Manhattan

Boy, Male, Person, Teen, Face, Head, Food, Pizza, Eating, Portrait

K-State's main campus sits in "The Little Apple," and thrives in its vibrant college-town atmosphere. 

Manhattan is a great atmosphere to explore new possibilities in a welcoming environment. In fact, the city was ranked one of the Top 10 college towns in the nation by the American Institute of Economic Research in 2017. 

Employees love Manhattan because it's big enough to offer opportunities and adventures but small enough to center on the university. 

Visit the Manhattan Area Chamber and Manhattan Convention and Visitors Bureau and learn how you are Made for Manhattan.
