10 Things That Totally Suck at The University Of Nebraska Lincoln

Coming into college, I was stoked to be attending the University of Nebraska Lincoln. My whole life I lived and grew up in a family where football was huge. And, as many already know, Nebraskans know how to enjoy a good ol’ Husker football game. This was just one of the many things I was looking forward to about attending this school. As I’ve lived in Lincoln and attended UNL, I’ve grown to love this school and area more and more, and there aren’t a lot of things I can complain about. However, there a few attributes UNL has that suck! So, if you’re thinking about coming to UNL, are currently enrolled, or are even an alumni, take a look at these 10 things that totally suck at the University of Nebraska Lincoln.

1. No Canes in the Union

Okay, don’t get me wrong, there’s some pretty delicious food places in the Union. But, what’s better than Canes?! I mean, you can only have so much Runza before even the smell of it makes you want to throw up. On the other hand, you can never have too much Canes.

2. Lack of snow days

I’m from Minnesota, so I know what a lot of snow looks like. I also know how annoying it is to have like 10 feet of snow, but still having to go to school in it. But Nebraska, they get crazy winds and ice! That’s just shitty of the school to make us walk and go to class in, and probably the worst of the things that suck at the University of Nebraska.

 

3. Dry campus

We’re in college, c’mon!!

4. Greek Life

Coming into this school, they never really tell you how big Greek Life is. . . well apparently everyone and their mother were, or are, somehow involved in Greek Life. Alpha, Delta, Omega, Sigma, Kappa, Chi, whatever.

5. Hawkeyes

Need I say more?

6. Parking

Parking just about sucks anywhere you go. There’s never a spot near campus, unless you show up at the crack of dawn. And the parking lots we do have are a hassle to get in and out of. There’s way too many people, and dumbasses who don’t know how to park, in such a small area.

7. Politically uneducated students

I’m not going to get into politics, but it’d be nice if the students here actually had some knowledge of how politics work before they open their mouths and set up booths outside the Union spoutin’ off false information and (literally) crying about who won the election, and how it’s “unfair.” Grow up, Lincoln.

8. Sports after football

What other sports do we even have?

9. Corn fields. Everywhere.

Drive five miles in any direction away from Lincoln. Corn fields.

10. Weather

The weather here is so unpredictable. I’m pretty sure we’ve seen all of the seasons in just one week before.
