University of Kansas Top Questions

Fun to be around.

Everyone at KU is always willing to help and so nice and accepting.

Usually we do not talk to the person we do not know, just go to class and learn, exept there is a disccusion. They are all hard working students and well mannered.

An interesting diacotomy of soroity girl/frat boy and hippi with a few other varieties mixed in; thus, not very motivated but very very libral.

fun to be with and academicly focused

Unique, diverse, and committed to learning and having fun.

There are a lot of groups on campus that try to make you listen to them on Wescoe Beach; they're usually pretty friendly and will go away when you do not seem interested in the things they are trying to talk you about. A student who is very shy and timid will feel out of place at KU. There are so many people here and someone who does not talk will be lost in the crowd and suffocated with all of their surroundings. Most students wear t-shirts and jeans to class. There are the occasional people who like to dress up while attending their 8:00am classes, but they are basically trying too hard because people don't care what you look like that early in the morning. I don't know about the dining halls because I cook for myself in my scholarship hall. Students here are very aware but they are not all predominantly left or right. They are very diverse and have many different opinions. Some students talk about what they'll earn; they are usually those who are only in for college for money.

Most people from KU seem to be pretty open-minded about things. They respect you for decisions you've made (unless you're in a frat and have decided to not drink or sleep with 10 girls in one weekend). There are many different clubs and organizations that help to promote interaction with students of different culture. There seems to be lots of asians. KU seems to be a very liberal campus. and for the most part, students here seem to be in school for learning, besides the greeks.

There is everykind of person I think I could imagine at KU. I can't think of someone that would feel out of place here, except maybe a country, hick farmer. Most students wear tshirts and sweats or jeans, or a hoodie to class. Like tend to attract like, but I personally, talk to all different types of people.

The student body at KU is very diverse but in ways that aren't always on the outside. We do have a BSU organization on campus, but compared to other universities, our African American student population isn't very high. We do encourage multiculturalism through groups such as HALO and Hillel. Also, we have a high involvement in the LGBT group. Students wear very casual clothes to class that sometimes border on the verge of sloppy. It's not uncommon to see people in PJ pants or sweats on a regular basis. Theoretically, they're focusing more on school than their looks, but realistically, they're probably just recovering from the night before.
