LEt me address some of these questions.
First for 1549, KU has a 2/1 ratio of girls to guys. That was very good to me over the years.
Now, I can tell you that KU does not rank as high in journalism, but here are some rankings. The school has definitely gone way up the rankings in terms of their scores in schools.
Here is a link from the KU website that lists some of our strongpoints.

Also KU is a top 10 party school with an awesome bar and fraternity scene and was rated as the prettiest campus in the midwest.
Finally, there are the sports. KU created college baskeball and still has the greatest stadium and atmosphere to watch a game. The tradition there is rich, and the team is beloved. Also, our football team is making some noise. THis began with our first bowl game last year in a while, and we just beat K-state last week. WE brought over Lew Perkins who was formerly at UCONN, and he is really doing a stellar job.
KU is also 25 minutes away from Kansas CIty, and 40 minutes from 5 major casinos .
I was a campus guide for years and would love to answer any questions about my alma mater.
