Agribusiness: Banking and Financing, Class of 2013As is the state, it is made up of mostly Nebraska football fans. The University is quite more diverse than the rest of the state, which is still heavily European/white. It's not a party campus at all and gives a peaceful/laid back feel with still a strong push towards academic excellence. It is easily one of the most friendly campuses in the whole U.S. (campus, city, and state)
Facilities
What letter grade would you give the facilities at your school.
Based on 17 Reviews-
Alumni
Construction Management, Class of 2006Perfectly decent. Not extravagant, but not run-down or inadequate either. Our science labs were generally quite good, more than adequate for undergrad instruction but not quite state-of-the-art for advanced research (except in certain areas).

Alumni
Education, Class of 1981Too long ago to remember everything
-
Alumni
Agribusiness: Banking and Financing, Class of 2013I was in a fraternity so I didn't spend much time in the dorms or dining halls as a student, but I do currently work for a nonprofit on the campus, not employed by the University, and the students I meet with enjoy the dorm life. There is a mix of both traditional dorms and the newer, apartment style dorms at the University. I personally hate the the newer apartment style dorms, since they ruin students' chances to meet people outside their room and only encourage seclusion and loneliness for students who already struggle making friends or who are from outside the state. Classrooms and nice and becoming better and better with UNL becoming a Big 10 school. I know little of the campus' labs
-
Alumni
BS in Computer Science, Class of 1987excellent, a lot of upgrades in the past 30 years

Alumni
Ph.D. Plant Breeding and Genetics, Class of 1990OK at the time, significantly upgraded since then
