Don't be decieved by the beautiful campus and highly regarded sports teams.  Coming into college I anticipated a freindly and opportunistic enviornment.  However upon arrival I realized that all realms of social and extracurriculer activities are dominated by greek life.  I couldn't get involved with student senate because I wasn't involved in Greek life.  The social scene is incohesive and down right clicky.  House parties are rare, campus is in the middle of nowhere, and the bar scene is partioned and run by frats and sororitys.  As far as classes the ease of admission into the University attracts an underachieving demographic.  Classes are uncompetitive, unfufilling, and intellectually insufficient.  Often a student is stuffed into classes with more then 1000 students in them.  It's almost impossible to focus on lecture with students texting, talking, and browsing the internet simaltenously throughout the lecture.  The bottom line is if you're looking for an atmosphere to blossom intellectually and to earn a degree that stands out, Kansas is not the school for you.
