University of Kansas Top Questions

I really love the environment that I have in my majors - Japanese and Political Science. The East Asian languages department is a small, close-knit community, and although the Poli-Sci department is larger, all of the professors I have met have been very encouraging and helpful. It has really helped me to have a great experience at KU so far.

Jayhawks!

Our school pride is awesome and we all come together to support our basketball program.

The spirit is incredible, as well as the level of academic success.

At the University of Kansas there is a lot of school spirit. Because of the legacy of our Basketball team there is a very strong community feeling throught the student body which I believe is unique to my school.

The school spirit. KU fans can be found anywhere. The alumni are still as spirtited as the student body. The spirit inside Allen Field House is like none other. Also, there are so many opportunites for research, study abroad, internships, and alternative breaks. The campus is also beautiful.

My school is unique in such a way that it is very un-unique. KU is a school that provides a broad spectrum of classes, activities, organizations and clubs that allows any person to come and find their spot in the world.

The overall atmosphere, cohesiveness, and school spirit that the surrounding community has for the university is like no other. They really make you feel special for picking KU as your college of choice.

The Basketball tradition and I felt like there was a LOT more school spirit within KU's campus, and especially in the town of Lawrence and all of the inhabitants, students or not.

What I found unique about KU compared to other schools that i considred is the diversity.

The University of Kansas is one of the most unique schools in the Midwest. There are so many different types of people that attend KU which makes it unique! Each dorm is classified as something - artsy, girls only, educational, party, etc. This is good for new freshmen becuase it puts you with people you want to be with. The study abroad programs at KU are outstanding. Over 1/3 of students study abroad!

a wonderful journalism program, great campus spirit, super nice people, and an amazing basketball team

Campus is not too big and not too small. The professors are very helpful and there are so many opportunities to go above and beyond the textbook material. Opportunities such as study abroad, alternative spring break, volunteering, teaching assistant positions, group work, internships, give the student real world experience and applications to the material learned in the classroom.

It has a really diverse popultation and it had the best campus.

The uniqueness of my school is found in the unity amongst students based on pride felt for the university in addition the beauty of the campus. The University of Kansas Main Campus (Lawrence, KS) has one of the most beautiful college campuses in the nation, and I certainly think that is helps the moral of the school. Waking up every day and being on such a beautiful campus with a group of people I consider to be my family is more than any college student could ever wish for.

One thing that really attracted me to KU was their great history and tradition tied to their basketball program. College sports have always been one of my great interests, and to be a part of the "Rock Chalk Jayhawk" chant during home basketball games gives me a feeling I've never been able to replicate anywhere else. The feeling of being part of something much larger than yourself is priceless.

Although KU is a large campus, you do get that personal attention that I was looking for in a college. I transferred from a community college and I felt that the switch was not as bad as I had antipicipated because the professors really cared about me and they wanted me to succeed in the classes. I like the fact that I can always get ahold of my teachers if I need to speak with them regarding a class.

KU has the greatest diversity of all the schools in my state. That's important to me.

This campus is very liberal but academic driven. It has a great mix of ethnic races in the student body as well as facility.

The students are very kind and open to other cultures/backgrounds/ethnicities.
