K-State offers everything you could want in a college experience. Small class sizes means 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 unlike any you've ever seen before. K-State is truly a fantastic shool!
Kansas State University has a comforting, welcoming, high quality campus and environment! The people were so kind and helpful, when needed. They really want you to join the cat family, no matter your situation. Not only will you get a excellent education, but friends that last a lifetime. You create exciting memorable moments partying, hanging, and tailgating on gamedays. I recommend KSU to any students who just loves to have a good time, but also can handle their studies. I really wouldn't change much but maybe the cost of overall yearly tuition. I wish college in general was more affordable.
Very helpful with incoming freshman. Personal follow up calls and info provided. Extremely informative meeting with academic advisor. Provided for requirements and schedules for intended major for entire four years. Campus tour was comprehensive and allowed a view into campus. Campus offers a wide variety of activities, jobs, tutoring, safety features, study environments. My daughter likes how the campus is contained in a smaller radius than other large colleges. She said even though it is a larger college, it doesn’t feel so big. The majority of housing has been updated with suites and some new housing construction. The eating facilities are new with a never ending variety of dining selections. The rev center is free to students with full gym, offers intramural sports. The town of Manhattan itself has everything to offer that cities have, shopping mall, restaurants and fast food eateries, movie theaters, bars etc. Parent KState 30 years ago. Enjoyed wildcat experience.
