University of Kansas Top Questions

I tend to stay away from these groups because I honestly do not have time to offer them. Otherwise, I would jump right in. A student that doesn't want to get involved or doesn't want to meet new people everyday. Students wear whatever they please. They may wear pajamas or be all dressed up for whatever reason. It's a wide range. Students interact with one another no matter what; if there is one common bridge, then they usually take advantage of it. The shy ones and then the rest. Usually most of the tables are connected so that more people can join. Most KU students are from Overland Park or Olathe. A lot of them are "JoCo Brats," so they do come from an upper-middle class background. Every student group that I'm involved in tries to get us involved with the election. They always keep us updated, which is really nice. The students are predominantly liberal. Being an engineer, we do, because we also bitch and moan about how much work we have to do. One day, however, it will be worth it when we are making the big bucks.

I've met many people from all of those groups. People are pretty accepting. No student. Sweatpants, sweatshirts, jeans, tennis shoes, etc. Very casual. Yes. Nerds, frat-esque people, artsy people, Christians. Kansas, Johnson County. Middle class. Some of them. Mixed. Some of them, especially the business majors.

I love all of the people at KU. There are not specific types of students here. I can honestly say I've met every type of person here. I LOVE everyone here and I have met the best friends that I know I will know for life.

I don't know anything aobut student body.

The best thing about KU is that is proud to be different. Lawrence is known as a little spec blue in a sea of red. In other words, Kansas is known to be very conservative...except in Lawrence. And we are proud of it. Another example is gay pride week. There are events hosted by Queers and Allies. Rainbow flags line the campus boulevard. Everyone celebrates how different people are which unites us all. That may sound contradictory, but it makes sense.

I swear, there's a support group for everything on campus. No one should feel left out, unless they're completely inept or completely anti-social. In the latter's case, college may not be the best bet. You can wear whatever you want to class. I wear heels everyday, others wear flip-flops. It's the beauty of finally being all grown up--Mummy doesn't have to pick your clothes out for you in the mornings anymore. I don't eat in the dining hall, thank God, so I couldn't describe it for you. But I know the food sucks. Most KU students are from Kansas--go figure, although there are a lot of foreign kids, too. The whole diversity thing is popular here, although, it being Kansas and all, KU has a tough time bringing them here. Left, left, and more left. It's Lawrence, after all. What the crap? KU students have better things to talk about than how much money they make. It's called a life, and for most students, that involves booze, not a job.

KU is very accepting of all cultures and religions. An intollerant person would or narrow minded person would feel out of place on campus. Most students are very fashionable. Most KU students are from Johnson County. Most students come from wealthy families. Many students are politically active, but we still have our share of appathetics. They are predominatnly left. People do consider what position they will be in financially one day.
