There are certain professors who are EXTREMELY approachable and helpful at Kansas State. If you are lucky enough to find them you will have an extremely successful time attending graduate school at K-State. I came in on a federal fellowship, and finished with a very generous RA position in Agronomy. On the otherhand, the administration seems to be oblivious of the student body as a whole. Offices all across campus close from 11:30 AM - 1:30 PM, and most close for business by 4:30 PM. Registration is a pain in the butt, and costs $4 more if you try to do it via the web - so what's the point? Additionally, budgets are so tight that some departments do NOT interact very well - mostly due to long standing funding issues, so beware of this before attempting to do inter-disciplinary research. If you enjoy outside activities you'll love Manhattan, but if you're looking for lots of exciting cultural activities you're looking in the wrong place. Most people from Kansas are really great - but be aware of an underlying moral majority/Christian ethos that sometimes translates into open racism, homophobia and/or sexism.
