Ruth Woolley Student at This School - Grad Year 2014
I am a current student at the University of Kentucky located in Lexington, KY. I am a non traditional returning student and have found UK to a great school. The campus is easy to navigate and is aesthetically pleasing. The student activities board is always having one event or another.
Wanda Wilson Alumnus - Grad Year 1984
The University had a great program geared toward adult returning students. Specifically assigned faculty and staff very effectively helped those students who were married, raising children, working full-time jobs and who did not live on campus. I was glad for the special treatment.
