University of Kansas Top Questions

If you're shy and don't like huge crowds, this school may be too big for you. Freshmen who are taking general-education classes often have big lectures of 500 students or more, but as you go along in the school, the classes get smaller.

Very conservative people.

Students who are entering a highly competitive field should probably consider going elsewhere. While the education is good, the university looks unimpressive on a resume.

I think people who are only interested in the number of parties there are and the number of cute boys or girls there are should not attend. It's hard for the students who are serious about what they're doing to get attention from the professors because the professors have to deal with all the students who just don't care.

Really conservative people, i.e. people uncomfortable with the human condition and uncomfortable with new ideas and new people. KU is a fantastic place if one is willing to loosen up a bit and try new ideas. If not, then one will not have much enjoyment. Be friendly, be open, be somewhat outgoing. Even if somebody is a borderline hermit living off campus such as myself, sticking around campus and soaking in the environment goes a long way.

To truly appreciate the KU experience, students should be open-minded and driven. Having an open mind is vital to the social and academic venues at KU. Students will meet people with different personalities and backgrounds. The ability to embrace these situations is extremely beneficial. Students should also be open-minded when entering the classroom. This isn?t highschool anymore, and each professor will be different. Finally, prospective students must be driven. Success is a common attribute of the university and is what we are all aiming for. Students need that drive to succeed to appreciate the value of KU.

Someone who cannot socialize well and doesn't do well away from home.

Any one who wants to should attend KU. Everyone will be welcomed and no one will be ignored.

If you think drinking and partying are importent you will enjoy the activities outside of school. if not. you wont.

a very conservative person

Someone who is overly competitive. Being into sports is one thing, but hating the other team so much they throw bottles and beer cans at another team's players, fans or band is unacceptable. Also someone who is wasting their parents' money shouldn't attend KU. they'll probly drop out anyway after spending their first semester sitting around avoiding classes.

Extremely narrow-minded, super conservative people.

A person who is looking for a small school should not attend ku, there are about 30,000 students that attend this school. Also, a person who is an extreme conservative probably shouldnt either, people are pretty liberal here.

Uptight students

I think anybody can find a place where they feel welcome here, but people who are very politically/socially conservative would probably feel uncomfortable with the student body as a whole.

Any person who is easily lost in a crowd, shy, inhibited, depressed, a "loner," finds it difficult to connect or make friends or get involved in new activities or groups should not attend this school. HOWEVER, this all depends on individual differences; with a strong will, motivation, and drive, any student can succeed-- even if he possesses these characteristics.

Complete slackers, people who hate basketball

Doesn't exist--though maybe closed-minded individuals should think hard about it.
