One of the most unique aspects of K-state compared to the other schools I considered such as Princeton, Colorado School of Mines, and Kansas University, is the atmosphere of the campus. People here actually care about your success. You can ask even the Deans of Colleges and they won't send you away with the excuse that you should've talked to someone under them. They will sit with you and talk even if it's just to talk to you.

Kansas State University is there for the student: I have never seen a university so involved in students' lives. If a student is lost on campus, there are any number of people ready and willing to get them where they need to go. There is a counseling center for the students' psychological needs, a tutoring center for the students' educational needs, a career counseling center for their professional needs, and a legal center for their legal needs. The professors are willing and ready to invest in their students' lives, and there is a general atmosphere of community in the school.

The atmosphere is focused more on academics than the other aspects of college life.

It is the perfect size... large enough to find your nitch, but not overwhelming. The architecture program is competitive, challenging, and nationally ranked.

K-State has a small-town feel to it. Even though it is a big-12 school, it still has a special quaintness to it.
Clara
My school is close to home, very accepting, and has a friendly atmostohere.

It's the biggest school I considered.

KSU boasts a fantastic student body, as well as uncomparable research facitilites. For instance, it houses the *only* particle accelerator in the Midwest! This makes it a fantastic Atomic/Molecular/Optical college. The football games are packed with excited students, and the library is always quiet with computers available at a moment's notice. KSU also boasts a new government research facility as well as wind tunnels for a similar purpose.
Jeffrey
To me Kansas State is one of the most friendly universities I have ever visited. That is what set it apart from other schools I considered. Also it has an unbelievable agriculture program.

It's a large campus (23,000 students) but it's a small school atmosphere; it's also extremely beautiful. Everyone is friendly and always willing to help each other. K-State was the first land-grant school in the country, having been founded in 1863. The school spirit is among the best in the nation; as is the sportsmanship among athletes. The unofficial fight song "Wabash Cannonball" is one of the best parts of going to sporting events because it's completely unique to K-State and gets everyone pumped for gameday.
