SPOTLIGHT

Second Year GA Sarah Fruth


"Manhattan is special because of the close knit community, the small town feel with big town access to Kansas City. There are lots of hiking trails, fun coffeeshops, and cool things to get involved. My favorite things are the city park pool, sand volleyball teams and getting involved in local communities."

Kansas State University

Kansas State University was founded in 1863 as the first land-grant university in the United States. In the decades that followed, K-State grew into a comprehensive university with nationally recognized programs. From undergraduate students, all the way to faculty and staff the entire K-State campus shares one thing in common, our Wildcat pride!

K-State Traditions

Before you come to K-State we want to introduce you to some of the traditions that make our university unique!


Royal Purple

Here at K-State we love our purple, royal purple to be specific! It is a simple symbol of our Wildcat Pride and while you may see it paired with white, black or even silver, purple alone remains the only official color since 1896.


Willie the Wildcat

K-State's beloved mascot is none other than Wille the Wildcat. He can be seen at sporting events, helping students move into their residence halls, or even supporting our Manhattan community!


Wabash Cannonball

In 1968 a fire in Nichols Hall destroyed all of the marching band's sheet music, except The Wabash Cannonball that the band director had taken home the night of the fire, and the rest is history! Today the Wabash can be heard and seen at every home game, even our coaches join in the fun!

A Glimpse of Campus

Our campus is known for beautiful limestone and castle like buildings. From our football stadium to the library you can't beat this view!

GA's Enjoying Campus

Manhattan, KS

K-State is located in Manhattan, Kansas, also known as the “Little Apple.” In the heart of the scenic Flint Hills region, Manhattan has a small-town feel with a population of about 56,000. Manhattan is 120 miles west of Kansas City, and serves a three-county regional area as a leader in education, health care, entertainment, culture and communication.
