^^ Agree about Kansas State! They can be very competitive. Our cost ended up being the same as a TX in state and housing was actually cheaper. Son is animal science major. They also have an early admit to vet school program which is very good. He was accepted at CSU but even with the scholarship the price couldn’t come close.
My son loves to ski and they did have a spring break trip to CO. They also get their fix by short trips to ski a tiny hill north of Kansas City! Who would have thought?
