My school is best know for its tradition. The second day on campus included a "traditions night" which was a night dedicated to teaching freshman and new students the traditions of the University of Kansas. These include the Rock Chalk Chant, the Clap, the Alma Mater, and multiple other fun things to take part in as a Jayhawk. My school has expressed its welcome to all students and continues to do so throughout my time that I have been there.

KU is best known for, I think, is the Medical schools. That's why I chose KU. I am going to be a Speech Pathologist. All the Med Students work very hard at their schooling and keeping up on their grades and I believe that is what KU is best known for.
