All-in-all: This place has it all, from services to stuff you can physically check-out and its all FREE! Listen, Arthur the Aardvark must've had this place in mind when he released his number one hit 'Library Card' song, never heard of it? - you HAVE TO Google it! Usually when you think Public Libraries boring places with books everywhere probably come to mind. Well, this library has plenty of books, and a lot of space to store them, but wait.... THERE'S MORE! You can also check-out: Magazines, CDs, Video Games, Movies, Audio Books, and probably other things I just haven't thought to ask about just yet. It's like the Walmart of all things media.... well, its more classy than Walmart so maybe it is the Target (everything is still free though). It is hard to share this information because I know the more popular the library gets the more I may have to wait for some items but the people have to know! If you are a frequent user of RedBox, and you live in Manhattan, go ahead and give your credit card a rest because the MHK Library has a wide variety of items you can check-out for the whole family (or just yourself) and if the Library doesn't have it but you want it (hold on to your hat for this) - they will buy it, and you can get first dibs on it when it comes in! I've benefited from this feature a couple of times. This participate in the Interlibrary loan program, and have other partners that greatly improve their catalog of items to choose from. This library also offers/ provides a space for other services, like a free tax preparation during tax season. I'll wrap up this review by saying this is one of the best spots within the city, and a good space where you can see your tax paying dollars going to great use!

The campus is easy to navigate once you get used to it and it's pretty easy to get from one side to the other in about 10 minutes. Parking spots can be difficult to get, but you just have to get there early and wait for the previous students to leave.

Having a degree from here I can say it was an average experience. The students and some of the…read morefaculty were great. The university's administration though needs changes. Few of my friends obtained an education worth much other than the degree to put on the wall and check off the requirement of having a degree to apply for a job. While there were a few good professors who challenged us to think and who gave us a real education and not a simple memorize the answers in the book and remember them well enough to fill in a circle on a exam, that was not the case for most of my professors. They had many classes that were so large there was no value of actually going to them other than having to do so often so you had attendance in class to pass. I can recall one large class taught by a professor who could effectively teach a large class, but other than that professor the rest of them had no ability to teach a large class and should never have been put in charge of doing it. There is a great school pride of the football and mens basketball team more so now. Which is great and great, but it does not replace or make up for a lacking educational experience. Don't expect much a degree from here to get you any special consideration over other 4 years colleges. While many large corporations like to recruit from universities like K-State because the students graduate without expecting a lot or feeling entitled to much and have a strong work ethic that is only partially a positive by product of an education here. Students are taught to be yes students and to be good employees, not to be CEOs or entrepreneurs or young men and woman who will significantly impact our nation or the world. You would also expect a University in the heartland of America to be more conservative and it is more so than KU a few hours away, but the student body of which is more conservative is not represented accordingly by the University faculty and administration of which is more liberal in general. If you send your kids here expect that bias to attempt to influence your kids from a liberal bias in many areas. The grants and scholarships are not readily available to every student. If you have an area you excel in you may get a scholarship for it or in athletics or if you have a low family income or are a minority you may qualify for one. If your family is middle class and you are not a minority and do not excel in any area then don't expect any scholarships or grants. Although, you can rest assured the Alumni Association will track you down and mail you and call you in attempts to get donations for the university. The parking may have improved since I was a student there, but not likely by much. You will want to live close enough to campus to walk to class, don't make the mistake of living far away and having to drive to class. It's not worth the hassle and I found as I lived closer to the university the students I lived near tended to have a better focus and direction in life of which was refreshing. If you are a self driven individual and have talents and abilities to excel in areas it is also hard to do so here as most of the systems in place are setup to move you along at the pace the university has established. There is a semi separation of the student body in greek and non greek and it is semi click like. Not really one way, but both ways. The greek system does tend to have more influence simply because they are organized and non greek students are not organized and as such are not likely to ever have more influence than the greek students. Either student body group can be positive or negative. The greek system in the wrong house or the wrong group can be destructive to every area of your life, but in the right house and the right group of peers be positive and life changing in every area. This is the same for the non greek students too though, and is best explain in that you become most like those you closely associate with and spend time with. If you want to be someone who someone of good character and quality will want to marry one day and start a family with and you want to have a successful career then associate with the people with similar goals and desires. I saw in enough peers around me the effects of being around the wrong people in college and contrary to the popular idea that you can do what ever you want in college and change once you leave to start a family and be successful in life - that is not what I observed from those I knew and watched. Maybe in 10 years after college you can recover and change, but the path you put yourself on in college is very hard to magically change once you are out of college and in the real world. That is my advice from my time at K-State. I have my degree from there and I have it framed and I am glad I put in my 4 years to get it. It has however sit on my wall in a framed glass case and that is all I have found use for it.

Access is free for students attending the university and is included in K-State tuition when a PHYSICAL student ID is present. There is zero tolerance policy for students without an ID. Reading you student ID number, Canvas Page, or picture of ID doesn't work. Access is also open to the public. A day pass for a guest is possible to purchase for $8 as long as they are attended by a student or faculty member with an active KState ID. Ages 13 and under are free, 14-17 is $5/day pass. You must be 18 or older to use the weightlifting equipment. The Rec offers free equipment checkouts for a variety of sports and activities. They also have an outdoor equipment checkout where you can pay to rent larger items like canoes and trailers. Overall the equipment is clean and the spaces are well kept. Some equipment is out of order and remains that way for extended periods of time.

The service is unbelievably slow, the stereotypical DMV experience from the movies. Instead of just making people leave the front desk if they don't have proper proof or identification, instead everyone has to have long, drawn out conversations with the worker. If you have flexibility in your schedule skip this DMV and go to the one in downtown Manhattan.
