Location
The University of Kansas is located in beautiful Lawrence, Kansas -- a true college town located on the banks of the Kansas River.
Friendly and caring, Lawrence boosts international cuisine, extensive outdoor recreation, shopping and a thriving arts scene. A free bus system for all KU students, with bus routes arriving and departing throughout campus and the residence halls every seven minutes, helps everyone get around. Students can spend whole days perusing the shops, art galleries, and coffee shops of downtown Lawrence. And once the sun sets, students can watch a movie, band gig, DJ night any night of the week.
Kansas City, just east of Lawrence, is a tech-fueled start-up culture, an international airport and tens of thousands of Jayhawk alumni. National Geographic magazine named Kansas City as one of its 2019 Best Trips destinations.
Student Testimonial
"The main reason I wanted to get involved is that I thought it would be easier for me when I know more people around campus. I am currently involved in the Indonesian Student Association, Student Senate, and the Muslim Student Association. In the Student Senate, I am representing the undergraduate international students, so my job is basically to advocate for them."
– Farah, Chemical Engineering major from Indonesia
