University of Kansas Top Questions

There is nothing that frustrates me about my school.

Out of state tuition

Classes are graded very poorly and give students little room to raise grades up. For example, some classes base the students grades on test scores alone. Therefore if there are only 4 tests in the course and the student does poorly on one, there is no way for them to raise their grade up and/or other assignments to balance the grade out.

The most frustrating thing about my school is some of the requirements for degrees. Every degree has different requirements and they change every year. It is confusing to know where you are standing and to make sure your on the path to graduate. I have had a few friends who thought they were ready to graduate when they found out they had a few hidden classes that their degree required.

When I was brand new, I was there all by myself. It would have been helpful to have a representative at the dorm to walk us through the basics and figure out how to get to registration, sign up for bus pass, etc. I was a bit envious of those that had parents there to help them with those basics.

The most frustrating facet about the University of Kansas is the fact that the KU basketball team takes all the funding for mens sports. This allows for hardly any funding to go towards other sports. If you are wanting to participate in mens sports other than basketball and football, the university of Kansas is not for you. Also the intramural leagues aren't organized very well.

I have been most frustrated with my department. Since KU is such a large research institution, many of the instructors are there mainly to do research but also must teach. This division of their time leaves them often committing less to their teaching duties. This lack of interest in teaching can be frustrating and hard to handle at times.

The most frusterating thing about KU is the math department. The department could be doing a lot more to help students. Also, The teachers are not consistent with what it taught each semester.

Knowing that this is where I make the difference in my life. I can push myself towards succession or I can fall into temptation. Looking towards the future wanting to be successfull drives me to try harder, but I always see the ways that I could fail in my journey towards my career.

Many students at the University of Kansas refuse to take their education seriously. They hope to graduate with the minimum amount of effort required. I constantly hear other students complaining that such and such a teacher is "too difficult" when that teacher is merely attempting to push her students to give their best. I fail to see how these students can consider their efforts honorable, or how they can pretend to take a definite interest in their career paths if they do not wish to do the work required. Such students make life much harder for those who are dedicated.

The most frustrating thing about my school is how hard it is to transfer into. It is a fantastic school, but because of the size it can be very overwhelming and difflicult to feel apart of it.

Trying to work full time and go to school full time. You feel pressured to work so you can pay the bills and then there is no time to study. It would be nice to have a happy medium. Also the fact that school can be so expensive itself.

Expensive. Too many little fees that add up. Parking.

I think that one of the most frustrating things about the University of Kansas is its lack of small classes for most general education classes. Most of the science classes are pretty large and it somewhat hard to get help if you need it.

Since I am a perfectionist, the most frustrating thing about school is accepting grades that are not A's. B's and C's are still passing and I should be proud of myself for those grades, however I have a hard time accepting that those grades are decent. High school was not a challenge for me, so obtaining A's was not very difficult. However, in college, if I do not receive an A on assignments and in courses I am too hard on myself.

our football team is not very good

The most frustrating thing about my school is so far during my freshman year everyone seems kind of secluded from everyone. From what I was shown at orientation before I started school I thought everyone would already be open and friendly and be able to help you with anything. In my hall I live with 50 women so I have many friends that are there to help me, but classwise I do not have anyone to work with over assignments. I think it may be because we are freshman and still uncomfortable, but I did not expect it all semester.

The fact that I see people from my high school every day.

Parking is the most frustrating thing about my school...there is never enough, but I don't know what school as ample parking.

The most frustrating thing about the University of Kansas is definitely the amount of money it takes to attend. Although I think this university is worth the high price it is still frustrating, and the financial aspect can be very burderning at times.
