The Strength of Community

On K-State’s Manhattan campus, you’re never just a number but part of a community that celebrates your successes, supports your challenges and feels like home. Since 1863, K-State has been rooted in its land-grant mission to pioneer access to education, advance innovation and provide an environment that puts others first.

In Manhattan, campus and community are one.

Nestled in the scenic Flint Hills, Manhattan blends small-town charm with big opportunities. You will find your place in this close-knit community, build lifelong connections and be inspired to lead, serve and excel.
