Now that you have finally arrived, here are 10 key terms that you should know to navigate campus and Lawrence.
Campanile: (CAMP-uh-NEE-lee) One of the most famous landmarks on campus. The campanile was built to honor students and alumni who did during World War II. Walking through the hollowed bell tower after graduation is a University tradition, but if you walk through it before it is considered a curse that prevents you from graduating.
The Underground: If you're looking for a place to grab a quick bite between classes, The Underground is the place to go. Located in Wescoe, The Underground offers a variety of food from Chick-fil-A to Pizza Hut and healthier options such as salad and wraps.
Wescoe Beach: (WES-ko) Yes it is called a beach, but don't go looking for sand or water. The newly reconstructed Wescoe Beach has added seating, light poles, trees and even electrical outlets.
UDK: The University Daily Kansan, which is the campus newspaper, will keep you informed.
The Hawk: Formally known
as Jayhawk Cafe, 1340 Ohio Street., it's a good place to grab cheap drinks. It is more known as a Greek bar and if you are 21 and over you might be overage.
Mass Street: Massachusetts Street has everything, from places to shop to restaurants to bars. If you are ever bored, venture down there for entertainment.
UCC: Located in the Burge Union, the University Career Center is the place to go when looking for jobs or internships.
Chi Omega Fountain: (KI O-me-ga) Located on Jayhawk Boulevard and West Campus Road, the Chi Omega Fountain is a good place to cool down on a hot day.
Allen Fieldhouse: It has been called the Mecca of College Basketball and the best place to watch a college basketball game. Students camp out days before games to get a seat in the fieldhouse and pride themselves on making it the toughest place for an opposing team to play.
SUA: Student Union Activities organizes many events for students. The concerts to guest speakers are usually pretty cheap with your student ID.
