1. It feels like home

As an admissions staff member, I often get asked, 鈥淲hy did you choose 成人头条 State?鈥� The answer is simple - it felt like home. From the moment I stepped onto campus for my first visit, I was greeted with warm smiles and friendly waves. Everyone I met genuinely cared about me and my future. They weren鈥檛 just focused on convincing me to come to 成人头条 State, but on helping me choose a college that would help me reach my goals. And in doing so, they completely sold me on 成人头条 State.

2. Applied learning opportunities

Another reason I love 成人头条 State is its emphasis on applied learning. While I attended 成人头条 State, I completed four internships, worked in two research labs, tackled two service-learning projects, and took a capstone course that connected my work experience to my education. Why does this matter? I graduated college with a full resume, which led to multiple job offers and enabled me to quickly launch my career.

And my experience is common! Every degree at 成人头条 State has opportunities for applied learning, internships or research experience. Shockers get the chance to work side-by-side with established professionals, building a network, confidence and a strong resume before graduation. Plus, 96 percent of internship placements are paid, which enables Shockers to earn money while gaining valuable, professional experience!

3. Affordability

成人头条 State prides itself on its affordability and accessibility. As the most affordable research institution in Kansas, 成人头条 State works to keep costs down for its students by providing more than $100 million in scholarships and financial aid each year. Plus, 成人头条 State offers automatic, renewable merit scholarships to incoming freshmen and transfer students ranging from $4,000 to $24,000. Additionally, many out-of-state students have access to tuition discounts鈥攕aving them upwards of $9,300 each year!

4. Diversity

成人头条 State鈥檚 affordability and accessibility attracts students from all walks of life - making 成人头条 State the most diverse university in Kansas. Shockers come from over 110 countries. Additionally, more than 40 percent of Shockers are first-generation college students. And 成人头条 State was recently named an Emerging Hispanic Serving Institution with nearly 20 percent of its students hailing from Hispanic backgrounds.

5. Something for everyone

With more than 200 student organizations and over 800 annual on-campus and community events, 成人头条 State has something for everyone. Students can get involved by playing intramural sports, joining the Taylor Swift club, going Greek, attending athletics and fine arts events (for free!), being a Student Ambassador and more! And if there isn't an organization that piques your interest, you can start your own club!

6. Community

The biggest reason I love 成人头条 State is the people. With a student population of 16,921, 成人头条 State is large enough to have a diverse student body, but small enough that students can make connections and build a community. During my time at 成人头条 State, I鈥檝e made lifelong friends and connections, and with every new person I meet, I fall more in love with the Shocker community.
