UK is a great school if youre looking for a mix of campus and city life. Lots of great social events, but easy to make friends if you arent as social. Great professors and opportunities on campus as well as awesome sports and people.

Everything is great. Food options could be better.

I've only been here for a semester, so I suppose I can't say too much, but there are so many facilities available for students to succeed. People seem nice enough, as well. My only problem is general cost of everything, but that will come with any D1 school.

I am an international student from Nepal, and it is great living and studying here. If you are here for your study but not for some fancy American lifestyle, then this is a perfect place.

Overall, it was not too bad or good for me but I personally think this place was just an average. I satisfied based on my major and I also think that this school is good for specific major which is healthcare. Kentucky is actually great for healthcare so I came to study but without healthcare, the place is not actual great place to study .

Because it is US, we don’t know what will be happen during at midnight even if Lexington might be safer than any other places. Realized that there are tons of Selfish mind people around in that school. Avoid.

i am still unsure of why an A is a 92. I ended up getting 0.007% away from an A but there is no leniency in her grading criteria. Read the rubric, hope for a good TA, and really study for the midterm and final exams, as those 70 questions are worth a huge part of your grade, even though they do not always pertain to what you're learning in lab.
