Kansas State University is located in Manhattan, KS, in the rolling Flint Hills, approximately 100 miles west of Kansas City. Manhattan has a population of over 53,000 residents, and student enrollment at KSU is nearly 22,000 students. The surrounding area offers excellent opportunities for outdoor activities, including camping, boating, hunting, fishing, hiking, and biking. Mainly due to the university's influence, cultural and sporting events are at a level of frequency and quality unheard of by most cities this size. Furthermore, Manhattan offers affordable housing, robust elementary, middle, and high school programs, and a crime rate that is half the national average. In short, Manhattan offers a variety of urban amenities yet retains the best qualities of a small university town. For more information, visit our website at cba.ksu.edu.
