What is your favorite K-State memory?

Why should a prospective student choose K-State?

I believe a prospective student should choose K-State because K-State becomes your home away from home. Once you step foot on campus, you understand the true meaning of why you are a member of the K-State Family.

What would be your top tip for students?

Create a schedule for your semester. Block out time for studying, classes, etc., but also plan time to do fun things with your friends. Make sure you plan time to have fun so you don't burn yourself out on all your school work. Also, it is best to get ahead on your studies because procrastination is not your friend in college.

What is your favorite K-State memory?

When things were not so electronic, more personal contact with the students and families, I think students had a better understanding of the process, put a name to the face. Because they came in vs. emails or texting questions, etc.

How long have you worked in the OSFA?

July 1988

Why should a prospective student choose K-State?

Students aren't just a number, we care about our students and families and do whatever we can to help them, we go the extra mile.

What would be your top tip for students?

Ask questions, go to the source, read the information being sent to them, don't just leave it up to your parents to check on things.

How long have you worked in the OSFA?

March 2005

Why should a prospective student choose K-State?

The professors and staff are caring and top-notch and will challenge you to be the best person you can be. You will be welcomed into the K-State family with open arms.

What would be your top tip for students?

Read your e-mails sent to your K-State e-mail account and check your KSIS account frequently. This is how we (and many other offices) will communicate with you regarding important deadlines, missing information, etc.
