As a First year ksu student, I am loving it! So many great people...students and teachers alike, clubs are fantastic. Purdue is good too...if you can afford it. I am from IL and there are quite a few Indiana, Ohio, and farther east people. Campus definitely has a small town, family feel...I could not ask for a better start! My professors are all being more than accommodating for me when I will miss class in October for National FFA Convention. Right now in first year level classes, they are pretty easy, very basic, but we have to remember about 2/3 of kids in the classes have never seen a cow...some have never had any animals, period, not even a dog, cat fish, nothing! I live off campus, and the partying is not out of hand I would say it is below average. I absolutely love it out here! A really nice thing is that the farms are all close to campus (15minutes is the farthest and it is just a pasture for the cow calf or stocker unit). Plus campus is very easy to get around, whether walking or driving...it is also fairly small, so you don't have half hour walks to a class typically. Only bummer is that until after 5 the only place for non permit parking is in the union parking garage, but after 4 or 5 you can park in any lot with out a permit. It is pretty easy to transfer credits out. Ksu has big engineering, architecture, and ag programs(all of them). I would recommend for anyone interested in an ag related field to give us a good look!
