Hello Everyone,
I am looking at UK, and I am interested in this school. I was wondering what people’s experiences at UK were. I’ve read some reviews that said if you’re not an athlete don’t bother going here. Just share your experiences. Thanks!
Experiences at any school are going to be individual experiences and pretty much you will get out of it what you put into it. If you haven’t visited UK then you probably should try to visit. Its a nice campus in the Middle of Lexington and there seems to be quite a bit to do near the campus. My D looked at UK and was accepted but most likely isn’t going to go. We do have a friend who’s D will be attending in the Fall.
I’ve worked with a few people who went to UK and they all seemed to have great experiences and they were not athletes. You can probably do a search on Cappex or Niche and get some student reviews as well.
UK is infinitely more than athletics. My D’s in her second year there. Pursuing a double major in biochem/biology. Sorority member and involved in women’s empowerment. Lexington has close to 300,000 people, so it’s not a small town. Great places to eat! There’s 29,000 students at UK - they aren’t ALL jocks!! I’d give it a closer look. At least I wouldn’t let the negative reviews scare you off.
