and information on the Korean War and the University of Kansas' fallen soldiers. Potter's Lake, surrounding landscape, Memorial Stadium, and the Chi Omega fountain are visible from this site. The Vietnam memorial nearby honors the the University's soldiers' sacrifices during the war. It is an excellent place for reflection and clear thoughts. There are benches that encircle the Campanile, which is surrounded by serene landscaping. Study here, but don't walk through it unless you want to be here for a few extra years.

MEMORIAL DRIVE
Springtime is fast approaching and warmer temperatures have brought students out of winter hibernation. For many, rising temperatures mean spending more time outdoors. Games of Frisbee, football, and catch are valid ways to spend more time in the sun, but taking your studies outside is also an option. Wescoe Beach is often the arena for outdoor studies, but there is another option just down the road.

Memorial Drive provides a number of places to study. This boulevard features World War II Memorial Campanile, as well as the Korean and Vietnam War memorials. There are benches alongside each memorial that allow for quiet studies, whether reading, writing or reviewing.
All three sights provide a serene place to study. Also, they allow for learning outside of textbooks. Instead of taking a Facebook study break, one can look over the names of fallen soldiers, learn about the Korean War and listen to the chiming of the Campanile.
The Korean War Memorial site contains a stimulating sculpture
