We just recently won the national championship in 2008 and am currently ranked number one in the nation this season. We have five national championships to boast our basketball program. Infact, the inventor himself, James Naismith founded the University of Kansas's basketball program. Therefore, if KU could be described in one word, it would be basketball.

Although the city of Lawrence and those who live in it are known to have a liberal outlook on life and an open mind, the University of Kansas is also known for its many opportunities to study abroad. A large percentage of students do study abroad, compared to other universities, and students can choose from over 70 different countries in six different continents. As students, traveling the world and learning about different cultures is one of the most important opportunities we have, and attending KU gives each person a great chance of accomplishing this.

The University of Kansas is best known for its enrollment variety and welcoming environment. 20,000 undergraduate students attend the Lawrence campus, and there truly is a place for every single student. College is more than just the next year of school, and Kansas University welcomes students onto the campus as it will be their home, not just a place to learn mathematics or write research papers. The resources available, school spirit seen on campus, and willingness of professors to help all collaborate to create a home away from home for each and every student at KU. Rock Chalk Jayhawks.

My school is the quintessential big University. The school spirit here is amazing, and I think thats why a lot of alums are still very involved with the campus. Sports are a big part of the University of Kansas, but the academics are just as good. The journalism program is very well known and renowned, and plays a big part in the school's allure, not to mention it is the factor that brought me to KU. Since I've been at the school, I can sincerely say that the experience lives up to the reputation.
