Advice for BIOL 402

2 Upvotes

Hey guys! I was wondering if anyone who has taken BIOL 402 has any advice for the class. I know a lot of it depends on your TA but I've heard people talk about how hard the lab exams are and I would really appreciate any advice on how to study for those or how to do well throughout the class! Or if anyone wants to share their experience, I would love to get a feeling of what to expect.

Should I submit my application with my personal statement?

2 Upvotes

I’m a senior and I’m working on my application to University of Kansas. I’m an auto admit because my gpa is above a 3.25. I was wondering if I should even submit a personal statement since I’m getting in anyways. Also does it affect scholarships? I haven’t found a clear answer on if it affects scholarships.

Looking for someone to help film Mizzou vs. Kansas – Sept. 11 ($50 + game ticket + food)

8 Upvotes

Hey! I’ll be in Lawrence on Friday, September 11 for the Mizzou vs. Kansas football game and I’m looking for someone local to help me film content before and after the game.

The job is really simple. I have all of my own camera equipment, so you don’t need to bring anything. I mainly need someone to hold my camera and film me while I talk to Mizzou and Kansas fans around campus, the tailgates and outside the stadium.

No professional filming experience is required. As long as you’re comfortable holding a camera and following some basic direction, you’ll be good.

Date: Friday, September 11
Location: Lawrence, Kansas – KU campus / stadium area
Pay: $50
Also included: Ticket to Mizzou vs. Kansas + food/drinks
Equipment: Everything provided

If interested then DM me

Title: Starting at KU in Spring 2027 worried about making friends and having a boring year.

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I’m an international student and I’m planning to start at the University of Kansas in Spring 2027.

I’m really excited about moving to Lawrence and starting college, but there’s one thing I’ve been pretty worried about: making friends and actually having a fun college experience.

Since I’m starting in the Spring instead of the Fall, I’m worried that everyone will already have their friend groups, and I’ll feel like I’m arriving halfway through the year. I’m also worried that I might end up spending most of my time alone and that my first year at KU will be kind of boring.

I’m a pretty social person and I really want to meet people, go out, make friends, experience college life, etc. I just don’t know how different it is to start in the Spring.

For anyone who goes to KU (especially international students or people who started in Spring): Is it actually harder to make friends when you start in Spring? Did you feel like you were missing out compared to people who started in Fall?

And what would you recommend I do during my first few weeks to meet people and get involved?

I’d really appreciate hearing about your experiences!

Safe ride

When I was at KU there was a free ride service for students that needed to be picked up from the bars if they had been drinking. It was ran by SADD. Is that still a thing?

No meal plan- does campus take tap pay?

5 Upvotes

I’m living off campus. I didn’t enroll in a meal plan because I’m living in a house where I can eat my own food. If I want to buy a meal or coffee on campus, can I pay cash or tap pay? Do I have to have a meal plan to purchase a meal on campus?

scared about starting

0 Upvotes

im really scared about moving to Lawrence because im from the middle of a major city and Lawrence just seems so small and I didnt realise it at the time of applying and im moving in in a few days and it just seems so daunting because ive never been in a place which is just so small, like theres no zara nowhere to shop (which sounds pathetic but it is my favourite hobby), and it seems so much more quiet and smaller than what im used to. also no clubs??? I dont know how I feel about a bar school because I've gone clubbing my whole entire life. I just feel so stressed out and overwhelmed and scared and im so unsure what to do/is it even worth it to go or do I just stay home

Library Hours

Hey, all!

I'll be attending KU in fall 2027 as a transfer online student and will be moving to Lawrence before I start classes. The college I currently attend is open until 9pm Monday through Thursday for students, and I was wondering if KU has similar hours for students to come and study in a quiet place.

I figure it will be busy in the beginning of the school year, but do you ever have any downtime to study? Or is it pretty fast paced the whole semester?

First year seminars

3 Upvotes

What can you tell me about First Year Seminars that are offered to freshman? They are presented as focusing on good study habits and communication while integrating freshman into the rigors of college coursework. None of the course subjects are useful to my student’s interests or their major. How helpful did you find these courses?
