What smart guy living in New Haven, CT would go to the Univ. of
Kansas so he could get a quality Liberal Arts degree?

Lawrence Kansas is a very nice town. I happen to think Kansas is a
pretty decent school. I had an uncle on the faculty there. Dean of the
law school, actually. Someone in CT might find it a bit distant.

I looked to see what Univ. of Kansas was ranked, and it is ranked 89th
among National Universities with a score of 41 out of a 100. 92% of
everyone who applied to Univ. Of Kansas were accepted.

As a comparison, Columbia and the other Ivy League schools, who are
known to be extremely selective, accept about 10% of their applicants.
Since these schools are known to be very selective, only the best of the
best even bother to apply and pay the $85 application fee.
