KU\u2019s Lawrence campus offers scenic views, secret spots, and spaces ideal for studying and hanging out. Check out this sweet 360\u02da tour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 1866, the University of Kansas welcomed the first class of 55 students to an unfinished building on a treeless ridge called Mount Oread.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Today, our enrollment sits at 28,500. From that single building, we have grown to five campuses \u2014 the Lawrence campus, the Edwards Campus in Overland Park, and medical branches in Kansas City, Wichita, and Salina. The once barren landscape has grown into a wooded campus considered one of the most beautiful in the nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We embrace our role as the state\u2019s flagship university and a premier research institution, serving the state, nation, and world. We celebrate the energy and compassion that infuse the Jayhawk spirit. And we remain true to our historic values: the elevating force of education, the transformative power of research, and the healing power of service.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
