K-State offers everything you could want in a college experience. Small class sizes mean you get to know your instructors and your classmates. Everyone is friendly and the instructors truly care about your success. And you don't just sit in a classroom all day. The internships, research opportunities, and field experiences give you a real-world perspective of what to expect when in your career. There are endless majors, a ton of different student groups, and events and activities galore. Also, the city of Manhattan loves K-State! There are restaurants, bars, shopping, entertainment and a lot of outdoor activities. Also, don't believe the stereotype, there is nothing flat about Manhattan. You can hike in the flint hills and the sunsets are to die for

Average university. Heavy emphasis on research opportunities, and a huge biodefense lab is here. The best place to apply for research and your PhD because you will have nothing to do outside of school. There are not a whole lot of extracurriculars and you will have to travel far and wide to access any good shopping or entertainment. Have fun at our small Target!
