I had the best experience at UofL!

U of L gets a bad review by people who've never attended there, but just know parts of the city. Best decision of my life was to attend the Speed School.

I’m a junior and I love coming here. There is a committee that offers things like free snow cones or lemonade once a month to commuters. The school provides TARC so you can get to and from school/your car. The library is great-separated by noise level. Read reviews before picking professor, there are many GREAT but a few I would never EVER take.

One of the worse College ever! They do not help you they will take your money and when you need help they say screw you! This College is not even the top 100 College in the US. It is at 192 on the top 100 list. So not worth it!

I dislike this school so much! I have been a full time student/employee for 3 years now and will have to finish out my ungrad here. Meal plan waivers are awful I submitted the waiver a month before the semester and it is now 1/2 way through and I am emailed that it was denied. As a commuter we have to park for 200 dollars at the stadium, awful.

The only help students get is to "talk to someone else". They send lots of emails about nothing, then when you ask for assistance, they send you to someone else., who will send you to someone else. They do not care about students. I am glad to leave.

The definition of a back-up school. Come here if you don't want to be academically challenged yet miserable at the same time. At least Old Louisville is fun to walk around.

Bad system

Avoid anything in the college of education. A lot of shady professors and administration.

The institution doesn't seem to care about its students. There are 'opportunities' for students to become more successful but they seem to mostly cater to the university. Most professors will work with students but it seems more like they are manipulating stats to secure long-term employment than they are actually looking out for the students.
