University of Louisville Top Questions

Here's your chance: Say anything about your college!

Daniel

Uofl is unique as a result of the students, faculty and staff. I can’t think of another college where students join in with thousands of other people to dress up as the "The Dude" and take part of the Lebowski festival. Where else can you find odd philanthropies from where you get to see fraternities carrying a full keg in their speedos. Our school even makes it a point to let out for summer break based upon a horse race (I’m talking about the Kentucky Derby for those not from here). These are all what make UofL unique.

Maggie

The University of Louisville is very diverse. Since I have been here people are very friendly and the teachers are helpful. What I like most is this college is not all about greek life, you can do other things and still be involved.

Kobie

Our school spirit! Being apart our schools dance team and having an eye level access with a lot of sporting events, I get to see how the fans react. We have amazing spirt and support of all of our teams, not only as a school but as a community and as a city. It is amazing to see how many people come out for football, basketball, soccor, lacrosse games and etc. It's an amazing feeling to be apart of a community of people that can set aside differences and come together for an event.

Jessica

I transferred here and the difference between the University of Louisville and my other school is amazing. The thing I love most here is the school spirit. Even if you never had any spirit before you will find yourself caught up in the rush. It is contagious and spreads like wildfire. You begin to love the feeling of being proud of where you are at and want the whole world to know it. School spirit here is the best.

Ashlee

The other schools I happened to be looking at were a lot smaller than UofL, but the main thing I liked about the school is the location. It is right in the middle of Louisville which means everything is around it, and there is always something going on or somewhere to go. Louisville is my hometown so I take great pride in where I grew up. I have always been interested in sports, and I just love being a part of a school with a great sports program. I makes taking pride in your school so much fun.

Kyla

University of Louisville is a nationally known school, the two other colleges I wanted to go to weren't. It is also a much much larger university and is located in a metropolis instead of a rather rural area. The school pride here is matched only by our biggest rivals, University of Kentucky.

Tiffany

UofL gives you the big school feel with personal attention from all of your professors. UofL cares about their students sucess. Most people know about UofL when you are asked what school you attend and it is nice to be a student of a top ranking school in education and athletics. It is also nice to know most people when walking around the campus and it is easy to participate in multiple extracurricular activities. UofL offers a wonderful college education that you can taylor to your intrests and graduate with the tools neccessary to succeed.

Corey

I love my college! I feel like I go to a great school where I'll get a degree that will take me places, and I get to root for some winning teams in various sports. Who doesn't like winning? We'd love to have you here at UofL! GO CARDS!

Steven

Unversity of Louisville is neither a big school nor a small school; It is suiting for anyone. They have one of the best business school and medical schools in the nation. The diversity of the student body the school spirit and sports programs are uncomparible to any other school.

Emma

University of Louisville's college spirit is HUGE. Everyone here is a Cardinal and proud of it!

Adam

One of the unique features of U of L is that it does a great deal of work for the community around it and is at the cutting edge of current educational technologies. It also has a wonderful sports progam, is located in a medium sized city, and the campus has a wonderful feel about it.

Ayita

The most unique aspect of the school is the people. The city of Louisville has a big city feel with a hometown atmosphere. The warmth and sincerity of the school community made attending school less stressful. The diversity of races, ethnicities of the people always allowed for interesting discussions in class because there were so many viewpoints available to analyze.

Brittany

The University of Louisville is very large but keeps some of its classes small so you get one on one help. Also almost everything you need is on campus and it's east to get to.

Tiffany

My school is unique because diversity is spread all through out the campus. There is a mix of races/nationalities a visitor will see and may be surprised by it.

Andrew

When i was searching for the college that i wanted to attend during my senior year of highschool, i narrowed my search to a list of nearly 6 schools. The unique attribute at the University of Louisville which made it stand out in a crowd of nearly 6 college and university choices was its academics. The academics at the university are nationally ranked in multiple categories such as engineering, business, and nursing. With my main interest in business and entrepreneurship, i could not pass up a school which was ranked top ten in the country for the field.

Hannah

The University of Louisville is a very diverse environment. Unlike many other schools that I considered, the people of UofL come from many different backgrounds. The amazing diversity of my school has presented me with the opportunity to grow as a person by learning about others. Without this opportunity my college experience would be seriously lacking, and I would be deprived of life-long learning experiences.

Andre

I thought the engineering program was unique. With the program, I would be able to get my master's degree in 5 years instead of 6. The amount of majors offered at UofL was exceptional as well.

Serah

I chose the University of Louisville because it has a lot of opportunities for research. I am a psychology major who hopes to have a career in Psychology research, so I knew that the funding the University of Louisville receives would help me to get more experience in research. Also, the city of Louisville is unique in that it is exciting and yet the atmosphere of the university is relaxed and community-based.

Marcus

There is an incredable amount of diversity throughout U of L, which gives students the opportunity to better understand other cultures.

Corinne

The University of Louisville provided many of the same opportunities as more prestigious universities did, but at a much lower cost. In addition, UofL makes efforts to engage their student body, with lots of programs for freshman and campus wide activities throughout the semester.

Sara

The University of Louisville's student life is what has appealed to me most. I truly enjoy the type of person that chooses to attend UofL. It seems almost a requirement at other schools to come from a wealthy family and be able to afford to wear high-end name brand items, whereas UofL students are so relaxed and don't get caught up in logos and what letters of the Greek alphabet you wear on your t-shirt. Greek life at UofL is one big family and nobody "gangs" up on organization.

Julie

I like that the school is really involved in the city of Louisville, but the city does not thrive off of the university. With many schools, the campus is the life of the city, but that is not the case with Louisville. The two work really well together, and you can enjoy the city of Louisville without being a college studetnt.

Kimberly

I like the fact that there are many polititicians, judges, doctors, professors.... ect. that have left U of L and have became very successful.

Kelly

I love the campus at U of L. There are albino squirrels that run across the open areas all the time. How much more unique can you get than that? I also love that U of L offers plenty of opportunities for non-traditional students to attend classes and still receive a degree.

Valerie

There is a very high school spirit. The people at my school enjoy the big city and the big classes. I was in the University of Louisville Marching Band my first year because I love their band and music programs. UofL also had higher standards than most of the other collages near me. That was the biggest reason I chose it. My education is important.

Cuong

I really did not consider any other school for undergraduate college since I has always been planning to stay at the University of Louisville to save money.

Elizabeth

My school is in a beautiful area with lots of opportunities to learn about diverse subjects and receive the best education ever.

Jonathan

This place offers the worst variety in food.

Katie

The University of Louisville has a very laid back atmosphere. It's not too big and it's not too small. Everybody is very cheerful and excited to be there, there's plenty of school spirit. When you're there you just feel so welcomed and like you're a part of something. All of the other schools I considered I felt as if I stood out of the crowd and that everybody was just there, there was no sense of wholeness or nearly as much school spirit like at UofL.

Young-Won

Nothing is unique about this school. It is just like any other public university.

Nicolas

It's a big university with a small university atmosphere. Everyone is friendly and always up for meeting new people and broading their horizons.

Tyler

I only seriously considered one or two other schools. I live very close to UofL, and I always knew growing up that that's where I wanted to be. However, compared to those other schools, I think what sets UofL aside is the community of which it is a part. UofL is a growing University, but is at the same time already very established. The number of those living on campus continues to increase, as well as overall school spirit. Seeing the potential here, I feel the responsibility and possibility that I may play an important role in that growth.

Chandra

I am not sure if I can say that my school is unique. I feel that my school is a lot like other schools. I honestly think that U of L does not stand out in a way that it can open up to prospective students. The students can come here and achieve their goals, it really does not matter what school they attend.

Sarah

The University of Louisville, as well as the city of Louisville, is very progressive in comparison to other universities and cities in Kentucky. The students here are from all over; and it shows! I really found myself at this school and I love the person I am today. The city is cleaner than other cities and schools I visited. Although UofL does not recycle on campus at all the campus is still well maintained. However, the student body is working to convince the right people that we should become more aware of our impact on our planet.

Jennifer

The University of Louisville is a quality education where the doors of the world open up. Here you discover your passions and the courage to attain them while founding friendships that will last you a lifetime. It is here that your future begins and you don't have to break the bank in pursuit of your dreams like you would for an Ivy league school. At UofL: diversity thrives, school spirit reigns, and graduation day is the pinnacle of your academic career! "The University of Louisville, It's Happening Here!"

Kristoffer

My school is so much more liberal and left leaning than most schools in Kentucky. It is definitely the best choice for young liberals living a largely conservative state.

Sarah

University of Louisville is in the heart of Kentucky's largest metropolitan yet it is a small city onto iteslf. There is always something going on , all you have to do is get out there and do it.
