Kansas State University rises from the prairies of the heartland as a beacon of outstanding education, innovative research, and diverse culture. Traditions like the wildly popular Wildcats football and basketball games and the annual Fake Patty’s Day festivities (held during spring break, about a week before Saint Patrick’s Day) are huge for the entire community, students and non-students alike. The university is surrounded on three sides by residential neighborhoods, giving you a wealth of options when it comes to finding a place to live. Renting near the west end of campus will put you closest to the sports facilities like Bill Snyder Family Stadium, whereas the south side is home to most of the major administration and classroom buildings. Downtown Manhattan sits just off the southeast corner of the K-State campus, so living in this area offers a terrific balance between the academic environment of the university and the popular off-campus restaurants, coffeehouses, and nightlife.
