What's unique about your campus?

Cindy

The variety of majors that are offered.

Sarah

The atmosphere. The students here are serious about education but also know how to have a good time. KU has so much history and tradition that it is impossible not to get involved and enjoy your time here.

Dillon

KU has always been my top choice, with amazing housing choices, outstanding academics, great basketball, the list goes on and on. One of my favorite things is that Lawrence is a KU and KU is Lawrence, they coincide with each other and it's an amazing atmosphere here. KU has great classes that can appeal to everyone and it's a great place to find yourself and get a degree. Another great thing is the locked-in tuition, which allows you to pay the same pricer per credit hour for four years!

Shannon

KU is conveniently located just west - southwest of Kansas City, with easy highway access. Lawrence is a pedestrian oriented city which accomodates the University and its students nicely. Due to the closeness to home, for many, yet far enough away, KU is an excellent choice for many students. Being close to the big city also works well for non traditional students, commuting daily.

The University of Kansas has an amazing amount of oppurtunities. It's one of the top research schools in the country for many different fields of study. It has a great journalism school, engineering school, and study abroad program. Not only are the academics wonderful, but there are so many clubs and committees to choose from as well. Anyone can include themself in campus life. This makes the big size of the campus seem smaller and less overwhelming. Basically, the overall feel of the campus is the best thing about the University of Kansas!

Alison

The University of Kansas has great variety . This applies to courses provided for many different majors, the school's atmosphere, and the opportunities awaiting students both during and after their years at university. I have taken a variety of courses that will lead me to a general studies degree in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. With these courses, including the opportunity of taking an anatomy cadaver lab as an undergraduate, I will be eligible to apply to Physical Therapy school. Upon completion, I will be able to work in a variety of professional settings.

Erin

The University of Kansas is known for its basketball team, but I believe our unity and team spirit expand far beyond that. We have a certain community that is unique. Lawrence is a smaller town, with a big city feel. The majority of the population here is college students, which means we are always on the go. What that doesn't mean however, is that we don't take the time to "stop and smell the roses." Just walk around campus during the spring or fall and you will see people enjoying time outside, relaxing or studying.

Christopher

The social aspect of this school is amazing to me because my high school was small and I got to know everyone, but here it's expansive but it gives more oppurtunity to meet new people who come from very different backgrounds then what you're regularly used to.

Julie

The atmosphere. There are so many different types of people who are always in a great mood on campus, always friendly. No matter what day or time of the year you can always walk around campus and there will be people out doing things or promoting awareness or raising money for organizations.

Ojas

The best thing about the University of Kansas is the environment that is created at our Campus. It is a very accepting and very friendly environment. Basically, everyone that I have met, even though busy with their own lives, have always given a warm welcome and an accepting attitude among people. This is very unique to the university of Kansas because the kindness of students, faculty and others in the KU community can be seen through everyone that is a part of this university. Also, it makes KU a great place to come study and experience the college life.

Whitney

The school spirit here is vast and spans beyond this state. The strength of the sports and academic programs here is one of the best in the country. The alumni association also supports this university very well.

Christopher

Strong academics, great school spirit

Rebecca

The best part about my school is the University Daily Kansan, the school newspaper. I am currently on the advertising staff as brand manager and that experience has really open up new doors to my future. The Kansan provides an effective way to really experience what it is like to use what I am learning in class. I can try different paths and experiment with the best way to perform daily tasks ranging from a simple phone call to actually creating a new product. Without it, I honestly would not be able to picture myself working in the real world.

Jaclyn

The best thing about the University of Kansas is the high standards that are set for the faculty, students, and alumni. We are proud, not arrogant, and will continue to work hard to best represent the university. The University of Kansas demands the best from all of their followers: alumni, parents, students, faculty, and additional supporters. KU is very proud of their reputation and works hard to maintain its standards of excellence.

Jesse

I love The University of Kansas because it is extremely beautiful. The campus has a perfect layout and none can beat it. The courses are very helpful too in relation to the major identified.

Marie

The school spirit s incredible - game days are the highlight of the weeks!

Christopher

The University of Kansas is best known for Mens Basketball. We have one of, if not thee, most storied college basketball programs in history. Everyone knows about the Kansas Jayhawks. Everyone knows about Allen Fieldhouse. We attract the best talent to play here, and our records show that.

Hannah

The best thing about KU is the athletic and academic tradition. School spirit is huge here, and it makes going to volleyball, football, or basketball games amazing. The teachers are also dedicated to making sure you received the best education for your money.

Abigail

The opportuinity to find internships and jobs easily through the career fairs throughout the year.

Brett

The best thing about my school is the amount of diversity the school has both with the students and the faculty. In the middle of Kansas, one might not expect there to be a level of diversity which rivals a university in a more culturally-rounded state, but KU has that diversity. It's rewarding to step onto campus and see the different cultures and ideas that are reflected by the people contained within it.
