University of Kansas Top Questions

A person who does not want the full college experience involving academics, extracurriculars and social events because The University of Kansas effectively balances all of these elements to create a wonderful college atmosphere.

I feel that the type of person that should not attend this school is the type of person who detracks from the overall friendly and open learning environment. A person who's purpose is to only take away from the other students oppertunities of knowledge and learning.

Do not attend if you do not like a big school, some of your classes will have over 200 students but others only 15. School does good job of picking which classes are large though. (math and english classes are guaranteed to be small).

KU is not situated in Manhattan, Chicago, San Francisco, and it shouldn't be suppsed that the pace in Lawrence, Kansas is anything like those cities. We are quiet, liberal bicyclers situated amidst fields and grasslands. KU is not for the haute couture, though we know what that means, and neither are we for the heartless. Lawrence and KU pride themselves on being socially responsible, both on personal and ecological levels, so gas guzzling, alligator purse holders should leave their animal-tested make-up in L.A.

People who are focused soley on partying. We study hard and we party hard at KU.

You should not attend this school if you don't like being around a lot of people. It is a large University, it is still easy to enroll in small classes, but if you are scared to be around a lot of people this probably isn't the place for you. Also, it is a very challenging, quick paced school. You really have to stay on top of your work to do well...there are no easy As. I would say that KU is probably not for the timid, outgoing people would do well here, but overall accepting of all.

Any person who has a problem with a liberal mindset. The campus is wonderful and accepting of almost anyone except conservatives.

If you don't have enough self control to keep yourself away from the parties to study, this isn't the place for you. We lose a quarter of our freshman class each year for a reason which usually involves late nights and lots of alcohol. If you can stay focused on your school work as needed (or aren't really a partier), then no worries. Also, it can be hard to get into small classes until your sophomore year or later. If you want a lot of attention from a professor, you may have to work for it.

I don't believe there is a type of person that shouldn't attend this school because there is such a wide variety of students. Kansas University has many international students I have ever seen, and so many different clubs or activities which involves many different types of people. The community welcomes every person who enters and is always willing to help others, I don't believe there could be one person who shouldn't attend at this school. Once you become a Jayhawk, you become one with everyone as a loyal Jayhawk student.

Someone who wants to balance their school work and social life. Great place to go for an all around college experience!
