The major reason for choosing K-State was the cost. When I arrived I fell in love with the campus and the people in Manhattan. I am who I am today because of the experiences and the knowledge that I have gained here at K-state. I believe a good education from a renowned university like K-State will help me find my dream job.

The friends that I met during orientation helped me a lot during tough times. I get a lot of help from tutors and professors when I do not understand something.

How she chose K-State:

My advisor from the previous university gave me a list of universities that I could apply for and one of them was K-State. To be honest, the major reason for choosing k-state was the cost. However, when I arrived at K-state I fell in love with the campus and the people in Manhattan and I was glad that I made the right choice.

Transitioning to university life:

We used to go for many K-state organized activities during our free times to meet new people and of course to have some fun. In my department, I used to and still do get a lot of help from tutors and professors when I do not understand something.

Biggest K-State benefit:

K-state has taught me many things since I arrived here. I am who I am today because of the experiences and the knowledge that I have gained here at K-state. I believe a good education from a renowned university like k-state will help me in finding my dream job.
