During that time, Kansas State University will provide transportation from the Manhattan Airport to the K-State Manhattan campus for all new international students arriving during those days. Shuttle details and sign-up will be emailed to students with issued visas. Early arrival Housing Housing opens for international students early since you are required to arrive for new student orientation. This will have an additional early move-in fee associated with it. Please visit the Housing and Dining website for more details.
