University of Kansas Top Questions

KU has a great atmosphere and is filled with people who are very interesing and fun to be around. The only thing I would change about KU would be the cost of attendance; I know that it is less than a lot of other state schools, but it is still very difficult for me to find money for tuition. When I tell people that I go to KU, they always smile; it makes me proud that they know where I go to school and our traditions. I mostly spend my time in my scholarship hall; there are a lot of people around and it makes our community very interesting and fulfulling. There is so much pride here, especially now that we won the basketball National Championship; I think that has been the greatest experience yet. I will always remember Mass St. after the game and how many people packed the streets to celebrate.

KU is a good place for mostly everyone because we are so diverse. The town of Lawrence is an awesome college town with tons of different things to do. There is definitely a ton of school pride, especially after winning the National Championship. Although, we had plenty of pride in our school along the way to winning the championship. Students seem to complain about the parking the most. There isn't enough space to park and the spaces are about 1/2 the size of normal parking spaces.

The best thing about KU in my opinion is basketball, because I love the sport. Also, I love the campus, and the independence I get to experience. It's very large. Most people think KU is awesome, but there are always people who will disagree. There is a lot of school pride, and I personally love my school. Of course, the biggest experience I will always remember is the basketball team winning the national championship.

The best thing about KU is that the University is only an hour and a half away from my hometown, but it is a breath of fresh air because of all the different views you encounter when you get there. I feel that even though the campus has around 28,000 students, it doesn't feel too big at all. If I tell someone that I go to KU, they are usually surprised because I came from a small town where most people choose to go to K-State because of its closeness and more conservative stereotype. This year, there is an amazing amount of school pride because we won both the Orange Bowl in football and then the NCAA Championship in basketball. It's a great year to be a Jayhawk, and I'll never forget it!

Four words: 2008 NCAA Basketball Champions!!!! I will never forget the best basketball game in the world played on April 7, and subsequent mass crowds and partying that occurred on Mass. Street following the game!! KU is a really unified school, and I think that it is partly due to the outstanding KU athletic teams (basketball and football). Also Lawrence is a great town! Many people think that because it is in Kansas, it must be a hick town. It's the complete opposite! It is a very forward-thinking, open, beautiful town (very Boston-ish). Lawrence's pride in Mass. Street and its aura also unifies the University of Kansas and creates a great deal of pride in being a Jayhawk!

ku is a good size.

ku is a good size.

I would change the amount of parking available to students at KU. KU is building more facilities (like a practice field for the football team -- which is being built where parking for the football stadium used to be -- and a new scholarship hall) without building more parking. And if I had the ability, I would change the amount of hills on campus. I don't think the KU campus is too big. Some of the buildings need to be updated b/c some of them have so not-so-safe parts, like the elevators for example. KU is definitely part of a college town. Whenever school is not in session, Lawrence is almost completely dead, except for the townies. KU needs to change the math and physics departments because they both are not organized well and they don't have sufficient professors to teach. KU definitely has a lot of school pride. One thing that I love about the students is that we love our school, but we don't out-right bad mouth others and purposefully start fights. Yes, we bicker w/ our rivals, but we aren't down-right mean. I will always remember this school year and how our football team won the Orange Bowl and our basketball team won the NCAA Championship.

I love this school. I love the sports games, the pretty campus, the overall atmosphere. I don't feel like KU is very big, and I come from a town of 1,200 people. It really doesn't seem that big to me. This is definitely a college town, and Mass Street proves it. I will always remember how we won the Orange Bowl, and I was there for it, and how we won the basketball championship, and I was on Mass for that.

watching sports is never dull---we're awesome at basketball, and becoming good at football. its the perfect size, and the town is awesome. there are always things to do, ku has tons of activities...its just a really fun place to go to school. there is tons of pride. I'll never forget winning a national championship, and the sense of unity our school has. celebrating on mass street after victories is never dull!
