University of Kansas Top Questions

The worst thing is how superficial some of the other students are. I have found it hard to make real new friends because many of the students only care about partying. It's a little hard to feel completely comfortable in a school where you don't have a group of friends to interact with.

I don't think there is anything bad at the University of Kansas, but the high tuition is definitely a negative factor. As a full time student paying for college out of my own pocket, it can sometimes be rough having to work long hours at a job to make ends meet.

I don't know of anything I would consider bad about KU.

Some of the work is pretty tough, however I am still adjusting from high school.

The worst thing about this school, is because it is so large (approximately 26,000 undergraduates), sometimes the class sizes are quite large. For example, some of the classes can be up to 1,000 students. This can be difficult for student who prefer small class sizes. Although there are alternatiive classes that are smaller. Also, for student who are elibile, the honors program offeres small classes with individualized teaching. Therefore, even though the large class size can deter some students, there are ways to getting a class size that will help an individual student's learnign ability.

The worst thing about KU is that they offer Saturday labs for certain chemistry classes and it is a real bummer for those that have to go to school 6 days a week.

Size of general education classes are huge.

Teachers, they don't know what they are talking about most of the time.

Even if you buy a parking permit, you are not guaranteed a spot to park on campus. The school over sells permits and often times I am late to class just because it is so difficult to park.

Buses not on schedule always - needs to be organized better.
