I'm flying into Omaha bright and early, then making the drive to Lincoln. What do I need to see to give me a good idea on what UNL is all about? I'm really excited to go. I've been wanting to attend UNL for a while. Nebraska was kind of a late bloomer for me. I've always loved Nebraska athletics, but I never really thought about the idea of going to school there. I always felt pressure to go to Baylor since my family has all attended the university, but when I found out that they would be open to whatever my decision was, I decided to go elsewhere. I was set to go to the University of North Texas, but I decided to halt that idea to come visit Nebraska. This will probably be my only chance to see the school before I officially decide and I'm hoping to transfer in January. I will be applying as a transfer student, so yea...Let me know what I need to see!

If you do attend, there's a very short adjustment period. There's nothing super flashy about Lincoln. That can be taken in a good way. You have all your bars, restaurants that cater to college kids (i.e. prices, hours, etc.), lots of women, greek system, cheap rent.

It's a solid University...........that is until you realize we have football team.

When it comes to college, any of these big Universities are great schools, in the end, it's what you put into that's really going to count.

 
I am starting looking at colleges, is it wrong for the main reason for wanting to go to a college is sports even though you are not good enough to play there

The atmosphere is one thing. But in the end, go to the place that will be the best for you. Loving Husker football doesn't mean UNL is right for you. Depends also on the other places you're looking at. In the end, academics should supersede sports loyalties.

 
Thanks for the replies, fellas. I think UNL is the place for me, so I'm pretty excited. This trip (hopefully) will confirm my original thoughts. I'm ready to official become a part of the Husker Nation.

Not really....I love big schools. Never see the same person in two classes..more girls....more beer.

My final choices came down to Penn St., Syracuse and UNL because they had good athletics...it's fun to root for your team./

So how did the trip go man?? In the end just go with your heart. And Im thinking it bleeds Husker Red!! :w00t

 
^ Man, the trip was awesome. Definitely set itself a part. My mom was kind of against me going that far from home, but after seeing the campus and all, she was really excited for me. I'll definetly be going to Nebraska. I'll go for the second semester since I missed the deadline for the first so yea...I'll be in Lincoln at the beginning of January.
