University of Kansas Top Questions

People who act like sheep and do not think for themselves.

There are many great things about my school, but the worst thing is the limited amount of financial aid and scholarships they provide for out of state students. It seems as though in order to receive a substantial scholarship one has to perform very well on the ACT (above 30). For those on the bubble with a 27 to 29 it is very hard to recieve a scholarship, even though the person may be deserving.

the food, because it tastes nasty.

My school is tremendous in many things that it does, however the worst thing has got to be the excessive use of alcohol on campus property. Whether it be in the dormitories, sorority and fraternity houses, or even on-campus apartments, alcohol is present everywhere a student goes and can pervade their lives to the point that it becomes almost unbearable. I don't feel that it is necessary for alcohol consumption to exist to this extent on campus property out of respect for those who do not enjoy the same vices as others.

Because it is such a large school, people can keep to themselves and not go out of their way to be friendly.

There really is not anything bad except large lectures..

The worst thing about my school is that not all of the buildings are connected, which is a pain in inclimate weather, but it's not that big of a deal.

The University of Kansas is has around 20,000 undergraduate students and a campus that stretches all across Lawrence. For a freshman on foot this can be pretty daunting. Many times during my first semester I felt overwhelmed by the sheer mass of the public university lifestyle. Getting to class involved a ten minute bus ride not to mention waiting in the cold. Meeting up with friends in the library became a version of lost and found. Sometimes there were just so many people in my classes I felt like I was pushed to the back.

The worst thing about my school would have to be the tuition it is expensive.

The worst aspect of The University of Kansas is out of state tuition. My tuition for four years is terribly high for my families income and family situation. Though I am getting some financial aid and getting some scholarship, I still need to receive more to be able to continue my education at this school. Unfortunately, with going to such a large school, many of the scholarship opportunites are taken before I see or hear about them. I wish that there were more scholarship opportunites and a better way of notifying the student body about them.
