Campus life FAQs
1. What kind of clubs and organizations are available?
K-State has 400 different student organizations to choose from, so you have plenty of choices. Be sure to go to the Activities Carnival during the first week of school. All of the organizations will be there, and you’ll get information about groups and activities for the semester.

2. Do I have to live on campus?
You don’t have to live on campus, but 90 percent of incoming freshmen choose some sort of organized living (residence halls, scholarship houses, or Greek houses). It’s a great way to get to know other students and get connected to K-State.
3. Can I have a car at K-State?
You don’t need a car, but you can bring one. Because our campus is compact, you can walk from one end of campus to the other in 10 minutes. So if you live in one of K-State’s nine residence halls (all on campus), you’ll have no problem getting to class on time without a car. If you want to bring your car, you can purchase a parking permit during orientation.
4. Can I work my freshman year?
Many students have part-time jobs, even as freshmen. K-State makes getting a part-time job easy. There’s a job fair at the K-State Student Union during the first week of classes. Campus departments and local businesses will be there looking to hire students. Last year K-State had a $14 million student payroll, and the minimum campus wage is $6.50/hour.
