Manhattan and Salina campuses

Both campuses will be a blur of activity as K-State springs to life. Even if your career interests change with the frequency of a chameleon, each college will showcase academic exhibits to match all stripes and highlight the majors you're considering.

Our campus hot spots at Open House include a menagerie of treats like the chemistry magic show, Formula One race car design, and games like "Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?" or "Who Wants to be a Wildcat?" You can sample food galore and drop by Call Hall for some ice cream to top it off.

Check out 250 majors, learn about more than 400 campus organizations, and discover how you can leave your mark at K-State. No reservations are required for your adventure. Pick up a program and map at the Union, and you’re on your way.
