University of Kentucky

Transportation

The do have shuttles that pic you up from certain places and take you to places on their route. The also have Cats Cruiser which is used at night to get around safely instead of walking around campus by yourself at night.

Campus Housing

The housing of most of the dorm is very small. I lived in an all girl dorm and had a little more room than most people, but the other dorms were not anything to brag about. You had room for the basics, nothing extra, and all the building were extremely old. The cleaning staff spent more time on their cell phones having personal conversations than actually cleaning the bathrooms. Me and my roommate never left food out and we constantly took our trash out, but we had a cockroach incident twice the entire year. The guest rules are also ridiculous. We are in college and they treat us like middle school students. Majority of the dorms you can only have guest until midnight during the week and they can only stay the night Friday 12pm-Sunday 12am. The RAs constantly love writing people up for exhibiting what they call "drunken behavior" which leaves people feeling as if it is better to stay out all night than return to the dorms and get in trouble. FixIt, which is who you call for any maintenance issues responds in a timely manner most of the time, but they are not always helpful.

The Scoop

Of course the basketball scene is a huge part of the school. Between entering drawings to win tickets to the game or seeing the players around campus, it is all exciting. 2011 State Street incidents (Project Lex) was a once in lifetime experience. The atmosphere of so many people on one street and things constantly being burned at any minute was worth having a front row seat. Although it may have gotten out of control at certain times, it was truly exciting.
