What Students Are Saying

Join a club, sport, sorority, fraternity, or something. If you are not very athletic but you have always wanted to try something, we have a bunch of intramurals including volleyball, flag football, and even inner-tube water polo and broom ball.
Erin from Omaha, NE
Make sure you take a day to visit no matter where it is. Also, NSE Day is overwhelming so come prepared to be bombarded with information.
Alyssa from Arcadia, NE
I'll tell any high school kid or adult coming back to college the same thing: find the school that's the best fit for you, find one that's cheap, and find one with national accreditation in your program.
John Paul from Kearney, NE
First week might be overwhelming but there are volunteer students who are sophomore and junior to help you out. Don't be scared!
Cansu from Kearney, NE
Students should consider UNK for this is a spectacular institution, not to mention, a positive learning environment. Be subjective with the school that you choose, as classes are only half of the college experience. Kearney is a great location, and the residents here are great!
