Essentially Flyertalk / KU vs. K-State Academics
« on: December 28, 2012, 09:25:12 PM »
Ok, so my first year of college I went to a community college where I took Trig and Calculus 1. They transferred to K-State respectively as those classes. I have a friend that goes to that same community college(a KU fan), but is transferring to KU next year. He get's really really offended for some reason when I talk about how hard Calc 2 or any other math class is at K-State. I really don't understand why he gets so butthurt. Anyway, he said that he is taking Trig and Calc 1 at the same community college. He told me that in order to get credit for Calc 1 at KU he had to take Calc 1 and 2 at the community college. That was confusing to me since mine transferred straight up pretty much. Well, he went on to say, "Since I have to take Calc 1 and 2 for it to transfer just as Calc 1 it means that the Math is just 5x harder at KU." I responded, "They better not be, because you will fail miserably."
He spent the weekend in Manhattan with me when KU came to get their asses kicked in football. The whole weekend the kid was passively talking crap on the K-State campus and just shoving in negative comments whenever he could about the things he saw on the campus. He said the K-State campus is far inferior to that of the KU campus and KU academics blows K-State's out of the water. He didn't even get to see the K-State campus in it's full before making these wild assumptions. I don't even argue with him about KU vs. K-State stuff, but it's just getting out of hand. Ever since he decided he is going to KU he has nothing good to say about K-State.
Can someone help me out with finding some stats for comparing the Universities? I want to be able to point out where each of the Universities are better than the other. There is no possible way that KU is that much harder or better in the Math department than K-State.
