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.
