University of Nebraska At Omaha

I’m a current Mav. I enjoy the university in most aspects except one. PARKING. Parking at UNO is a bigger joke than the amount I have to pay in student fees. You’d think that if I’m shoveling out over 200 dollars a year for a parking pass it would maybe entail a parking spot. But no every day I have class I get in my car and prepare for the war zone I’m about to enter. Savages in V8s fly around the parking lots chomping at the teeth for a spot and if you don’t get über aggressive you will be left parking in a couple towns over and shuttling down to campus. Moral of the story great university if you don’t mind adding an hour of your day to dedicate to parking.

UNO is a fantastic university. Not only do they offer an excellent education for undergrads and grad students alike, it’s surprisingly affordable. As a alum, I could’t be more proud to see how it’s grown in the last few years.
During my undergrad years in the early to mid 2000s, I spent my time bumping between classes, buildings and, for a while there, majors. There was always a friendly face, it seemed, willing to strike up a conversation in front of the student center or library or just waiting outside of a classroom.
Back then, UNO was easing out of being an urban commuter campus. The first rounds of dorms had been built and the campus was just starting to come to life with around the clock amenities. Still, the school was entrenched in Division II sports, living in the shadow of UNL and the Huskers just a few miles away in Lincoln.
Now, UNO has a full fledged D-​I sports program, riding high off of the hockey team’s first appearance in the Frozen Four. Both the Dodge Street and Pacific Street campuses are rapidly filling in parking lots with new educational, administrative, recreational and residential buildings, anchored on the south end with Aksarben Village and the soon-​to-​be-​opened Baxter Arena.
At the end of my time at UNO, I wound up with an English degree and a great job shortly after graduating. I couldn’t ask for much more than that.
Funny thing, as good as I had it, there’s no better time than right now to be a Mav!

I used to refer to this school as the University of No Opportunity. There were a few other ways to call it, but mostly it was because I found it funny that a guy I knew in California (whom I didn’t like) graduated from here.
Fast forward to the countless times I have been here. Either for an awards banquet, Wifle’s undergrad, and even now with Citizen’s Academy, this campus is getting with the times.
My favorite building used to be the Fine Arts building because of the architecture, but I am really liking the newer library or the Community Education Center. The addition of the South side buildings, dorms, and inclusion of AkSarBen village with the new arena really brings UNO into the current day and a bit future forward.
Most people have only herd (get it?) of the Mavericks for hockey, but they once had a football team too.
If you live in Omaha and do not want to leave for school, this is a great place to get smartened, but really you should go somewhere else. If you are out of state, give the Mavs a chance. You never know who you will meet. Even Warren Buffet went here. See how that worked for him?

I love UNO. Originally, I attended UNL but I’m glad I transferred!
I don’t even know where to start. Maybe the best way is to express my top 5 favorite things:
1. Great resources — such as the math labs, accounting labs, science labs, etc., — which allow you to succeed and seek help if you need it and it’s free (well, at least no additional cost).
2. Shuttles. Both from Crossroads (free parking) and Pacific Campus so you don’t have to find additional parking.
3. Sushi and Wohlner’s sandwiches! Although rather pricey, at least it’s there to enjoy.
4. Professors — wonderful, resourceful, and intelligent. Maybe it’s just CPACS, but I have no complaints. These professors are passionate and helpful.
5. Beautiful campus! Clean and well kept. Even in the winter, they salt the sidewalks so I don’t feel endangered. Trees everywhere and many different sculptures and little garden areas. I love it.
Only cons is parking; parking absolutely sucks especially between 11 – 1. There are parking structures and parking at the churches across the street, but who wants to walk? But, this place is very affordable, financial aid office is awesome and resourceful, and there’s always something to do (clubs, events, etc). If you’re gonna stay in Omaha, be a Mav!

Loved this university.
The PKI staff are the best.
Received two degrees from here and both experiences have been excellent.

My alma mater and I’m proud to be a Mav. I loved all my professors with the exception of one Geology prof and an Art prof (I won’t bother giving their names). That’s just part of school… you can’t like all your professors.
Math teachers can be tough on below-​average students. You might think Cultural Diversity classes are the biggest waste of your time but you know what, that’s also one of the easiest ways to get an A — if you put enough work. It’s neat how they send you a letter and post your name on their website if you make it on the dean’s list.
I was an Art student and loved every moment of it. I’ve met a lot of great people. Gary, Henry and Dave are all awesome professors and I enjoyed their classes. I love the Art building and Durham.
Parking can be terrible at times. I’ve had my fair share of parking tickets…$ 300 in one semester. Campus security is more concerned about issuing tickets rather than security. Got my tire cover stolen at the parking lot one year… and my entire bumper another year and they have no way of tracking it.
Overall, I loved my college life at UNO. I’m not sure what people are complaining about but if you hate paying for college tuition then don’t bother going to college at all. Problem solved! You could study in other states… i. e: Nevada and pay more and get extremely poor quality education. You can be on the President’s list and you won’t get a letter or anything!

Went here for my graduate degree. I found professors i truly liked but felt over all it lacked in allowing students to use critical thinking skills and certainly no one had heard of or used the Socratic method of teaching. While there was information to be disseminated and regurgitated, the rigidity of thought and agenda left no room in the curriculum for free thinking

Beautiful campus, happened to drive through while visiting family here, and found it. I love to explore the campus and found this place to be very fresh, kept and crowded.

I finished my degree in 2005 at UNO (at 32) and really, when I started I just figured it would be a better school then the local «diploma mills».
It turns out that it is a really great school. With one glaring exception (if you are in CS or MIS you’ll know who he is) my instructors were great; very knowlegable, very fair, and very enthusiastic.
When coupled with very affordable tuition this school is a great option.
