The best thing about my school is the community because it is so cohesive. Students and falculty get along great in the classroom. Oustide of the classroom everyone is drawn even closer together by the success of our athletic program. I just like how friendly everyone is on campus...

What makes KU stand out from other colleges is the diversity on campus. It gives students the chance to interact with people from all walks of life. Learning here doesn't just take place in the classroom, it happens everywhere. Meeting someone who's had a different background than yourself can open your eyes more than any textbook.

I enjoyed being able to meet people and make new friends every semester. Also, being able to watch Kansas basketball in Allen Fieldhouse is something everyone should experience, even if they don't go to KU. But the best thing about this school is learning about its history and being apart of its tradition everyday.

The best attribute of The University of Kansas is how extremely accepting everyone is. Students and professors alike, are surprisingly welcoming. It makes no difference what your personality, background, or preferences are, there are outlets and groups for everyone and discrimination is exceptionally rare. It?s almost impossible to feel out of place. Any new KU student should walk onto campus feeling confident and comforted by being in such an accepting environment.

I consider the school spirit at the University of Kansas the best thing at my school. The school spirit is awesome, when its time for athletics students are always ready to support the teams with t-shirts, banners, body paint, mugs, flags and etc. The fans are even supporting in any type type of wheather, from sun shine to snow. Athletics are not the only thing my school has spirtit in, it is also shown at debate tournaments, science fairs, and even performances for the arts. ROCK CHALK JAYHAWK is the chant and my school can say it loud!

Students at KU are some of the most accepting people I know. No matter what you believe, how you grew up, or what you think, you can find friends and like-minded people here. The other great thing about KU are the scholarship halls. Its a community of friends who are focused on getting the best education possible and still having a good time while we're in college. I had 50 automatic friends and have lived here for 4 years and would do it again in a heartbeat!

Abigail

The University of Kansas has the most overwhelming school spirit you can find. Game day, no matter for football or our Champion basketball team, is a sea of blue shirts as every student, professor, and resident of Lawrence rallies behind our Jayhawks. The level of commitment to our college and our team is incredible. Once you are a Jayhawk, you will always be a Jayhawk, and there is a sense of belonging in that identity. I've been across the country and found people sporting KU hats, and immediately had a new friend. Rock Chalk!

It is a place to express your self. There are so many different people that come from different places that you get to meet, even if some of them come from your home town. You can learn about people's lifes and experiences. It also provides you with a challenge. You know everyday you go to class you will learn something new or it will challenge your thinking.
