Moderately Safe
There are many campus police as well as Riley County police in the Manhattan, KS area. There are emergency call stations if you do happen to be walking alone at night and you feel threatened. Kansas State also offers a system where you can call an escort to walk you back to the dorms if it is dark and you don't want to cross campus alone. But there have been incidents with abduction/assault before, the reason for me giving the security a B.

Too Many Police?
Riley county this year has gotten a new budget for the police force. There have been double the police force in Manhattan due to this extra funding. They are extremely bad when there is a holiday of some kind, such as Halloween. They give out their fair share of MICs to underage drinkers, but there is some leniency when it comes to large frat "functions." In Kansas they take drug possession a lot more serious than underage drinking crimes. Whatever you do, don't get caught with marijuana.

Safe Ride
The Kansas State campus is relatively small and most everything is in walking distance. This is helpful when there is drinking going on because you can get anywhere you need to on foot. The frat houses also have Designated Drivers on the weekends who shuttle people back and forth to where they need to go. The campus also has a bus system called "Safe Ride" and it is a free bus ride making many stops around campus so you have another sober, safe way home.
