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

Nikhil

At times it does seem like The University of Kansas can be overcrowded especially when trying to catch the buses that go to the dorms.

Although I am proud to be a Jayhawk, there is one big problem that needs to be adressed: The standards for admission to KU are unnecessarily low. Many of my peers are irrresponsible and obviously not competent enough to attend the university. I believe that it would be to KU's benefit to raise their standards so that the school is taken more seriously natinwide. We have a great school with incredible resources and facilities, but some individuals do not deserve the privilage of utilizing them.

The size of the introductory classes makes you feel anonymous.

The worst thing about KU is in my opinon the cost of attendence. There are a lot of students here that come from wealthy families and have no worries other then school work. That is exactly how it should be when you are 19-20 years old. For me, I often get more stressed out about if I will be able to pay my car payment or gas rather then if I did well on a paper. I guess the saying is true that you get what you pay for.

Since I have only completed the first semester as a freshman at Kansas University, I haven't found something worst about my school, besides the weather, the university itself is wonderful. The campus is gorgeous, the people are friendly, and the professors are brilliant. I absolutely love the challenege that KU provides the students because it helps motivate me towards success. If I had to choose something, it would probably be the distance from home even though I must make Lawrence my new home now.

Barbara

There is a heavy focus on athletics instead of academics. Not all of the academic departments are supportive. The school isn't set up for nontraditional students.

Erica

It sounds petty, but the thing I like least about my school is parking for off-campus students. The geographical layout of our school makes it difficult for students (like myself) who choose not to take the bus to get to the main part of campus.

Alycia

The worst thing about this school is the focus on fraternity an sorority organizations, an the lack of diverse student groups. I would like to see more focus by the university on creating school funde clubs for different hobbies such as art or cooking.

Kate

KU definitely has an alcohol problem. We had several deaths that were alcohol related last year. This year, the University has tried to start alcohol education programs to help the problem but the culture here and the number of bars around mean it is unlikely to change.

Karlyna

That the campus is so big so you don't get a lot of one on one attention like community colleges or high school
