What do you consider the worst thing about University of Kansas? Why?

Jessica

The worst thing is if you are late on a payment, the amount you have to pay goes up significantly every month. It is hard to keep up with the bills and I feel like that distracts from my education.

The worst thing that occurs in our University and in many other places is the lack of a well rounded education. Although our schooling explains quite well and efficiently how to earn a living, how to build a career, or bread-oriented education. Our university as many other universities lack the proper method to instruct people to on how to live a better life in the sense of how to live in a family, how to understand and use this life, developing the proper character and attitude of people. In short our universities teach us to be sheep, not lions.

There seems to be more of a focus on athletics as a whole. There is no way to opt out of fees that support athletics. Additionally aid to help students find funding to continue their education no matter how well they perform in school is in dire shortage. If the school is willing to spend millions on the athletic program for a few students then it would seem reasonable to spend a few thousand to help student who are excelling.

i believe the worst thing about my school is the drinking. i myself have never drank before in my whole entire life and i believe drinking is one of the main reason people at this school do not succeed in what they want to do. binge drinking and underage drinking is a big problem as well at this school. its very easy for people to get into a bar or get a drink at a club using a fake id because people hear do not throughly check the id to make sure it is not a fake

The scholarship funding for average students such as myself. I really wouldn't call myself average, but it is impossible to find a scholarship for a white, female who economically grew up middle class. I am smart and driven, yet just because I am not a minority I can't find any scholarships that supports someone like me who wants to go above and beyond. Who wants to really make the most out of my college experience and work and try so that later I can succeed.

My school had poor academic facilities that were in need of rebuilding and renovation. While I believe the academics are excellent, the poor facilities really hindered the national prominance and rankings of the university and its schools. The facilities hinder the growth and excitement of the students.

The worst thing about the campus would be the hills! You definitely get your excersize walking to class but they have a great bus transit system that is free to all students so in reality its not that bad.

Christopher

The worst thing about the University of Kansas is the parking. Most Universities have this issue. Our parking department posts million dollar profits each year but they can't build another parking garage for some reason. Our campus continues to grow and grow yet they continue to take away more and more parking spaces.

Alicia

I would say that the only bad thing about the University of Kansas is the amount of students. Our largest lecture hall holds about 2,000 students which could make it hard for some students to learn. However, due to the amout of students on campus there is a lot of diversity at the University. There are many different people to learn about and work with. Although the busses on campus get crowded quickly its a unique experience to work and learn with so many different people.

The worst thing about KU is the fact that they are not non-traditional friendly. I probably only feel this way because I am a nontraditional student. Teachers seem to be more concerned about research than students.
