University of Kansas Top Questions

The kind of person who shouldn't attend this school is the type that cannot handle the balance between fun and school. More importantly, if a person does not take school seriously enough to turn down social activities when needed, that person will not find college beneficial in the long run.

Students who shouldn't attend the University of Kansas would prefer a school without a focus on athletic events. Students lacking motivation to learn and succeed in a competitive environment should not attend this school either.

People who do not like walking up and down hills. People who do not like being involved in school activities. People who do not take school seriously or think that college is one big party. If you GPA drops too much you will be asked to leave.

I do not think there is not one person that could be happy at the University of Kansas. There are hundreds of student groups and majors to pursue and study. The town has its own quirky feeling and has many unique places to see.

Someone who doesn't want to attend a large university should not attend this school.

KU is a big school on a big campus with a big student body and situated atop the only (therefore biggest) "mountain" in Kansas. KU is accessible to everyone, and nobody won't fit in. Each student has the rare opportunity to actively succeed in achieving their dreams as well as pursuing every interest that their brains can muster. The community is accepting of all and places a huge emphasis on allowing a student to grow into the true person they were born to be. However, if you don't like people, you probably shouldn't attend.

there really isn't a certain type of person who should or shouldn't attend KU. It's a good school, as far as state schools go. and it's pretty easy to get in too. There are so many different things going on on campus at a given time, any type of person can find something to do or something that interests them.

Anyone that is particularly academically oriented will be disappointed. While academics aren't neglected, the student body as a whole is much more interested in other things.

Kansas is all about diversity. Chancellor Bernadette-Gray Little and head football coach Turner Gill are both black. Gill is one of eleven total black head coaches in the FBS out of 120 schools. Similarly, the faculty is very diverse and welcoming as well. Also, Kansas ranks among the nation's elite in foreign exchange students. From my perspective, all of the foreign students enjoy Kansas and feel at home in the community. Thanks to the dedication to making and keeping the University of Kansas diverse, any student, regardless of race or gender, should feel comfortable attending KU.

A person with a low GPA, low ACT or SAT score, and a person thinking of the University of Kansas as a party school shouldn't attend this school. In addition, people without dedication to attain a degree, not willing to do hardwork, or looking for easy degrees should not attend this school.

A person who does not want the full college experience involving academics, extracurriculars and social events because The University of Kansas effectively balances all of these elements to create a wonderful college atmosphere.

I feel that the type of person that should not attend this school is the type of person who detracks from the overall friendly and open learning environment. A person who's purpose is to only take away from the other students oppertunities of knowledge and learning.

Do not attend if you do not like a big school, some of your classes will have over 200 students but others only 15. School does good job of picking which classes are large though. (math and english classes are guaranteed to be small).

KU is not situated in Manhattan, Chicago, San Francisco, and it shouldn't be suppsed that the pace in Lawrence, Kansas is anything like those cities. We are quiet, liberal bicyclers situated amidst fields and grasslands. KU is not for the haute couture, though we know what that means, and neither are we for the heartless. Lawrence and KU pride themselves on being socially responsible, both on personal and ecological levels, so gas guzzling, alligator purse holders should leave their animal-tested make-up in L.A.

People who are focused soley on partying. We study hard and we party hard at KU.

You should not attend this school if you don't like being around a lot of people. It is a large University, it is still easy to enroll in small classes, but if you are scared to be around a lot of people this probably isn't the place for you. Also, it is a very challenging, quick paced school. You really have to stay on top of your work to do well...there are no easy As. I would say that KU is probably not for the timid, outgoing people would do well here, but overall accepting of all.

Any person who has a problem with a liberal mindset. The campus is wonderful and accepting of almost anyone except conservatives.

If you don't have enough self control to keep yourself away from the parties to study, this isn't the place for you. We lose a quarter of our freshman class each year for a reason which usually involves late nights and lots of alcohol. If you can stay focused on your school work as needed (or aren't really a partier), then no worries. Also, it can be hard to get into small classes until your sophomore year or later. If you want a lot of attention from a professor, you may have to work for it.

I don't believe there is a type of person that shouldn't attend this school because there is such a wide variety of students. Kansas University has many international students I have ever seen, and so many different clubs or activities which involves many different types of people. The community welcomes every person who enters and is always willing to help others, I don't believe there could be one person who shouldn't attend at this school. Once you become a Jayhawk, you become one with everyone as a loyal Jayhawk student.

Someone who wants to balance their school work and social life. Great place to go for an all around college experience!
