1. The copious amounts of corn

Our mascot is the Corn Husker, need I say more?

2. Tradition

From the Kissing Columns to the Iron Fence to the football program, UNL is all about tradition. And YOU can learn about these traditions and many more that make UNL unique.

3. Game day

Football is everything in Nebraska. There really aren't words to describe game day in Lincoln, I guess you will have to come here to figure it out. You become part of something that is bigger than yourself, or anything you have ever experienced. Win or lose, fans are still proud to call themselves the Huskers.

4. Memorial Stadium

I mean, have you seen it? It holds about 90,000 people at once, and is always sold out (over 340 consecutive games and counting), plus that's bragging rights to your other friends who go to other schools and think their program is huge.

5. The Zoo

Alright, so the Lincoln Zoo is kind of a let down unless you are under the age of 5... but lucky for us, the Omaha Zoo is right down the road!

6. The city

Lincoln is no NYC or anything, but it definitely has its charms. There are many cute stores to go to on weekend nights and to take your visiting friends to. Plus the architecture is amazing, so if you are into photography, finding people who would want to help model in you photo shoot should be easy.

7. The people

As an out-of-state student, I was nervous coming to college where most of the population was from Nebraska, but there was nothing to worry about. People here are so open and welcoming to you, out-of-state students have no trouble finding an amazing group of friends who become family over the next nine months.
