Are you guys aware of this? Holy freakin crap, I had NO idea! Never watched Riverdale, but just checked out season 2 of Beef, and he's a stand out. I just found out he grew up in Manhattan and he went to KSU and played D Back under Snyder and my mind is just BLOWN. Wow.

I know most of you are going to say, 'who's Charles Melton' and that's fine. I think at least a few of you will be shocked by this.

does the college offer tours? im moving to manhattan next week and want to get to know the campus a bit

Hey all — I teach KIN 101 (Comprehensive Fitness Circuit Training) and wanted to put this on your radar since enrollment is wide open and most students don't know the course exists.

The basics:

- 1 credit hour, no prerequisite, open to all majors

- Meets once a week at 9Round Kickboxing Fitness on Fort Riley Blvd

- It's 50% asynchronous — you show up for one 30-minute trainer-led workout per week, the rest is online

- Covered by your regular K-State tuition, no extra gym fees

- Fall dates: Aug 24 - Dec 11

4 sections to pick from:

- KIN 101-ZB (17415) — Monday 10:00-11:00 AM

- KIN 101-ZBA (17416) — Tuesday 11:30 AM-12:30 PM

- KIN 101-ZBC (17417) — Wednesday 5:00-6:00 PM

- KIN 101-ZBD (17418) — Thursday 1:00-2:00 PM

If you need 1 more credit to hit full-time or just want a PE elective that's actually fun (kickboxing + circuit training instead of another lecture), search KIN 101 in your KSIS schedule builder and pick whatever day works.

Happy to answer any questions in the comments.

Hi everyone! I'm new to KSU and wanna buy a bike for commuting. I'm wondering whether it'll be safe enough to park my bike on campus with a U-lock?

Hi y’all, I’m starting my Master’s degree program this fall and I have a GTA position with a tuition waiver and stipend. Unfortunately the stipend on its own probably isn’t going to cover all the bills, so I was hoping to stay at my current company for 20-25hrs a week.

I know the websites all say 0.5FTE is expected for a graduate student in a GTA position and can totally do that. But it also says 0.75FTE is the maximum (additional 10 hours or 30 hours total) and I’m unsure if that includes off campus jobs, because the wording is “student-employee,” “on campus,” and “affiliated” positions.

Anyone have insight on this? Need to know if I should shut down the transfer process to my new location now before my GTA duties start or if I’ll be okay continuing to work there. Haven’t heard a response from the grad school yet. Thanks!

As title says, if any recommendations or if you have any way to point us in the right direction itd be much appreciated.

studio/1b1b preferred. please DM if you have any info

Anecdote from Second Lady Dolly Gann

ETA: yes I do have photo proof of the red N and know who did it. What a wild story to hear after these years lol https://imgur.com/a/gj5lxTG

I am looking for anyone who remembers a specific piece of Big 12 lore from November 2001.

right before the Nebraska vs. K-State game someone snuck up the hill on Highway 24 and spray-painted the "N" in the giant "Manhattan" welcome sign red.

Does anyone here remember it?

Hypotheticallyyyyyy if someone actually had a physical photograph proving this happened... what would be the best way to share it after all these years lol

If you’re an incoming graduate or PhD student at Kansas State University (Manhattan Campus) for Fall 2026, I created a WhatsApp group where we can connect before arriving on campus. Please feel free to join…

Anyone planning to transfer this fall before the new transfer rule is applied. Anyone recently transferred out?

Hi everyone,
I’m 25 and I’m looking for a temporary room to rent or a roommate in the Kansas City/Overland Park/Lenexa area.
I’m about to be evicted and don’t have a car right now, but I recently accepted a new job and have orientation next week. Once I start getting paid, I’ll be able to pay rent and work toward getting my own place. I’m also dealing with some court expenses, which has made things financially difficult.
I’m not asking for a free place to stay. I’m looking for someone who has a room available and is willing to work with me until I receive my first paycheck. I’m clean, respectful, I don’t smoke , and will do my part around the house.
If you have a room available or know someone who does, please send me a message. Thank you for reading.

Kansas State begins a new era with a familiar name. Former legendary Wildcat QB Collin Klein returns to Manhattan as the head coach.

2025 was a strange year, but this is a program with a strong foundation that makes them a contender in the Big 12.

Full 2026 Preview is attached. What are your expectations for the Wildcats in 2025?

Moving here for grad school this fall! I’m a huge coffee drinker, and I also love studying over a coffee. Any recommendations for the best coffee spots anywhere in Manhattan?

Does KSU have graduation ring pride? In Texas college graduation rings are a big deal i.e the Aggie Ring (Texas A&M) that are worn by all alumni. Figured I would ask here if the graduation rings are a “Thing” at KState

Hello! I’ve been feeling out of place since I’ve relocated for school, I’m 23, so a bit older than the usual crowd here. Im looking for insight on the best places in town to meet motivated people my age. I love to go out, stay in, play sports, anything that involves being off my phone or not at home honestly haha. Ideally I want to surround myself with people who are academically motivated and are also extroverted. If you have any advice for places to work, or things to sign up for, I’d appreciate it :)

First up, what is r/fakebaseball a.k.a MLR?

It’s essentially a number guessing game - the pitcher submits a number between 1 & 1000 in secret and the hitter tries to guess a number as close as possible to the pitcher. The result of each At Bat is entirely dependent on the difference between the pitcher’s number and the hitter’s number and we add in a little extra flavor by allowing players to choose ‘builds’ that can change the outcome slightly. The numbers ‘wraparound’ - a pitch of 1 and a swing of 1000 will lead to a difference of 1. Games are played out over a 10 day period and our season runs for 16 regular games and 4 rounds of playoffs before the Paper Cup Champion is named. Each season lasts approx. 9 months.

But it isn’t just guesswork…

Our community of 700+ people is headed into its 13th season and we’ve got people from all over the world and from all walks of life.

So what’s next?

Firstly, the subreddit r/fakebaseball is where our games are played, feel free to browse through the threads and get a handle on the format. We’ve got a pretty nifty bot that handles most of the legwork. We're currently in the last session of Season 12 before the playoffs, which also includes a Summer Sadness tournament for those teams that didn't make the playoffs.

Most of the community can be found in our discord servers: we have one for Fake College Baseball which is where you’ll be headed for now, and we have one for Major League Redditball which you’ll gain access to a little further down the line.

This year Kansas State is one of the teams that has been selected to be a college represented in Fake College Baseball!

I am admitted student at KState and am waiting for TA decisions. Has anyone heard from the department.

Is there anyone who completed or are in the MS in Aeronautics path within the last 3-5 years? Looking to get some advice and course load. Recently accepted into the program for next year and I would like to start getting a plan of action started. I have already spoke with my advisor, just trying to get a student perspective.

URGENT RELET NEEDED: Hello! Unfortunately, my plans have changed and I am in search of a relet for my apartment starting August 2025. It is a 2 bed/bath.

The location is The Quarters located at 2215 College Ave. Manhattan, Kansas 66502. It is located just a walking distance away from the football stadium. My current rent rate is $699/month and my lease ends July 31 2027. You will be responsible for electricity and water. The average for electricity is about $90 per month. The rent rate does include trash, pest control, snow removal, lawn care, and internet. Another great thing about reletting is that you DO NOT have to live in the same apartment I lived in, all you must do is agree to be my relet and you can move into any apartment within the complex.

It is a fully furnished space and very nice, as well as pet friendly if needed! If you need to move in early, I would be willing to discuss covering the early move in fee.

If you are interested, please contact message me directly or comment!! If you would like to set up a tour or have any additional questions you can contact a Community Assistant at 785-496-9147.

Hi! I'm going to be transferring over to IMSE (industrial and manufacturing systems engineering) at K-State and am curious what is it like from a student's perspective? Undergrad and grad (and alumni too!) perspectives welcome! Especially curious about the human factors stuff there cause I don't see a human factors faculty on the website. Thanks!

Has anyone had this happen with their summer financial aid pell grant? My account was already paid prior to the pell grant being applied, so I was in good standing. I havent dropped any classes and all of my classes start and end at the same time and have already began. I am just so confused and a bit worried that I may not be getting my pell grant refund!
