University of Kansas Top Questions

I love KU but coming from a very small school going to a very large one was a little stressful. They expect alot from you and they don't give you any breaks. It's hard work, that's one thing you should keep in mind but on the otherhand, in the end it will be very rewarding.

The cost of attendance is hard. As a working single woman, it's difficult for me to afford tuition, living expences, and books.

The worst thing about my school is the fact that it is not very racially diverse. I think this is the worst thing because it is important for all people to feel comfortable in their environment of learning. At my school, the african americans on campus are mainly athletes and this should not be teh case. 2.5{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of the population is dissatisfactory.

It has a way of making students feel like just a number because of the way they treat you (pretend nice treatment), and it seems as though it is just a business out to make money, like everyone's parents are paying for their kids school or something.

I live in Southern California and have to fly to and from my home to get to Lawrence Kansas. Lawrence Kansas breaks the streotype of the state of Kansas. The city is beautiful and is hilly, has big trees, has a lake on the campus and has a cool old downtown. Some people call it a flyover state (a state you fly over to go to cool states) but I think it is beautiful. It looks and feels more like a state like Wisconsin. Anyway, I will be going back and forth for four years until I graduate in 2014.

I consider that the University of Kansas does not give out enough scholarships and does not pay enough attention to their students to be the worst things about this school; they are more concerned about money than if their students graduate or not. There is enough money for them to give out more scholarships, but they do not.

The University of Kansas is primarily a basketball oriented school. I walked on for the football team and have realized that many of the fans are very "fair weather", meaning they only support when we are good. I do not believe that this is an acceptable way to go about things, and I believe that a school should come out to support their team in all sports no matter if they are good or bad.

Certain faculty- usually spend the least amount of time required for office hour help and taking questions in lecture

I consider the worst thing about my school the price of out-of-state tuition. I know that public universities usually always charge out-of-state students more, but as an out-of-state student myself, It's too high. I'm in a tight spot choosing between paying approximately $30,000 a year for college, or going to another school I know I wouldn't like near as much as KU. I'm going into debt as grants/scholarships and private funds are not nearly enough to cover these expenses. This bothers me quite a bit.

cultural diversity is low
