Why KU?Lawrence and the Campus
In addition to academics, another important part of college is having fun! Ask any KU student or alumnus and they'll tell you how much they love it here: the beautiful tree-lined hilltop campus, the great music scene and nightlife, and the fact that there's always something to do! KU is big enough and diverse enough that there's something for everyone, but it's not so big that you feel lost in it. And if you need a little more excitement, Kansas City is just 45 minutes away where you'll find Westport, the Plaza, and Chiefs and Royals games.
But don't take my word for it..."This laid-back Midwest university town has a spellbinding history and a funkiness that I love...There is something wonderfully fey about Lawrence that I can't quite put my finger on. I do know it's my favorite university town anywhere." "Best campus: Kansas. A curving, tree-lined main drive, classic stone buildings, the stirring Campanile war memorial -- who knew Kansas could be so beautiful?" "...the wooded and hilly Lawrence campus is one of the most gorgeous in the United States...Lawrence, with its myriad boutiques, restaurants, and bars, receives rave reviews from students." IndependentTraveler.com calls Lawrence one of their six favorite college towns. "Architect Frank Lloyd Wright, during his visit to the campus, remarked that KU was situated on the most beautiful site for a college that he had seen."
