K-State is truly a special place. Nestled in the Flint Hills, Manhattan is the #1 College Town in America.  It is home to a family environment filled with people who genuinely care. Other places may talk about it, but at K-State you don't have to be here long to experience it in action.

And our family is growing every day. Nearly $200 million of new facilities have opened in the last two years, with the $65 million Vanier Football Complex the latest to open its doors. Manhattan is the fastest growing metro in the state of Kansas, and Riley County is among the top-20 nationally in economic growth. More high school seniors choose K-State than any other university in the state, and another record enrollment this year means K-State has the largest on-campus student body in Kansas.

Add it all up, and it 's a great time to be a Wildcat.
