In your Freshman year you will be dealing with mainly Teacher Assistants or T.A.'s, now they know a great deal, but they still don't have all the knowledge of a Master or Ph.d Professor.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
The campus life is B-E-A-UTIFUL. The trees in Autumn are magnificent and Potters Lake is always a cool spot to hangout, and if you're into working out the Rec Center is above and beyond anything you could ever imagine...including the rock wall;-) The massive amount and backgrounds of students coming everywhere from Russia to Kenya and beyond in overwhelming in a good sense. You have such a vast melting pot of ideas and religions that all you have to do is be open and remember that everyone is connected through the same purpose of getting a better education and you'll make friends in no time...seriously I made like 15 REAL friends whom I still talk to today and half are across the world right now!!!
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
The amount of help offered at KU is nothing short of AMAZING!!! they offer outside learning sessions, discussion groups, learning labs, and even tutors for a more one-on-one approach. They even offer this thing called take a teacher to lunch and basically the school buys you and the Professor lunch at a restaurant downtown and you can talk to them and let them get to know you one on one or even with a friend....I haven't heard of any other University doing that!!!
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Keep an open mind and a friendly smile and you will go far. And don't bring your entire room from home with you on move in day:)
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Achievers, Learners, Shy/Timid, Friendly, Open Minded, Excited about life Students
