Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Of all the buildings on campus, none boasts a higher quality quotient than the Charles E. Peters Recreation Complex. As slick and well-maintained as the students who frequent it, the rec center is a case study in University funds effectively spent. Its fellow facilities are functional, if less overtly impressive. The Union meets the baseline student center requirements—food court, bookstore, mini-mart, bowling alley, and movie theater all included. Seasoned K-Staters are well aware that the second-floor Cats Pause Lounge is one of the quietest, comfiest retreats on campus.

Without question, the Union is where it’s at. In addition to the poetry slams, fashion shows, and breakdance competitions it routinely hosts, it’s home to a number of ongoing exhibits that are well worth a look—the Dreyfus Affair showcase and the Kemper Art Gallery in particular. Campus-based entertainment crops up outside the Union as well, but you have to know where and when to look. Stopping by the International Student Center to pick up a list of Coffee Hour dates and McCain Auditorium for a schedule of events at the beginning of the semester is highly recommended. It takes some trying, but with sufficient effort, you can always find something to do on campus, which is more than can be said of the surrounding town.

Facilities on Campus

The athletic center is a big part of campus, and the rec complex is a very popular place for students to work out as well as play their favorite sports when they have time. The library is also a heavily trafficked area in the middle of campus, and allow for a place to study and do assignments with classmates.

Campus Is Great

The campus offers many great places for students. The athletic facility is one of the best. The library is a wonderful place to go to get any studying done that you need to do. There are places all over campus to for students to stop in and study or rest. The Union is a great place to go not only for studying but for recreation and dining too.

Engineering

As is typical of an Engineering major I very rarely see things that aren't related to engineers. The engineering facilities are great the union is also good.

Favorite Things To Do

For those still on the temperance wagon, there is the Union AfterHours Program (offering everything from T-shirt tie-dyeing to karaoke) and the weekly film series (offering everything from “Goodfellas” to “Mean Girls”). For everyone else, there are the football games. Unflaggingly popular and almost universally revered, football is to K-State what the potato was to 19th-century Ireland. Among daytime options are the Landon Lectures, a series of three to five speeches delivered in McCain Auditorium each year by prominent political figures, including cabinet members and former presidents.

Within the past four years, Kansas State has provided its students with the opportunity to succumb to the spell of a professional hypnotist, clobber their teaching assistants in a campus-wide pillow-fight, and have their copies of The Hours signed by Michael Cunningham in person. More conventional offerings include the Union Programming Council’s weekly film series, the theater department’s regular productions, the innumerable athletic events, the equally innumerable Bible study groups, and the occasional date auction.
