Can’t say anything about K State’s program, but I moved from the North East to pursue a masters at a Kansan University. Get ready for culture shock. The state is ugly... it resembles a sprawling parking lot. The weather is awful (invest in sunscreen or you will get skin cancer). Evangelical Christianity is everywhere. The politics will make your head spin. There’s very little to do in comparison to other parts of the country and it costs a fortune to fly home/anywhere else. Public transit doesn’t exist. The food is... I could go on and on but thankfully my time in this hellish state is drawing to a close.
