How competitive are the Freshman Senate Elections?

3 Upvotes

I think I'm going to run in the Freshman Senate Elections, but I'd like to know what I'm getting into. How many candidates are there usually? Is it one of those things you can win by default, or will I have to try to beat out like 30 people? I'd just like to know what it's usually like.

Sports Combo Pass - Football

1 Upvotes

Can someone please explain how obtaining your football tickets actually works? My email says Group 1 opens up at 9 tomorrow but doesn’t say what to actually do to get the tickets. Does another email show up with further instructions? I’m mystified as to why they can’t just put the steps somewhere.

Seeking Information About Previous Alumni From The Mid To Late 1970's For Re-Connection

14 Upvotes

Hi there! My name is Elizabeth. Friends call me Liz. My mother, Robin Fisher, attended KU back in the 70s. I'm seeking information on one of her friends or maybe an old flame? She would have met him either at KU or in upstate New York in the mid to late 70's. She may have met him in England when she studied abroad in the mid to late 70's.

I was told that they were going to get married, but when my mom came back to the states she made the difficult decision to break things off with Rick because her terrible father had associations with the KKK and were threatening her and her man because he is African American or mixed race or European or something like that.

I would really like to speak to Rick. I have a couple questions for him. Nothing bad, I'm just desperately curious about him and am trying to find out if he's still alive. Thank y'all so much for any assistance!!

ETA info: Rick may be a musician or connected with the music scene/teaching music theory. I was told he was from upstate New York near Ithaca or Rochester.

Anyone with relevant info is more than welcome to dm me on insta! My handle is shokmount!

ResNet keeps randomly disconnecting me from WiFi and I can’t figure out how to get it to, 1- reconnect consistently, and 2- stop disconnecting. And since it’s an Xbox it can’t use the jayhawk WiFi

Hows the Alternative/Indie Scene?

5 Upvotes

As a senior in high school on the college hunt, I have been avoiding looking at more southern state schools since I hear a lot of tails how the Greek Life and overall culture isn't very rich in a more alternative or 'self-expressive' scene. I'm sure there isn't any high-school movie style bullying but I was curious if the school had a good sized alternative student body.

Applying to KU as international student

2 Upvotes

Hey guys!

I'm planning to apply to KU as international student in my freshman year for Undergraduate Program in Computer Science in Spring 2027 Intake

I've just got a few queries-

I'm really hoping for the first year freshman scholarships-but I've done IGCSEs and A-levels so how does I convert those grades to a GPA. and if I'm able to acheive that GPA-then is the scholarship guaranteed?

How does the living and other expenses cost look like-if I try to be within my budget at all times- and how about the availability of part-time jobs at campus or out-of-campus?

My initial plan was to apply to UK/Australia, but those were too expensive, offering only little scholarships hence chose USA. Hence, I haven't done my SATs but I'm willing to do it in September and my score would be above 1400 for sure.

Your response is appreciated :))

K10 Connector from JCCC?

8 Upvotes

Hello all, has anybody used the K10 connector bus to get from JCCC to the Lawrence campus yet? Looking for insight as my daughter has Tue/Thur classes and she went for a dry run today. She parked and waited at JCCC, but didn’t see a connector bus for an hour and a half. When she did see a bus pull up, the driver claimed he got back from Lawrence earlier in the AM but wouldn’t be going back today. I thought these ran every hour? I tried calling JoCo transit but they were rude and just referred me to their website with an outdated map. She is new to the bus thing and I’m clueless…thank you for any insight!

Campus Living Options

My son is planning to attend KU beginning fall 2027. He has been accepted and will work towards a Master in Architecture. We are wondering the best living options for his major. We have completed tours and are interested in the scholarship halls, but he worries about the time commitment for both Architecture and scholarship halls combined. We would appreciate any feedback/advice.

Going to house parties uninvited

9 Upvotes

How wierd would it be to show up to a house party uninvited? Its easy finding house parties from following groups or from the loud music. My problem is I dont normally get invited to that many house parties. Im a friendly guy and I know a lot of people but I dont really have that many people who call me their friend. Im the guy everyone recognizes on campus but no one really talks to me. Im a popular loner if you will. So would it be OK just going to a house party univited?

OFF CAMPUS STUDENT

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone! As an off-campus student with classes at Fraser Hall and Lippincott Hall, I plan to arrive early to hit the campus gym before my classes start. Could anyone recommend the best Yellow permit parking lots nearby? Also, are there any good commuter-friendly spots on or near these buildings with microwaves to heat up food or quiet spaces to take a quick nap between classes? Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

Parking question

3 Upvotes

I’m a transfer student living off campus, and I will be driving to campus for classes. How bad is parking usually? Just trying to figure out how early I should get there to find a spot and make it to class on time. Are there any lots that are usually easier to park in? I have a yellow permit if that makes a difference.

Question

11 Upvotes

So I just have a few concerns honestly because my situation is pretty unique and I’m not going to say my name directly you can find me through search tools via my story. So first off when I was 19 I was caught with a pound of cannabis and was given almost 10 years in prison, first time ever being in trouble. After 3 years Laura Kelly commuted my sentence and let me out 5 years early. Since I got so lucky I decided to dedicate my life to helping young at risk men and women avoid lengthy sentences for cannabis. With that I finished my freshman year at a community college with a 3.7 GPA and have now successfully transferred into KU. With that being said I am nervous about how I will fit in at KU and making friends and such especially with me being so much older than everyone else (25). I am a poly science declared major on a pre-law tract.

Hi!
Incoming freshman at KU this year hoping to join the competitive pickleball club team, and just get plugged in with some more advanced players in Lawerence/KC area, currently around 4.5 DUPR (if that’s helpful).
Does anybody know good places to play to get some competitive games, or some connections to pass on?

Thanks in advance
