There is a lot of school spirit among the students, faculty, alumni, and community. The academic counselors and the Dean of Student Life make each student feel welcome. There are also a lot of free organizations on campus to help students academically, financially, and personally.

It is a really good hometown feel if you are from a small town like I am. Everyone is very friendly and down to earth so it's really easy to feel at home. The classes are large but are not as large as some other college classes can get. Most of my classes are about 20-50 students in class with a few pretty big classes thrown into that. I like Kansas State because I am from a small community and it feels more like home unlike some other colleges around.

Kansas State University is unique compared to other schools I considered because it offers that small school atmosphere at a large university. Getting involved in your specific college, you get to know and befriend many diverse friends while still enjoying the top level education of a larger university. The professors provide ample opportunites for one-on-one assistance in addition to the tutor sessions provided by the university. The university does an exceptional job of making you feel like part of a family: people know you are here and care about your academic as well as life success.

Kansas State has a comfortable feeling around campus. It is not uncommon for people to go out of their way to help someone when they appear to need help. The students are incredibly loyal and 'live and die' for wearing and supporting purple.

One of the major deciding factors that lead me to choose K-State was their caring nature. This school is truly student-oriented and they do everything that they can to make my life and studies work for me. In addition, K-State offered an entrepreneurship major and a leadership studies minor, which very few other schools have. Finally, K-State offered me a very generous financial aid package.

Something that is unique about Kansas State University is that it was the first land grant college in the country. K-State has great passion and pride in their school and for their sports teams as they battle in the Big 12 conference. The student sections at home football and basketball games are second to none. Kansas State has a rich history of great alumni supporters and donors. The relatively close proximity of campus buildings gives K-State a community-like feel for students and faculty.

It is a big 12 school and has a respectable sports venue. It also has one of the most respected theatre programs and since theatre is my major that is really important. The classes I can take are very diverse and intellectual rather than boring and uninteresting. Also it is still close to my family but not right under them, it is a good middle ground for moving away.

Kansas State University has just the right atmosphere for a small town middle class student to experience a diverse learning experience. KSU is friendly, has many careers to explore and excellent teachers to help you reach your goals. I would recommend KSU to anyone.
Lance
K-State is unique because it is a big school, but it feel s like a small school. The Dean of Student Life goes out of his way to make underclassmen feel important and to help you out when he can. K-State offers lots of underclassmen scholarships which help a lot when you're trying to pay for college. Out of the public universities in Kansas, I think K-State is the most friendly and helpful.
