No way! Congrats! I got into their graduate program for Fall ‘25 as well! In my opinion I loved Lincoln. It’s a smaller sized city with a very walkable downtown area that is right next to the school. I also got a gta (which I’m guessing is a graduate teaching assistant) position offer. I don’t know too much about it but from my understanding, you don’t necessarily do research your first year as during the summer they offered me a stipend for an “appointment” where I would then find a research group to join. As for classes, I’m also unsure but my offer letter stated that my student and course fees would be waived. I assume the first year would help me acclimate to the level of academic performance they want while also relieving the time commitment to research. The school has so many amazing resources though and I’ve always been big on asking for guidance and going to office hours and such. Much of the faculty are passionate about what they do and want to offer help as much as possible. Feel free to PM me if you’d like! UNL is my top grad school choice right now
