Urban excitement and heartland charm surround this historic university

Public Urban Mavericks Historic

Located right in the center of the largest city in the state, the University of Nebraska at Omaha serves as one of the region’s finest metropolitan universities, offering exceptional academic opportunities alongside the resources of the surrounding urban environment.

Bordered on the east and south sides by sprawling parks and golf courses, the campus is mostly surrounded by residential neighborhoods. Major shopping centers like the Crossroads Mall are clustered together just a few blocks to the west, and a small strip of popular bars and restaurants sits just off the northeast corner of campus at Underwood and 50th.

Apartments, condos, and rental houses are plentiful all around the university, so you’ll have countless options to suit your specific budget and lifestyle. Most of Omaha’s most popular attractions are a few blocks east, near the Missouri River—living near the UNO campus, you’re just a short drive away from the Old Market district, TD Ameritrade Park, and countless world-class restaurants, bars, and theaters.
