College Prowler Take
When speaking of the student body at K-State, one must always remember that the emphasis belongs on “body.” K-State boasts a top-of-the-line, state-of-the-art recreation center, and walking through the quad, it’s obvious a lot of students have been putting it to good use. If the tan, taut, all-American specimen is what gets your motor running, you’ll find no shortage of fuel in Manhattan. Straight males and lesbians have particular reason to rejoice. Though a good many guys here give no more thought to their personal appearance than to who’s ripe for the ax on America’s Next Top Model, girls generally groom themselves. If for some reason you feel obliged to look beyond the purely physical and into the personality department, the pickings become somewhat less appetizing. Although a substantial percentage of the student population is composed of thoughtful, engaging, and truly unique individuals, there is a comparably substantial percentage of out-and-out tools—and not the sharpest the shed has to offer, either. You’ll also find, thanks to the virulent strain of religious conservatism on campus, that many of the models on display are, in truth, on display: you can look, but you can’t touch.

I would say that I have a lot of motivation to go to the rec center. There are a lot of very fit guys here and quite a few hotties. There is definitely eye candy here for the prowling girl/gay guy.” |

“Guys and girls, for the most part, get their style from the latest reality television, unless they spend all their time online trying to individualize by appropriating more exotic apparel.” |

“There are both attractive and unattractive people at K-State but not a clear majority one way or the other. But in my experience, the people here are friendly and polite regardless of their looks.” |

“I suppose the guys and girls at K-State are rather like the guys and girls everywhere, although we do have a good selection of cowboys, if that’s your type.” |

“There are lots of hot guys on campus, although many of them are stereotypical frat boys. But almost all of them are really nice and open doors for girls and that sort of thing. It all depends on what you’re looking for, but no matter what, there’s someone for you. There are a lot of pretty girls on campus too. Again, lots of typical sorority girls, but there’s a wide variety of other girls, too.” |
FactsBirth Control Available?
Yes - Condoms (10 for $2), emergency contraception, IUDs, patches, pills, and rings are all offered by Lafene Health Center.
Social Scene
One of the major perks of a school as large as K-State is that there’s a niche for every species of student. True, the fratmosphere is dense, but it’s by no means suffocating. If one is seeking alternatives to the Greek scene, there are house parties, bars, late-night movies, and, for those unimpeded by a sense of self-consciousness, karaoke night at the local bowling alley. If anything, the student body is too social for its surroundings—people often feel compelled to drive to nearby cities like Topeka, Lawrence, or Kansas City to get their Friday-night fix.
Hookups or Relationships?
Both are available, though given the staggeringly high number of conservative Christians on campus, the latter are a little easier to come by. Guys unwilling to tolerate one-night stands should bring along some quality reading material—last year the KSU Collegian published a story about a girl who enforced a six-month probation period before permitting her boyfriend to kiss her.
Best Places to Meet Guys/Girls
All things considered, campus organizations are probably your safest bet. Students for Bharatiya heritage and arts tend to like other students for Bharatiya heritage and arts; KRMUGers tend to like people they don’t have to deconstruct their acronym for. And, as the presence of a happily married couple in practically every university department attests, mutual affection sparked by common interest has a way of turning into something more.
Dress Code
The dress code is as tame as the animal science department’s newborn calves—the jean-and-T-shirt combo is king. The prominence of cowboy hats, while perhaps not stylistically kosher, is more than redeemed by the scarcity of the popped collar.
