University of Kansas Top Questions

Friendly and fun to be around; also very helpful.

They are friendly, and usually always ready to help you if needed.

My classmates are kind, intellegent, fun, and very willing to share their knowledge.

I feel like racial, religious, LGBT, and other groups on campus band together to support each other. There are lots of groups people can join that would pertain to their interests and it's a way of fitting in and feeling accepted somewhere. I don't know that any student would really feel out of place at KU, I feel like the student body is a very diverse student body and most everyone can find a place to fit in at. Most students wear comfortable clothing like t-shirts and jeans or sweatpants and others dress up and accessorize.

I have honestly never experienced any racial tension on campus but that doesn't mean its non-existent. At certain bars you can tell when some of the snobby students don't think you belong there but it hasn't ruined my experience in college one bit. There are so many different groups of students on campus I would find it hard to believe that somebody couldn't find a place to feel comfortable in. As long as you don't like Missouri you'll fit right in. There is a big rivalry between our schools which is fueled by a predominantly Kansas populated student body. Others come from all over; usually from Chicago, Minnesota, California, Texas, Nebraska and St. Louis. As far as campus apparel I have seen so many different outfits it would be impossible to list them all. When I am getting ready for class I grab a pair of athletic shorts, KU t-shirt and my flops or Air Force's and head to class ready to learn! I don't judge by clothing because everyone is different and has a different style, that's why we are so diverse in personalities.

The only type of student who could feel out of place is somebody who is not very sociable. Increasing numbers of students come from the greater Kansas City area & Midwest though there is a wide variety of international students. Most prevalent background on campus are middle-upper class white.

My classmates are very friendly and helpful.

They are friendly people, looking to leave with more than they came in with.

My classmates are dedicated to their subject matter. I feel like they are more dedicated in general because they are engineers and therefore are more challenged in the classroom. We study hard in groups and find ways to spend time letting off steam after we finish our work. I think all of my classmates will be likely to find great jobs after college.

My classmates are amazing and I have several of them in most of my classes that are related to my major which makes it easier for me to connect with them and make long lasting connections.
