What should I know about UofL students?
According to Admissions, as of fall 2008, total student enrollment was 21, 761, with minority students accounting for twenty-two percent of the student population. (Minority students are defined as “non-white.”) The male: female ratio is 48:52, and the average ACT/Converted SAT score is 24.4. In fall 2008, 2, 580 students were classified as “first-time in college.” This includes 2,544 first-time freshmen. Approximately 62% of all incoming first-year students live in University housing. Additionally, a number of UofL students participate in a program called Metropolitan College, in which they earn partial tuition by working for the UPS Next Day Air operation. Most of these students take classes between 5 p.m. and 10 p.m., and work 15-20 hours per week at UPS between 10 p.m. and 4 a.m.
