Ratings are on a 1-10 scale
| Characteristic | Rating | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Would Recommend? | yes | UN-L and Lincoln, NE are safe, friendly and encourage individual responsibility. It wouldn't appeal to folks on the coast but for the average Joe looking for a great place to get a degree on time and at a good tuition rate, it can't be beat. |
| Program Reputation | 5 | Again, UN-L is nothing amazing. It offers good value for the tuition and is respected in the Great Plains states. |
| Program Quality | 9 | UN-L is no Wharton School of Business. The MBA program maintains high standards and provides good professors. |
| Instruction | 9 | In many areas there is exceptional talent in the departments. In some areas, the English language skills of the professors is challenging! |
| How Difficult | 5 | There were a lot of Harvard business school cases. They required team effort and presentations - all good preparation for the real world of work. |
| Hands-On vs. Bookish | It truly depends on the subject. Some subjects lend themselves to "the book," others to "hands on." | |
| Schedule Flexibility | 5 | Pre- and post-sessions in the summer provide an excellent opportunity to get some extra hours under your belt. Due to the size of the student body, many classes are difficult to obtain. The drop and add process is a nightmare! |
| Academic Facilities | 9 | The library and staff is above average (I've attended other universities that did not provide the personal assistance that one can get at UN-L). Classrooms are cramped, hot and not up to date, but it is not an expensive university. Many professors are more interested in research and grant money, but then there are the exceptions who inspire one to learn and work. |
| Social Life | I was married, a grandmother and in my late 40's: I was hardly a social "butterfly." The Greeks at the school were active, as were the band members. Football players are given way too much status and perks. | |
| Placement Services | 10 | The job placement office does a good job of providing interviews from a variety of employers. Potential employers seek graduates from UN-L because of their small town backgrounds, morals, farm and ranch experience and ethics. |
| Alumni Network | I have no idea. I have never been contacted by the alumni office. I think it has a lot to do with the fact that I was a non-traditional student. |
