Satisfying and not satisfying. Public transport is easy to get used to.

Tips: First thing you should know is to decide where you want to stay. Off-campus is definitely a better choice if you have financial challenges. Given that you can afford it, on-campus housing would be better if you love to be engaged with the student community and want to know what going on around. I received a scholarship of 9000 dollars per semester but that is because I applied through Shorelight. If you apply through an agency, then they probably have some sort of contacts and you get scholarship based on that contact. However, if you apply yourself, you can even get 100 percent scholarship. But if you apply through someone else, they won't tell you this so make sure you apply yourself. Usually, you have to write an essay to get the scholarship and submit your SAT test scores. I think I am pretty satisfied with the university in terms of its quality of education. However, because Kansas is mostly farming land and it is slow paced state as compared to other states, people who are interested in IT area of study would struggle to get post graduation job. Construction companies are in good numbers here but for Software engineers etc., it will most probably be a lot harder to find a job.

Likes (Public transportation): The whole town is connected through various bus routes. Bus is the main public transportation in Lawrence. Since it's a small town, buses are easily able to cover most of the main areas, especially downtown. If you don't own a car, it would be totally fine. This is how convenient and easy it is to travel using public transportation.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Since University of Kansas is situated in a small town called Lawrence in Kansas state, you won't find many options to immigrate permanently. My chances are low because the options I know to get permanent settled here are: 1. Get married 2. Find a job on OPT and get H1b visa 3. Find a lawyer to file eb3 unskilled visa for you Problem with first option is that I do not want to get married right now just for the sake of permanent residence. Second option is based on luck because they do a lottery for h1b visa. Third can be quite expensive.
