KU can be a perfect fit for a huge diversity of students. From engineering to the classics, KU offers research unique to your field. The campus is large, but completely accessible by foot with a free bus service. The Jayhawk legacey runs strong for those interested in sports, but our 24-hour libraries and computer labs provide comfort for the more studious minded. While some classes may be big, most provide Graduate Assistants for personal help. KU is also a leader in study abroad for the more adventurous, and Lawrence's thriving downtown serves a rich local music scene.
