University of Kansas Top Questions

The best thing about the University of Kansas is the community. I have been to several colleges and never felt attached to any of them. I always thought these schools were a place to learn and nothing more. At the University of Kansas, I feel as if it is my home. KU offers several clubs and events where I was able to meet people and make several life long friendships.

I consider the community the best thing about the University. Everyone belongs somewhere on the campus, be it a sport, the crowd, or the classroom.

The best thing about KU is numerous options extracurricular activities, clubs, and fraternities that are offered. For the sporty types of person, there are soccer and basketball games that are organized by students. For someone who is looking to socialize, there are numerous fraternities to join and frequent watch parties for movies or KU games. Regarding the professional, academic options, there are a vast amount of professional fraternities and speakers that come in.

Basketball; because we're awesome at it

The best thing about the University of Kansas would be the fun and exciting activities that are offered each and every day. There is never a dull moment at KU due to the different organizations and clubs that are waiting to be joined and enjoyed. Every day there is an activity taking place as you wonder up and down Wescoe Beach or even by the Union. This is the best thing at KU, because it keeps us students wanting to go to class just to see what waiting to be handed out in front of that class.

School Spirit. My favorite memory was the recent Missouri vs Kansas basketball game. I was unable to get a seat in Allen Field House because so many students camped out, so my friends and I went to the Buffalo Wild Wings on Mass. street. I felt like I was in the field house with all the cheers all the customers were doing. After the amazing win after overtime. Mass street when crazy. People running around screaming "rock chalk", cars honking, everyone high fiving everyone. It was just pure euphoria and something I will never forget.

K.U. is a school that combines the excellence of the best schools with the relaxed Mid-West atmosphere.

The location and size. It's a great large university with a lot to be involved in and do in and around campus.

I love the sence of community here at KU. There are hundreds of ways to get involved in anything going on around school. The organizers of these groups are considerate enough to make sure that the commitment they run will not take up all of a student's time. I enjoy the three organizations I am a part of and still find enough time to get everything else I want to get done. They are the way I have met most of my friends here at school and the first things that made me feel truely welcome after moving here.

What I consider the best thing about the University of Kansas is the warm and inviting community.

While some schools have ivy league names and boast of the price of education, KU offers a solid education at an affordable price. The quality of education given at KU at the low price of an in-state school is the best thing about KU.

school spirit

At KU there are no limits to what one can do. KU has something for students intersted in sports, politics, government, the arts, and even teaches over 40 languages. There are numerous department internships and an outstanding variety of housing options on campus. I live in one of 12 scholarship halls on campus. In the Union there is always something going on, movies, talks, free bowling, meetings for student organizations. There is always something going on around campus and because we are so close to historic downtown, many students spend free time enjoying the nationally renowned down town.

I think the best thing about this school is that students are able to become as involved as they want to be. Students must take the initiative to get to know their professors and conduct research in their field, but KU offers many opportunities for those students who are willing to go the extra mile.

I enjoy most of my classes and my teachers but I really like the amount of other activities that one can participate in. I am in a sorority and I enjoy the greek life a lot. I feel that through the greek life I have not only made many friends but also am involved in the community in many was. I enjoy being a part of Natural Ties, a service program. I think that in being in a sorority I am able to interact with many different people and I get the cahance to interact with all the houses.

The University of Kansas offers a fun and culturally diverse campus! I am a non-traditional student and was very anxious about college, but KU has made me feel welcome and accepted! The teachers are helpful and make themselves available to students. In my short time at KU, I have overcome my worries and become a proud and successful Jayhawk!

The University of Kansas is a great environment to go to college. It has a very open atmoshphere and everyone is interested in learning there. KU has great traditions like "Jayhawk Generations" which tracks those families who have sent more than one generation to this university. I am a 4th generation Jayhawk and am living the academic traditions and other great traditions like KU Basketball for the past 100 years! I am a Freshman but because I took some AP classes in High School I am already taking sophmore level pre-business classes. Rolk Chalk Jayhawk Go KU!

My favorite aspect of the University of Kansas is the Honors Program. This program encompasses all interests from sciences to literature all the way to art. The professors of my honor classes are brilliant. They have a strong background in their field. I have had some of the most philosophical yet challenging talks in my honors discussion. For example, I looked at Lord of the Flies as humans are inherently savage in high school. However, in college I was challenged by my professors and saw the children merely imitating adults. I have grown mentally from this program.

Outstanding atmosphere and tradition. Athletics and academics both breed this atmosphere.

It's location is close to where I live and work full-time. It also offers an undergraduate degree in a subject in which I am interested and hope to use in the future. A number of the classes are offered at a convenient time since I work full-time during they day.
