It can also make it difficult to form friendships with other classmates.

The worst thing about the University of Louisville is most likely the over-emphasis on sporting events, although that gains attention for programs and can be beneficial in the long run. Instead of spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on remodeling a lockerroom or stadium, it could go to medical research funded programs such as our Bioengineering Department.

There is very little diversity. I think however, for where it is located the diversity is actually considered good. However I do not think it is enough to truly engage alot of students in a global aspect and cultures.
