UNL is the only Nebraska college or university to make the list.
Affordability matters to everyone. So if you know a high school senior, encourage her/him to apply to UNL.
And to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) by April 1.
In-state students may even qualify for free tuition up to 15 credit hours per semester through the CollegeBound Nebraska program. But they have to complete the FAFSA to qualify.
“The University of Nebraska–Lincoln is a wonderful school that allows a student to create one’s own destiny by supplying caring professors, ample opportunities for research and growth both academically and socially, in a college town environment second to none,” the Princeton Review editors wrote.

Here’s what a day in the life of UNL looks like
Better late than never, right?
One month ago today, on September 24, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln community shared 24 hours of life through social media. We called it #UNL24.
Here’s what we learned (or relearned):
1. The UNL community is filled with amazing stories from a variety of perspectives.
2. Barriers are low. People are so fluent in social media that inviting a university community to share stories around a simple (and fun) theme takes leg work but not much convincing.
3. The content people shared was powerful - both because so much of it was authentic to that person’s experience and resonated as such or because it was so weighted with emotion, particularly about that person’s connection to UNL.

If you like being high-minded about topics in music, UNL has the non-major programs for you. Classes include:
-Issues in Music and the Arts, Music and Film
-The Music Experience
-History of Rock Music
If you’ve got the itch to perform, your bases are covered there, too. UNL offers a multitude of seminars and ensembles, as well as the ability for non-music majors to participate in Campus Band, University Chorale and Varsity Men’s Chorus without auditioning.

#UNL students go to Buffett U. today
UNL business students can take a finance course called Investing the Buffett Way, and a select group of students from that class go to Omaha today to participate in Buffett U.
Each year, Warren Buffett (UNL ‘50) invites students from several universities to come to Omaha and spend a day picking his brain. Buffett, who earlier this week was honored by the White House with a Presidential Medal of Freedom - the nation’s highest civilian honor, always extends the invite to his alma mater.
Donna Dudney teaches the course Investing the Buffett Way, or Finance 463, and she sees students get much more out of their audience with the Oracle of Omaha than stock tips.
“When students go up to visit Buffett the thing that I’m always impressed about is a lot of the questions that students ask Buffett are not questions about investing at all,” said Dudney. “They are questions about life — the mistakes that he’s made, the guidelines that he would make for students as they start their careers, and how he decides to donate his money.
Dudney talks about the types of Buffett thinking covered in the course here.
