I felt very involved and loved as I had my campus tour! Met up with a club president which coincided with my intended major and made me even more excited! I cannot wait to fully attend and move down there. The campus is beautiful and incredibly home-y. The school colors aren't too shabby, either. I definitely recommend it! I love the look of Manhattan, too. Looking forward to study groups and getting together with people to further my education!
Kansas State University has been my home away from home for three years now. The environment is beyond welcoming and friendly. In fact, a common phrase that you hear from high school seniors and juniors coming on tours here is, "Everyone is so friendly here."
This place gave me the opportunity to step out of my comfort zone and join Greek life. The Greek life on campus is unique in that we are all a community that roots for one another, but still competes hard for the coveted Homecoming 1st Place Win.
Another thing unique about K-State is the opportunities to get involved in Undergraduate Research whatever your major may be. I am involved in two different research labs currently, and both of them have taught me valuable skills to prepare for Graduate school and my future career. K-State has given me the best three years of my life thus far, and I can't wait for the fourth!

When I first stepped foot on this campus I immediately felt at home. There is a family atmosphere that wasn’t at any of the other colleges I looked at. The professors are cool, the classes are fun, and the sporting events are amazing! I am currently a freshman on the rowing team. With that being said, I do get a little bit more things than an average student. I get free tickets to all the football and basketball games, amazing breakfast and dinner, and I’ve made amazing friends. If you’re a student athlete or just a student, definitely come to K-State.
