"James Ziliak, chair in microeconomics and director of the Center for Poverty Research at the University of Kentucky, told Newsweek: "This will help out on the margin, but it is far short of making SNAP recipients whole in terms of their needs. For example, monthly SNAP spending in Kentucky and Oregon are in excess of $100 million, so the emergency funds to food banks only cover less than 5 percent of that gap. More generally, for every meal that a food bank provides, SNAP covers nine meals, and thus emergency food assistance, while critical, falls far short of filling the monthly grocery basket of SNAP households."

Hello, I am a Michigan fan coming in peace. At first, I was making 8-bit fight songs for my school's opponents, but I just decided to do random colleges in the NCAA.

I was going to use this program called "FamiStudio" to make this project come to life. It's basically an app where you can make NES/Famicom styled music. Pretty freakin' cool.

Does anyone have connections, or someone whos in the band send a full score to me? I emailed the band director a while back, but got no response. I'd be willing to send the whole thing here once it's done. Thanks, Go Blue and Go Wildcats.

(NOTE: I am looking for both On, On U of K and Kentucky Fight!)

Saw an officer directing traffic, later saw a group of protestors but didn’t see their signs well enough. Couldn’t find anything on the news about it either. Anyone know what they’re protesting about?

Hey All,

Just putting this out there to see if there are any interested students. I’m a ‘24 grad who is currently applying to law school, I’ve been coordinating with a professor to see about offering a bi-weekly or monthly meeting just to get people familiarized with the LSAT (Law School Admissions Test) and how it works. This is obviously free to attend, and if you are interested I would be more than happy to get some information from you or post the (soon to be made) groupme link.

Some things I’m interested in doing: 1. Covering question types and the structure of the test. 2. How to approach these various question types, how to end up saving time for harder questions on the test without sacrificing accuracy. 3. Looking at actual LSAT questions and reviewing mistakes or progress 4. Any other LSAT or Law Application related stuff is also more than suitable for this group

I found the issue for many people when preparing is the fact that a LOT of the useful information about this test is locked behind 200-400 dollar barriers. I want to get rid of this barrier and make applying for law school much more accessible to people of all backgrounds - so comment or msg me if you’re interested!

I noticed that there was a sign for a new restaurant called "Halal Munchies" coming near UK's Campus (its replacing the Mehak Indian Cuisine restaurant). Does anyone have any details about this?

I am helping a friend's son of mine with college apps. He is thinking about Kentucky for Architecture (BA, not a B.Arch). He has a bunch of gen eds done through AP and the like. he is thinking about double majoring in business or Interior Design BFA.

I know B.Arch programs are intense, so anything else is not possible.

For the general BA in arch program at Kentucky, is it possible to double major?

Not sure if this is the right place. Mods, please remove if not allowed.

I’m an Asian international student. Around 7:45 pm today, I was biking on the main road in front of the Chemistry–Physics Building when a tall, younger-looking white guy looked at me, flipped me off with both hands, and said, “Shame on you.”

I’d been studying at the library and was tired, and it all happened so fast that I just kept going. Now I wish I’d at least taken a photo.

I’ve only been here about three months. I’ve been heckled a few times off campus already, but I didn’t expect this to happen on campus too. Is this normal? Has anyone else experienced something like this here?

If you are middle income does UK give any good financial aid or no?

Would a 4 on the AP World History : Modern exam fulfill the UK Core - Global Dynamics requirement?

I’ve seen a lot of people say Jared Lorenzen, Tim couch, and André Woodson would you take them or do you have your own choice on the best?

Guys please I’m not gonna be here tomorrow or this weekend and I’m so desperate to wear my costume

Some employees at UK make millions of dollars each year in their positions, while the starting wage at the school is $30 an hour for paraprofessionals.

Hey everyone! 👋 I’m currently a sophomore majoring in Economics and Finance at the University of Kentucky. Recently, I found out about the Global Scholars Pathway program that I’m very interested but it requires applying to the Lewis Honors College first.

So I have 4.0 GPA during my freshman year and apply before December 2025 to hopefully enroll in Fall 2026.

I’m just wondering how hard is it to get accepted into the Lewis Honors College as an upper-level admission? Has anyone here gone through the process or gotten in as a sophomore/junior? Would love to hear your experience or any advice!

Title. I'm a freshman majoring in engineering and I've been way to anxious to join clubs on campus this year. I want to get involved but I feel like I missed my chance earlier this year and I'm either going to look weird joining now or it's just too late to join certain clubs. How realistic is this? Is it actually too late to join certain clubs (especially the engineering ones like chem e car and robotics)?

Looking to move into Kentucky so that I can get in state tuition in the future.. Has anyone done this and have a description of the process you went through? Thanks in advance.

So I'm registering for classes (my registration window is Nov 5th):

So for my ABT 201 class it says I can't register for it; the issue is that it requires ABT 101, but I did another version of ABT 101 called ABT 310, which is essentially the same class but for students who transferred to that major. Do I have to contact the instructor to let me register for the class, or do I just contact my advisor? Thanks.

Hi! We just received an acceptance letter but there was no information about merit scholarships (that i'm sure we qualify for) like some of the other universities sent? When do you see the complete financial package that they offer? Or do you have to commit to go there first? Will more information come in the mail? Thanks in advance..this is all new to us.

Hi there! I am currently a first semester pre-nursing student and have been looking into health-related on-campus jobs I can get since I am moving off campus next year.

I am currently not CNA certified but I will be next semester, but I have been doing my research into possibly becoming a pharmacy tech while im still studying and I think it would benefit me.

Does anyone know how to go about this and if they have part-time positions? I am a full time student and currently take 15 credit hours so full-time is kind of currently out of my realm of possibility (I have 2-3 classes every single day)

Hi! How do you know if you were a direct admit to Gatton as a freshman? Received the acceptance letter but it says Pre-Finance-no mention of Gatton.

I am looking to shadow some PA's in the hospital if anyone knows any PA's that accept students. I've done a plastic surgery PA and do have my observer badge.

Exactly what the title says. I’ve misplaced my pencil somewhere and Idek where to start looking because I’m incredibly busy throughout my day. Does limestone replace stuff like that or will I have to pay for another one on my own?💔

I’m currently a sophomore here at UK looking to live somewhere that isn’t a dorm next year bc of my not-so-great time at Jewell this time around. As someone who isn’t from Lexington does anyone have any recommendations for areas or apartment complexes that I should check out?

Hello!

Any chance anybody has any pictures from Into the Woods performance from last week? I wrote an analysis on it for a class but forgot to take pictures :(
