Very friendly and great environment.
Tips: Know your course curriculum, credit requirements, grading system, and academic calendar. Understand the teaching style: lecture-based, hands-on, research-oriented. Be clear on tuition feels, housing cost, living expenses, and available scholarships or financial aid. Know the payment deadline and how to manage a student budget. Familiarise yourself with student services: academic advising, counselling, health centre, career centre, and tutoring. Learn how to access the library, labs, and online platforms like Canvas or Blackboard. Research student clubs, sports, cultural organisations, and campus events. Know the local area transport, safety, entertainment, and job opportunities. Understand on-campus vs. off-campus housing pros and cons. The quality of faculty is very high here. Faculty do a great job of delivering clear explanations, engaging lectures, good classroom management, and the ability to make complex topics understandable. They stay updated on the latest research and integrate current knowledge into teaching. They are approachable, available for questions or guidance, and genuinely interested in student success. Plus, they are good at explaining ideas, open to discussion, give constructive feedback, and listen actively.
Likes (Quality of faculty): Take part in workshops, certification, or internships to gain real-world experience. Learn soft skills: communication, teamwork, and adaptability. Take advantage of the university's resources: libraries, tutors, office hours, and career centre. Maintain regular sleep, eat nutritious food, and stay physically active. Avoid burnout, mental health is just as important as grades. And know that it's fine to seek help from the counselling centre when you need it. Make friends from diverse backgrounds. Join clubs, student groups, or sports teams to build community and leadership skills.

Satisfying and not satisfying. Public transport is easy to get used to.
Tips: First thing you should know is to decide where you want to stay. Off-campus is definitely a better choice if you have financial challenges. Given that you can afford it, on-campus housing would be better if you love to be engaged with the student community and want to know what going on around. I received a scholarship of 9000 dollars per semester but that is because I applied through Shorelight. If you apply through an agency, then they probably have some sort of contacts and you get scholarship based on that contact. However, if you apply yourself, you can even get 100 percent scholarship. But if you apply through someone else, they won't tell you this so make sure you apply yourself. Usually, you have to write an essay to get the scholarship and submit your SAT test scores. I think I am pretty satisfied with the university in terms of its quality of education. However, because Kansas is mostly farming land and it is slow paced state as compared to other states, people who are interested in IT area of study would struggle to get post graduation job. Construction companies are in good numbers here but for Software engineers etc., it will most probably be a lot harder to find a job.
Likes (Public transportation): The whole town is connected through various bus routes. Bus is the main public transportation in Lawrence. Since it's a small town, buses are easily able to cover most of the main areas, especially downtown. If you don't own a car, it would be totally fine. This is how convenient and easy it is to travel using public transportation.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Since University of Kansas is situated in a small town called Lawrence in Kansas state, you won't find many options to immigrate permanently. My chances are low because the options I know to get permanent settled here are:
1. Get married
2. Find a job on OPT and get H1b visa
3. Find a lawyer to file eb3 unskilled visa for you
Problem with first option is that I do not want to get married right now just for the sake of permanent residence. Second option is based on luck because they do a lottery for h1b visa. Third can be quite expensive.
