UNO is not very good overall. Most professors dont like teaching and they dont care about students. We pay a lot of tuition and have debt going here.
Overall 1.5
Horrendous. Professors are useless. Food is literally the worst I have ever had. Campus is run down. They won't accommodate anything. They seem to just overall resent their students.
I want to cry everyday, I hate it here.

UNO is known as a budget friendly school, it doesn't have much to offer and its professors are usually terrible with very few that are good and actually care. The food is terrible, there isn't much for social people on this campus. There have been numerous car jackings this year, and it definitely isn't a very safe campus.
Overall 1.7
UNO is mostly a commuter school so if you're looking for the college experience, apply elsewhere. The buildings are pretty rough, and the administration is a mess but the college of engineering is run well with the exception of a few unfavorable professors. So if you are focused solely on getting an education, it gets the job done.

You think to yourself "I love New Orleans I visited for Mardi Gras!" Well.... the city aint so great. If you love people breaking into you car which is parked next to the campus police station maybe then you'll love it here. (This actually happen multiple times) Or maybe youll love the mediocre professors who take multiple months to grade anything.

This university is not very good. We have to pay a lot in fees and tuition compared to other higher ranking universities. Also there is not resources to help students like tutoring and graduation rate is very low. Bad choice.
Overall 1.9
Let me tell you about the nastiness. according to many professors, the school cannot afford basic janitorial duties. they can't afford to clean the classrooms and will clean the bathroom twice a month. the bathrooms in milenburg hall are rancid and there's sh!t and toilet water everywhere. not just that but there's dead roaches in every room.

Been to three different schools, this one is at the bottom for sure. Gotten three emails just this semester about people's car's being broken into when we have to pay almost $150 just to park anyway.
