[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD is a rising senior and interested in going out of state, looking for a large school with lots of school spirit. Would need to give merit aid to offset out of state costs and University of Kansas seems to fit that bill. Niche reviews of the school seem to be great. Was wondering if anyone has any other knowledge or experience with the school. Would it be a culture shock for an east coast suburban kid coming to KU? DD is interested in UW Madison(reach) and Indiana as well but their outrageous out of state costs don’t seem to justify the outcomes of the education. Would she get a similar experience as Big Ten schools by going to Kansas. Their school spirit for basketball seems particularly strong. [/quote]

school is fine, campus is fine, faculty is fine, Lawrence is quiet and safe but simple college town, nothing much to do, KC is an hour away, also not much to do and in the middle of nowhere ... we were faculty there, lived in KC metro for ~10 years then moved here when my kid was in middle school (in college now)
if you ask kid, there's no way going back in the midwest for college or after college job unless someone brings out the red carpet and 3 figure starting salary, and only for 2-3 years max and then get out of there

go PA or NY ... much, much, much better ... UPitt, Penn State, Syracuse[/quote]

btw, I would rather choose Nebraska at Lincoln vs KU[/quote]

That’s another school I am looking at. However I heard that UNL students go home at weekends when it’s not football season. Since I’m from NYC area, I won’t be going home much. What would make you choose UNL over KU if you don’t mind answering [/quote]

NP. UNL instate students come from all over the state. They definitely do not go home every weekend. Nebraska is big land mass wise, and students outside of Lincoln or Omaha do not go home except for regularly scheduled breaks. It’s a great college town, with lots of young adults staying year round.[/quote]
