Sophomore: Southeast Community College has been a great experience. They have continued to help me be the best that I can be and has offered so many amenities to help further along my education. I loved having a smaller educational community that helped me feel like I wasn't getting lost in the crowd and at the same time having multiple opportunities that a larger school can offer! Southeast is great!... Read 397 reviews

  Rating 3.93 out of 5  401 reviews

Sophomore: I attended Northeast Community College's College Center in my hometown. I absolutely loved every single one of my teachers. They were very personable and helpful. Class sizes were small and I built relationships with all of my classmates. Northeast classes offer a variety of different people from a multitude of backgrounds and ages to contribute to the classroom discussions. This opened my eyes to so many other viewpoints. This being said my admissions counselor was not as helpful as I had hoped for. Although I feel my teachers prepared me for the furthering of my education, my admissions advisor did not prepare me for the continuation of my educational career. Thus, going on to pursue my bachelor's, I am behind in some areas. All in all, I definitely recommend Northeast to everyone looking for a college education. I feel it was the best decision I made coming out of high school. This college offered me an affordable education and good memories in the two years that I attended.... Read 401 reviews

The university has a lot of research opportunities, and being a psych student, has provided me with a truly enriching education. The faculty members have been great mentors, guiding me through my academic journey in psychology and inspiring me to push my boundaries and become more engaged. The campus life is great and there are many student organizations and activities that have allowed me to pursue my passions and make new friendships.

Overall, my experience at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln has helped shape me into a well-rounded individual ready for the future with confidence and purpose.... Read 2,823 reviews

  Rating 3.74 out of 5  673 reviews

Alum: What I liked about the University of Nebraska at Kearney is the small town feel it had in a growing relatively bigger city. Kearney had so much to offer for college students. From the Athletics, to the spacious campus, as well as the endless restaurants and beautiful Nebraska scenery in the surrounding areas. It is conveniently located right off the interstate, so it is easily accessible. As far as the curriculum, it is hands down the best bang for your buck for a University. It is part of the University of Nebraska system, so all of the professors are top tier and extremely knowledgeable. I had the experience of being on campus half of my time at UNK, and then remote for my last year at UNK. The transition to being remote was easier than I could have imagined with how well equipped my professors were. Bleed Blue & Gold, go UNK!... Read 673 reviews

Sophomore: Wayne State College has been successful in teaching me how to become an independent young adult. I enjoy the smaller classrooms and individual conversations we have as a class. Being in a smaller school is comforting and each class keeps each student involved. Wayne State provides access to many support systems. This is helpful as I suffer with more than one mental illness. The only thing I would change is being able to move in earlier as a returning student because I need time to get settled in before beginning classes. Overall, Wayne State College is an amazing college and I have enjoyed my experience so far.... Read 559 reviews

Sophomore: I attend Nebraska Wesleyan and I love my experience so far with the Communications department and Women’s Soccer! They do have a lack of diversity, because of the location and the cost of the school. I think besides lack of diversity it is a good school, just pretty expensive, so make sure to get your scholarships. Wesleyan does have great programs in each department and a lot of opportunities for study abroad, hands-on experience, foreign language, and things in the medical field.... Read 446 reviews

Graduate Student: Hello, My name is Sergio and I am a recent graduate of Mid-Plains Community college! I graduated with my two tear associates degree in science and have much experience with this school, both online and on campus. Most all the teachers take a particular interest on students and allows for a more familiar and friendly teaching experience. I rarely found it difficult to be able to speak to my professors or any staff as a matter of fact! Staff and facility are great f top tier performance and I have little to complain about. As for the physical school, I have no complaints either. A brand new building that is taken care of frequently and all informed problems are felt with remarkably fast. Many of my friends from other school envied how clean and modern Mid- Plains Community College at North Platte looked. I have much love for this schools and enjoyed every minute of my stay and experience. I would recommend this school to anyone that is looking for a two year degree!... Read 110 reviews
