University of Nebraska at Omaha Top Questions

What do you consider the worst thing about University of Nebraska at Omaha? Why?

Emily

I think the worse thing about the school is connected with one of the best things about it. This school is for independent personalities. I have found that many students that have undecided majors or need guidance in finding their career paths have a difficult time at this school. The advisors are great at helping the students obtain their career goals, but are not so great at helping students find and start those career goals. This school is a commuter school and you really are on your own, it's one thing you must be prepared for.

Heather

The worst thing about my school is parking. It is so hard to find a parking spot, and it is expensive to buy a parking pass and not be able to find a parking place. I usually park my car at an alternate parking area and take a shuttle bus up to the school.

Elizabeth

The school is older, and a lot of the buildings are showing their age with small classrooms with out-dated equipment. The shuttle drivers can also be scary to ride with.

Todd

The parking around campus. The shuttle system was alright, but the buses were not always in good condition. For instance, I know of two occasions when they broke down. Buying a parking pass was expensive, and it did not gaurantee a spot. When it would snow, which was often, they did not clear many walkways and getting around was difficult. For me, the parking got so frustarting at points that it would lead to skipping more classes than I should have. I would regularly miss 4 to 6 classes per semester because it was difficult to find avaliable parking spots.

Erica

Parking is probably the worst thing about my school. My professors and fellow students are great. Finding a parking spot was by far the hardest part of university experience.

Rachael

Parking.

Jessica

There is not a lot of on-campus housing so this school is a commuter school. This can often times make it hard for you to meet new people/friends.

Mark

The worst thing about UNO is that not all of the professors are great. Some of them really are and encourage their students in practical ways, but some of them are just there to earn a living and consequently put little effort into their lectures. The University has a program that takes results from anonymous student surveys to evaluate professor performance, but apparently its too hard to replace mediocre professors with better ones, because some classes are just not worth going to.

James

that alot of people live off campus but there are improving that now with building 8 more new dorms making it upper 20 for building betwwen north and south campus

Brittany

They do not provide job placement or help finding jobs paying off loans after you graduate.
