University of Kansas Top Questions

I don't think there was anything that took me by surprise.

I had a pretty good understanding of campus before I came because my older brother came, but I guess it would be to just get involved as much as you can.

There is not much that I do not know about the school. I dedicated much of my junior and senior year looking for a college that offered my degree at a fairly decent price and had a program that I liked. The University of Kansas and my other school choices had similar academic plans for the degree I am pursuing. I chose the University of Kansas because its cost of tuition was dramatically less than the other schools that were my potential choices.

How to meet more people

nothing

1) Although their tuition is more expensive, private schools usually give more money in scholarships and grants (rather than large universities like KU that give more scholarship money to athletics and in-state attendees) 2) In addition to more difficult scholarships, KU ONLY allows undergraduates to receive loans under their PARENTS' names, putting an extreme burden on out-of-state parents 3) Preparation for graduate school is a VERY long process that should begin with becoming involved in research & related activities early in her academic career-- but thankfully this is easy b/c KU is a Tier I research university!

I wish i would know which bus goes where and where does it stop. I got few bad experiences that mistakenly went to somewhere i have no idea, and i got call my friends to pick me up.

How on your own you are, faculty are there to help and there is a community, but academically most people are fairly independent.

I wish I would have known that they weren't very good at giving out scholarships or financial aid of any sort.

I wish I had known about all the wealthier students who attend college here. I always thought everyone paid for their own college. I have met many people from Johnson County, KS who have never had a job in their lives, and whose parents are paying for their entire education.
