Lawrence is home to the University of Kansas, and the university’s research, medical and engineering programs bring faculty, recruiters, visiting scholars and industry partners to town year-round. The city has a history that runs deeper than most college towns: it was founded by antislavery settlers in 1854 and burned during Quantrill’s raid in 1863. Basketball has its own special place here, since James Naismith, the game’s inventor, coached at KU, and his original rules are displayed on campus.

Lawrence sits about 40 miles west of Kansas City, but the trip from Kansas City International takes close to an hour, which adds up on a quick campus visit or game day. Lawrence Municipal Airport is just north of the Kansas River, minutes from downtown and campus, so flying private puts you on Massachusetts Street in time for dinner. Visitors come for the atmosphere of Allen Fieldhouse, the Spencer Museum of Art, the KU Natural History Museum and an independent downtown full of bookstores, music venues and restaurants, with Clinton Lake just west of town.
