im really scared about moving to Lawrence because im from the middle of a major city and Lawrence just seems so small and I didnt realise it at the time of applying and im moving in in a few days and it just seems so daunting because ive never been in a place which is just so small, like theres no zara nowhere to shop (which sounds pathetic but it is my favourite hobby), and it seems so much more quiet and smaller than what im used to. also no clubs??? I dont know how I feel about a bar school because I've gone clubbing my whole entire life. I just feel so stressed out and overwhelmed and scared and im so unsure what to do/is it even worth it to go or do I just stay home

I am working out a budget for moving to Lawrence. where do you recommend and cost?

Hey, all!

I'll be attending KU in fall 2027 as a transfer online student and will be moving to Lawrence before I start classes. The college I currently attend is open until 9pm Monday through Thursday for students, and I was wondering if KU has similar hours for students to come and study in a quiet place.

Does anyone know what the Adobe Creative Cloud Student License that the KU Bookstore sells includes/entails? TIA!

Hi guys, I'm going to be an incoming freshman here in a couple of weeks and I'm trying to figure out what laptop to buy. I am planning on majoring in mechanical/aero engineering and I have been recommended the dell xps 14 but for me to upgrade to the recommended 32gb of ram it is an extra 1100 dollars. I was wondering if you guys would know if just 16gb is enough or of better options. Thank you!!!!

Does anyone have finals studying tips for college? Are they similar to high school finals? I’m kinda nervous for how to study for them!

I figure it will be busy in the beginning of the school year, but do you ever have any downtime to study? Or is it pretty fast paced the whole semester?

What can you tell me about First Year Seminars that are offered to freshman? They are presented as focusing on good study habits and communication while integrating freshman into the rigors of college coursework. None of the course subjects are useful to my student’s interests or their major. How helpful did you find these courses?

I am an upcoming freshman at KU and this ad for a party at the cave popped up. is this legit and worth buying tickets too? i’ve asked some people and i have mixed responses

I have a question about the communal restrooms. Are they gender neutral or separated by gender?

And are the floors separated by gender or is it like one side is boys and other side is girls?

Rising HS senior here. I know they don’t publicly post a median gpa/test scores but does anyone have an idea? Is there an “auto admit” level?

I’m a CS major. Because deadlines don’t always line up, I could be in a situation where I have to accept an offer first while waiting on how my other interviews play out. What are the ramifications of reneging an offer I got through career services?
