What I wanted to do with my life!

How important Greek life is here

I was well informed before I came to KU but I wish I had taken advantage of freshmen scholarships. Out of the 40 languages taught at KU Romanian is not one of them. However, I am studying advanced level Arabic and I am very happy.

I would have liked to known more about scholarships and I would have liked to had more time to speak with my advisor. I think that in being able to meet with my advisor I could make more profitable descisions that could help me towards my goal in graduating. I was put into classes that I did not need and although I protested I did not know much being a freshman so now I have taken unnecessary classes.

It is a very large school in terms of the amount of students, so make sure you get involved in some kind of club, group, campus job or a small group activity. It helps shrink the size of the school and gives you someplace to start. Other than that, it's an incredible school and very real. What you see on tours and tv is very realistic to what it's like.
