Freshmen Say KU Not Too Difficult
MANY STUDENTS found the academics to be what they had expected or easier than they were "scared" into believing. Everyone agreed that most of their courses were challenging, although some of the students said that a few courses were taught on a high school level.
Daily Kansan interviews with 22 KU freshmen revealed they are satisfied with college life after one month, despite the extra work required in their courses.
Freshman English was a common subject for discussion. George Benson, El Dorado, said that a good background is essential in courses such as math, history, and English. Jeannie Head, Neodesha, said "English will be the hardest because I didn't do the same things in high school that we are doing in college."
Don- Magdanz, Omaha, Neb., said,
"It's not so much harder, but it takes
longer to study—four to five hours a
night."
Benson commented, "Up here you aren't wasting your time in classes all day. You can budget your time and get a lot more studying done during the day than you could in high school."
MARY FOARD, Prairie Village.
said, "Altogether I study about five hours each day. During the day I study in the library."
JOHN PAT ATKINSON, Topeka, said, "We don't have frequent tests like we did in high school. Now we have more emphasis on review, which consequently takes more study time."
Kelly Anderson, Riverside, Calif. said, "At KU one has to study, but in high school one could get by without studying. I spend about two hours of concentrated study each day. One has to do more than what's required."
Judy Sarazan, Kansas City, Mo. said, "Some classes are too big. It seems teachers hardly have time to come around and give individual attention to each student."
John Suhler, Cross River, N.Y., added that "there is less chance for reliance on the teacher. There's more emphasis on individual research," he said, "your success depends on how you schedule your own time."
ALL OF THE STUDENT conceptions of the university were enthusiastic. Pam Stark, Salina, said, "I find KU is very relaxing and people are willing to help. I love it."
Marty Mitchell, Lake Forest, Ill. added, "It lives up to my conception of a university, but it is very conservative."
Lyn Rambo, Kansas City, Mo. said, "I really like it, the atmosphere is so friendly."
Kelly Anderson said, "I think that KU students are a little bit narrow-minded as far as their conception of moral behavior is concerned. They talk about what they do too much. Residence halls are underestimating the maturity of the individual."
Lois Borland, Altoona, closed with,
"KU seems awfully big."
