Rating 4 out of 5
The University of Louisville is an amazing school. There are some aspects like their courses, labs, and student resources that I really enjoy! They have an amazing food selection and an expensive meal plan to be able to enjoy those amenities. The things I would like to see change are the financial resources and staff that work for the university as well as some of the requirements for change. Most of the office staff that I have dealt with are a bit impatient when I am just looking for some guidance but if that is my only complaint I'd say they are doing just fine.

Louisville is a great school! With the amount of support and help from this school there’s no way anyone wouldn’t want to come here! Great professors, staff, students, and the community around us.
