Student Housing in Lincoln, NE
About Student Housing in Lincoln
Lincoln, NE is Nebraska's capital and second-biggest city, a college town wrapped around the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and the gold-domed State Capitol that towers over the skyline. UNL pumps tens of thousands of students into the city, and you'll find them everywhere from the revitalized Haymarket district to the older streets of the North Bottoms across the 10th Street bridge. Downtown and the Haymarket carry the nightlife, civic festivals, and a farmers market, while Near South and Near East offer leafy blocks and historic homes. Green space is generous, with the Sunken Gardens, Antelope Park, and a citywide trail network. Saturdays in fall belong to Husker football, when Memorial Stadium fills and the whole town turns red.
