school spirit

At KU there are no limits to what one can do. KU has something for students intersted in sports, politics, government, the arts, and even teaches over 40 languages. There are numerous department internships and an outstanding variety of housing options on campus. I live in one of 12 scholarship halls on campus. In the Union there is always something going on, movies, talks, free bowling, meetings for student organizations. There is always something going on around campus and because we are so close to historic downtown, many students spend free time enjoying the nationally renowned down town.

I think the best thing about this school is that students are able to become as involved as they want to be. Students must take the initiative to get to know their professors and conduct research in their field, but KU offers many opportunities for those students who are willing to go the extra mile.

I enjoy most of my classes and my teachers but I really like the amount of other activities that one can participate in. I am in a sorority and I enjoy the greek life a lot. I feel that through the greek life I have not only made many friends but also am involved in the community in many was. I enjoy being a part of Natural Ties, a service program. I think that in being in a sorority I am able to interact with many different people and I get the cahance to interact with all the houses.

The University of Kansas offers a fun and culturally diverse campus! I am a non-traditional student and was very anxious about college, but KU has made me feel welcome and accepted! The teachers are helpful and make themselves available to students. In my short time at KU, I have overcome my worries and become a proud and successful Jayhawk!

The University of Kansas is a great environment to go to college. It has a very open atmoshphere and everyone is interested in learning there. KU has great traditions like "Jayhawk Generations" which tracks those families who have sent more than one generation to this university. I am a 4th generation Jayhawk and am living the academic traditions and other great traditions like KU Basketball for the past 100 years! I am a Freshman but because I took some AP classes in High School I am already taking sophmore level pre-business classes. Rolk Chalk Jayhawk Go KU!

My favorite aspect of the University of Kansas is the Honors Program. This program encompasses all interests from sciences to literature all the way to art. The professors of my honor classes are brilliant. They have a strong background in their field. I have had some of the most philosophical yet challenging talks in my honors discussion. For example, I looked at Lord of the Flies as humans are inherently savage in high school. However, in college I was challenged by my professors and saw the children merely imitating adults. I have grown mentally from this program.

Outstanding atmosphere and tradition. Athletics and academics both breed this atmosphere.

It's location is close to where I live and work full-time. It also offers an undergraduate degree in a subject in which I am interested and hope to use in the future. A number of the classes are offered at a convenient time since I work full-time during they day.
