I'm really happy I chose K-state. It has a small town feel but not too small. It could improve on their facilities which they are slowly completing year by year. I would highly recommend for anyone wanting to pursue an agricultural degree. They have so many options and even more opportunities. They are highly respected in the agriculture industry.

Salina is a terrible city for this school to be located in. Nothing and I mean NOTHING is here. The smarter students transfer out during or after their freshman year to a real school. Not to mention the professors and student instructors feel like they are god because they get to wear a pretend uniform everyday. Don't waste your time or money.
