WHY UK?

In my college search process, the University of Kentucky was the most unique school visited. There’s something special about UK. I’ve never seen a school that cares so much for their students. UK supports you, no matter what you’re doing. Undecided or if you know exactly what you want to do, there’s people here who are willing to guide you every step of the way. If you come with an open mind, go to events or talk to someone in your classes, you will find the community meant for you. UK is setting me up for my career and with the connections, friendships and mentors I’ve found here - wouldn’t change it for the world.

At UK, we recognize that it’s not only what you learn, but where you learn.
