KU is known for excellence, from academic to athletics. It is also known for its beautiful campus and friendly atmosphere.

The University of Kansas is best known for research, though I am not doing anything research related until Law School. Also, KU is known for its high level of students who study abroad, which I plan on doing next Spring semester (Spring 2012). Another thing KU is known for is affordability, which is true compared to private schools but personally I think it is still expensive.

My school is best known for it's deversity and it's research. The University of Kansas is also known for it's friendly students as well.
Nate
My school is best known for its tradition. The tradition of the Jayhawk, waving the wheat, and many others. The traditions are endless and really help to define KU.
Holly
KU is best known for starting basketball in the United States. James Naismith is a legend here at KU and we take our sports very seriously. The KU men's basketball team were the National Champions 2 years ago and it was very important for everyone at KU to be a part of the celebration. We have a rich tradition of basketball and I hope that continues because we have a really great program.
Sierra
We are known for our strong science programs. The University of Kansas is the only research center in Kansas and the medical school is known throught the nation. Athletics are a fairly large part of the school and a lot of emphasis is put on basketball. But there is plenty more to do than watch football games. we have an art museum where artist come from all over the world to contribute to and the Lied Center where there is always a performance or guest speaker. There is something for everyone and all the programs are done with skill.

Let's just say that everyone knows Kansas basketball. While the university is of exceptional quality, most people would recognize a Jayhawk for the athletics over the school.
Kyle
I think the University of Kansas is best known for it's athletics programs, specifically the men's basketball program. However, they have strong academics, great research opportunities, and a rich history.
Rochelle

Jeremy
The University of Kansas might be best known for its mascot the Jayhawk and their basketball team. I think it should be known for having a great atmosphere as well.
