University of Kansas Top Questions

The variety of majors that are offered.

The atmosphere. The students here are serious about education but also know how to have a good time. KU has so much history and tradition that it is impossible not to get involved and enjoy your time here.

KU has always been my top choice, with amazing housing choices, outstanding academics, great basketball, the list goes on and on. One of my favorite things is that Lawrence is a KU and KU is Lawrence, they coincide with each other and it's an amazing atmosphere here. KU has great classes that can appeal to everyone and it's a great place to find yourself and get a degree. Another great thing is the locked-in tuition, which allows you to pay the same pricer per credit hour for four years!

KU is conveniently located just west - southwest of Kansas City, with easy highway access. Lawrence is a pedestrian oriented city which accomodates the University and its students nicely. Due to the closeness to home, for many, yet far enough away, KU is an excellent choice for many students. Being close to the big city also works well for non traditional students, commuting daily.

The University of Kansas has an amazing amount of oppurtunities. It's one of the top research schools in the country for many different fields of study. It has a great journalism school, engineering school, and study abroad program. Not only are the academics wonderful, but there are so many clubs and committees to choose from as well. Anyone can include themself in campus life. This makes the big size of the campus seem smaller and less overwhelming. Basically, the overall feel of the campus is the best thing about the University of Kansas!

The University of Kansas has great variety . This applies to courses provided for many different majors, the school's atmosphere, and the opportunities awaiting students both during and after their years at university. I have taken a variety of courses that will lead me to a general studies degree in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. With these courses, including the opportunity of taking an anatomy cadaver lab as an undergraduate, I will be eligible to apply to Physical Therapy school. Upon completion, I will be able to work in a variety of professional settings.

The University of Kansas is known for its basketball team, but I believe our unity and team spirit expand far beyond that. We have a certain community that is unique. Lawrence is a smaller town, with a big city feel. The majority of the population here is college students, which means we are always on the go. What that doesn't mean however, is that we don't take the time to "stop and smell the roses." Just walk around campus during the spring or fall and you will see people enjoying time outside, relaxing or studying.

The social aspect of this school is amazing to me because my high school was small and I got to know everyone, but here it's expansive but it gives more oppurtunity to meet new people who come from very different backgrounds then what you're regularly used to.

The atmosphere. There are so many different types of people who are always in a great mood on campus, always friendly. No matter what day or time of the year you can always walk around campus and there will be people out doing things or promoting awareness or raising money for organizations.

The best thing about the University of Kansas is the environment that is created at our Campus. It is a very accepting and very friendly environment. Basically, everyone that I have met, even though busy with their own lives, have always given a warm welcome and an accepting attitude among people. This is very unique to the university of Kansas because the kindness of students, faculty and others in the KU community can be seen through everyone that is a part of this university. Also, it makes KU a great place to come study and experience the college life.
