Final comments
Local people know little but are very interested in other cultures. They are warm and open, easily inviting you over. Try to make friends with your profs (it doesn't take much) and they will even invite you for dinner. It was a great place to really get into the science without too many distractions.

I attended UNL for both of my Bachelor's and my Master's, and was impressed with the assistance from career services, different college advising offices, and the range of student organizations. First-year and transfer student programs were available for planning, financial, and career coaching.
