I'm a long time lurker. I created this account literally just so I can provide a different perspective than what has already been posted. Kansas, like any other state, has its ups and downs and I know that people will inevitably have different experiences. But I will say that K-State's MA program is excellent. Because they don't have a PhD program, the faculty devotes a ton of attention and time to their MA students. When I was there I received SO many professional development opportunities that just aren't typically available at bigger programs (which definitely helped me get into PhD programs). The stipend is somewhat tight, but living in Manhattan is affordable. There are many opportunities for travel funding and networking. The city is fun and there is a small airport in Manhattan, which makes travel a breeze. I would highly recommend this program 10/10.
