The best thing is the Scholarship Halls on campus. The people living in them don't just only become your friends, they become your family. They are houses that have 50 men or women living in them (they are gender specific), and the 'scholarship' part of them is that the cooking, cleaning, and touring of the halls is done by the resedents in them. They are a wonderful way to live with smart people (there is a GPA requirement), and they are the best thing with my college experience. Scholarship halls are unique to KU, so that's cool too.

The supportive engineering department as well as the envolved and exciting student body.

What I consider to be the best thing about the University of Kansas is the many extracurricular activities available for students to participate in. Not all colleges give students an opportunity to participate in activities outside of classes or with as wide of range that the University of Kansas has. Being able to be involved in activities outside of a student's major grants a better college experience.

I consider the best thing about the University of Kansas to be the opportunies that are given to its many students, including the extracirricular activities. This is so important because it helps me to get more involved in other things outside my major and to continue things I liked to do in high school. Not all schools have a wide range of extracirriculars to participate in and I believe that is what makes the Univesity of Kansas such a great campus to live on.

The best thing about the University of Kansas is the small-town community within the big state school. Lawrence is a welcoming town. It?s not only a college town; in addition, there is an established residential community. That feeling of comfort and home make the college transition easier. There is also the aspect of Kansas pride in being ones of the state universities. Big time athletics, conferences, and performances give us more opportunities and unlock doors to success.

This is a big campus, but allows a small town feel. There are many clubs to join, and the professors are eager to meet you during their office hours.

KU lets me be everyone that I want to be. When I want to explore space, when I'm interested in alternative health therapies and when I want to crush my anger in the form of a rugby field - I can do it all. I can spend hours in the library studying with hundreds of other students or participate on campus, apply for internships or just be a normal kid trudging to class and home, working through the day-to-day environment that bewilders us all. My school is all-encompassing.

The best thing about KU is its academic rigor. This is KU's best attribute because it prepares its students for the challenges that they will face in the real world.

There are many great things about the University of Kansas, but the best would have to be the teachers. They are always available when you have questions, need help or just want to talk about the class. They are an endless source of knowledge and support and make the University of Kansas a great learning establishment!
