<p>interesing situation.</p>
<p>I'm from New Jersey, and am going to KU. In fact, I just came back from KU today. </p>
<p>You will in no way feel alienated or different. Lawrence is a thriving place with great people. If anything, you'll only be shocked by how nice people are over there. I'm very close to NYC myself, and I found no shortage of things to do. KU is really a great place, and I'm going to have to second your dad. I've been to so many campuses, including Boston College, Villanova, Delaware, etc..and I think Kansas is nicer than all of them. Definitely check it out before you enroll though, you won't be disappointed</p>
