I'm attending school at the University of Nebraska - Lincoln. Ok, I admit, it is Nebraska. Not the best location.

Hmm... student organization activities aren't awful. They had a few decent bands come through (Switchfoot), a couple comedians (David Spade), and an author (Maya Angelou).

Uh... there's bowling, some restaurants, some bars (never been, not old enough).

They've got a few computer related groups (Husker Linux Users Group, for example), an anime group, and probably others. (Not sure about PERL, though.)

The program isn't stellar, but it's improving from what information I've gathered. As expected, the focus of the classes is Java. (It was C++ last year, when I was a freshman, but they just switched them over.)

Research opportunities... I have no idea, actually.

What I think: I like UNL, although most people would probably be driven nuts. Maybe it's just the T3 hooked up to the dorms I like so much. The atmosphere of Lincoln is friendly, and there's good people at the school. But if you live on the far West coast, it's most likely not the best choice.
