ENGLISH, Class of 1981It's been a long time and back in the late 70s jobs were plentiful and "liberal arts" were big. Don't recall anything much in the way of this line of thing but I'm sure there's a lot more now.

Masters of political science , Class of 2015None that were taken seriously- they had a career center that was underutilized and some job fairs, but not frequently. They didn't prepare me personally for the real world. The business school or teaching school or engineering colleges may have been better, but arts and sciences doesn't prepare students for what is needed in the workplacd

Alumni
ENGLISH, Class of 1981It's a big school, very sports-oriented and with a big Greek (sorority/fraternity) presence but is big enough that "geeks, nerds and brains" can find a niche as well. It's also located in one of the most wonderful "small cities" in the world - Lexington, KY - a little slice of paradise on Earth!
-
Alumni
BS in Accounting, Class of 1980Typical college. Mainly the full focus was the school. A lot of students lived either on campus or very near.

Alumni
Social Work, Class of 1993I was a non traditional student and didn't spend time on campus after classes

Alumni
Masters of political science , Class of 2015Very typical southern school- fraternity/sorority oriented. A lot of focus on men's basketball, and a lot of partying. I taught as a grad student, and the students were nice, but had trouble with the scientific method and writing. They were mostly respectful of other viewpoints, and tolerant, but there was a large aspect of homogenization and party-focused undergraduates
