University of Kansas Top Questions

I think anyone could attend this college and enjoy it.

Person with disability of not having legs should not attend this college as this college don't provide a great transportation facility.

The kind of person that shouldn't attend this school is someone who is not serious about their degree. Additionally, if you refuse to put in the time and effort into your school work you will not do well here.

A person that is not open minded or ready to explore different cultures should not attend the University of Kansas, for KU is one of the most diverse universities in the Mid-West. A person who does not want to be involved with what is going on within the school would most likely not want to attend this school due to the organizations and groups that are waiting for more people to join. However, there is something for everyone to do, whether it be Hall Government or joining a sister/brotherhood, but do not attend if not willing to interact.

I would say that anyone who wants a smaller school shouldn't attend The University of Kansas. There are about 30,000 students that attend this college and I see people I've never seen before every day. In addition, anyone who doesn't care about school spirit shouldn't attend because everyone is very supportive of our school and sports teams.

Someone who feels overwhelmed by a large campus and large amounts of people. The majority of the general education classes had up to 900 people in them, and they can make you feel out of place or lost. But if you are good at self managing then this shouldn't be a problem.

Someone who does not take their studies seriously should not attend this school because it is easy to fall into the habit of skipping class as I'm sure is true at most universities. I knew quite a few freshman that were put on academic probation because of unsatisfactory grade point averages; and this is in no way due to the level of difficulty of the classes because if a student attends class, actually completes their assignments and devotes time to studying for exams the chance of he or she failing a class is next to impossible.

Someone who is trying to get away from the small town dynamic.

I am a very serious student, so I believe that students that aren't in school to get a good education and are only there for other reasons are the ones that shouldn't attend this school. I don't like sitting in class when I'm trying to listen and others around me are just goofing around and not learning the material.

Someone who does not want to interact with alot of people, or someone who doesn't like basketball should not attend.

Someone who loves the hussle and bussle of large cities.

People who aren't willing to work hard shouldn't go to KU.

This school would not be a fit for people expecting personal attention or those seeking a small, close-knit school. KU is very large and students can get overwhelmed easily if they are not prepared. Also, those wanting top-quality professors for all their classes should not attend KU; there are many professors that aren't necessarily awesome. But there are quite a few that are very knowledgeable and helpful.

A person who is looking for small classes.

A driven person who can push themselves to be the best should attend The University of Kansas. They need a strong mind and personality to keep up with the chaos that is KU.

Students who like to be to themselves should not go to this school, because at the University of Kansas, staff and faculty members are always concerned and want the best for students, so they ask a lot of questions and put you on the right path if you slip up.

People who want to get a good education but still have fun. Individuals who are nice and eager to meet new people will fit in well on this campus. Also students who are career oriented will do well at this school.

People who don't like to study.

Based on people who wouldn't enjoy this school, I've yet to see a "stereotype" that do not or would not enjoy KU. I've seriously seen or heard of something for just about every type of person at KU, or in the Lawrence/KC area. Physically, people who can't navigate fairly steep hills as there are many on campus and surrounding it. The type of person who shouldn't come to KU is the type who think college is just one big party and spend no time on their school-work. Those types don't do well.

If you are someone who does not enjoy having a large number of students in your classes or if you would like your campus to be smaller or in a larger city, then this school is not for you.
