Kansas State University Top Questions

somewhat

Absolutely not.

K-State may be in Kansas, but in my opinion its not a hick school. I am from a city that has almost half a million people and although I may see more guys wearing cowboy boots and more silverado trucks, I would never say that my school is a hick school. As for having nothing to do, I disagree there as well. Manhattan may be small but the people are friendly and its small radius is packed full of fun. There were very few nights my freshman year when my friends and I were bored...very few.

This is accurate, since the college of Agriculture is one of the most prevelent colleges at the University

Well, we do have students from very rural places in Kansas, as well as all over the Midwest. For example, I constantly saw a student who wore cowboy boots tucked into blue jeans, a huge belt buckle, a flannel shirt tucked in, cowboy hat, and a horseshoe mustache. That aside, the rest of us are actually quite normal.

yes and no. I would say there are some kids that fit the decision but most don't. Most of the people I know come from cities like St. louis or Kansas city, even Wichita.

In some ways, yes but not over all. KSU has a population made up of students from all over the world, including China! Also, you can find some pretty neat stuff to do, from jumping around to live bands outside your dorm room, to participating in campus socials that include japanese dancing and wax hand making.

No. Yes, there are quite a few ag kids and kids from small towns, but there are also a TON of kids from cities. As for the party school part...Manhattan has it's fun! :) I personally grew up in a town a lot smaller than Manhattan so I think there is a heck of a lot to do. People that can't find anything to do are lame.

What I said above is what I have observed. I don't know about other stereotypes because I didn't grow up in KS.

NO!!! We have people in from every state, tons of countries, and almost all major cities! One of my rommmates is from Chicago.
