LOCATION
Close proximity to campus is key for students

There comes a time when students move out of the residence balls and begin looking for an apartment or house for the upcoming year. The process is long and every little detail is taken into account, especially the location. Lawrence is a small town, but within it are countless places students can live. It all depends on where they want to reside.
Finding the right place to live depends on many aspects, like how close complexes are to campus, if it is walking distance, or if there are bus routes near by. A majority of students prefer to stay close to campus because it is an easy walk to classes or just a bus to catch. Zach Stegenga, a freshman from Overland Park, is searching for an apartment process along with three of his friends whom he met in his residence hall, Gertrude Sellars Pearson (GSP). Stegenga wants to live as close to campus as possible for many reasons.
"I like to be a part of things and not take my car everywhere I go, and I think location makes a tremendous role in making a decision of where to live, and being so close to campus is a big thing." Stegenga said. "It's nice to be able to walk to class rather than having to rely on buses."
Stegenga is involved in the Alumni Associa
tion and is a Student Ambassador.
"it's nice to be close to for all of those meetings during off hours when there's not a bus running" Stegenga said.

fighting for parking spots every day or waiting at bus stops. I didn't want to spend the money to drive to and from class every day or on the expensive parking passes."
"Location was one of the most important things to me, [it] definitely ranked in the top five." Snyder said. "It was very important to me to be within walking distance, even if it was a bit of a far walk. I was not interested in
careless students."
There are many places for rent in Lawrence that are farther from campus, and take more time to get to classes. Paige Kauffman, a junior from Littleton, Colo., used to live away

"It's a little far of a walk to campus but it is close enough," Snyder said. "I'm not living in the heart of the student ghetto which means parties don't keep me up and the quality of the houses is generally a little better since families and professors have lived in them rather than
from campus, and it led to longer travel for her to campus.
"Last year I lived at the Reserve and while it was a great place to live, it took me forever to get up and down Iowa in the morning and afternoons," Kauffman said. "This year I am living a lot closer to the University and Mass. Street and I prefer it."
The City of Lawrence Transit system partnered with KU on Wheels to make the bus route system more organized and convenient for students who live off campus. There are 18 different bus routes that transport students to and from campus from various locations throughout Lawrence. Kauffman uses the buses on a daily basis to get to her classes.
"The bus stop is right around the corner from my house, so I just walk out and hop on. It is about a ten minute ride if I go all the way to the Union. The bus system is convenient to go places because the buses come often and don't cost
money if you are a KU student," Kauffman said. "There also is the perk of not going through the struggle of finding a parking spot on campus which is usually a bit of a challenge. Overall I think the buses in Lawrence are a good resource if you are close to the university."
It is a hard decision to make when looking for an apartment, and for a majority of college students it most often comes down to location and cost efficient apartments or houses. There are so many places to choose from, but keep searching and eventually you will find the perfect place.

Students decide where to live based off how close they will be to campus. For students who live farther away from campus, they have to take bus routes or purchasing a parking passes into consideration.

Besides winning against Ohio state and Texas Tech, Kansas' largest victory was by five points against Texas and West Virginia.
On the bright side, tough stretches of games like this can prepare the jayhawks for a great NCAA tournament run. The mental toughness builds in this stretch.
If Kansas wants to win its ninth straight Big 12 title, the Jayhawks have no choice but to win these games. If the Jayhawks lose one game, they will have to hope for a loss to keep them in the running for the conference title.
Still, this isn't something new to Kansas basketball.
Last year, the Jayhawks had to battle at Kansas State, Texas A&M and Oklahoma State to finish out the season.

for 62 of the Jayhawks' 81 points, and it was the second consecutive game in which Engelman has scored over 20 points.
"There's poise and compose," Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson said. "There's a sense of calm, not without a heartbeat, but their huddles are tighter, their voices are louder."
It has become a theme that in each of Kansas' most recent wins, going back to the victory over Iowa State, the seniors have acted as leaders and played like veterans.
As Henrickson said, when Oklahoma made a second half run and cut the lead to single digits, it was Angel Goodrich who had the answer. Goodrich and Engelman were able to
"I felt like we were slowing up," Davis said. "We had to keep pushing the tempo. We had to keep attacking. We couldn't up. I was trying to get my teammates to be more aggressive. I knew I had to take over as a senior, as a captain. I just tried to push my teammates to give me the ball."
Davis and her teammates are familiar with fighting back from double-digit margins in the second half as they did against TCU and Iowa State, but against Oklahoma on Sunday it was the Jayhawks trying to hold off Oklahoma's run. Herickson and Davis both agreed that those situations gave them a lesson of how to handle the lead.
Henrickson said she made
Sophomore Chelsea Gardner also contributed 10 points and nine rebounds in the game.

The win is the second this season for the layhawks over a team ranked in the AP top-25 poll, and gives them a winning record in conference play at 7-6. Kansas still sits at sixth in the standings.
In the end, Davis had 24 points and 10 rebounds, Engelman had 21 points and five rebounds, and Goodrich had 17 points and 10 assists.
