University of Kansas

<p>Hi, i wanted to know if anyone knows about this school, it comes up whenever i do the collegeboard search, and i could get in easily, does anyone have a review of it(im from california)</p>

<p>Many of my kids’ friends attend the University of Kansas, and my H is an alum. The priority deadline for scholarships is November 1. It’s a fairly large school, so offers a lot of academic programs. Has great school spirit, especially during basketball season! Lawrence is a great college town. The campus is very hilly in places – not all of Kansas is flat!</p>

<p>They also have a four-year tuition guarantee – when a first time student enters, the tuition will remain the same for all four years. They award automatic scholarships based on test scores/GPA, which are also renewable for four years (Nov. 1 priority application deadline).</p>

<p>Since you live in California, I assume you would be out of state for tuition. Compared to many private colleges, out of state tuition is not horrible. If you happen to have a parent or grandparent who is an alum, and are out of state, there are discounts. There are also automatic scholarships for National Merit status.</p>

<p>There is an honors program, and they are generous in granting credit for AP scores.</p>

<p>It’s a nice school, has many outstanding academic programs, and the students are friendly. If you have not lived in the midwest before, you may find you like it a lot. I had only lived on the east coast, west coast, or overseas before I moved to the midwest. I love living in the midwest. People are very friendly, and the pace of life isn’t frantic or rushed. Lawrence is about 30 minutes from Kansas City, so a bigger city is accessible.</p>

<p>thank you for you insight, anyone else?</p>

<p>Husband and I are alums. CQ gave a good summary, so I don’t have a lot to add. I will emphasize that the campus is very pretty (and not flat). Lawrence is a great college town, more liberal than surrounding area. There is Greek life if ou want it. Honors program is very good.</p>
