Manhattan

It’s self-nicknamed, the ‘Little Big Apple.’ Pretty funny.

I lived in Manhattan, KS for four years during college at Kansas State University. It was one of the best times in my life, a time that made me realise what I could accompolish if I set my mind to it. It was a time of working hard, studying hard and having fun at being in the US for the first time.

and while i havent been back in quite a few years. it’s a great town with a lot of nice people.

go k-state!

I’ve spent over what is closing in on seven years here: five years of college and a few years after college.

This is an absolutely terrible place to be for even short periods of time and has no redeeming features or value. It is possible to survive here, but it doesn’t really qualify as living.

As other have mentioned the only things to do here are drink and go to college football games. Since I don’t drink and don’t like football this skews my perceptions a bit.

Previous comments that there is no art or culture are dead-on. If you simply must be in a college town in Kansas go to Lawrence.

I was traveling by car from Las Vegas to New York City in 2002 and I stopped for a night at a colleague’s home just outside Manhatten. He’s a consultant and author, and he and his wife live on a small farm. We enjoyed staying up with a bottle of wine, talking till past midnight. In the morning they cooked up some scrambled eggs, fresh from the chickens in their henhouse. It was a pleasant enough stop, but I can’t think of any other reason I’d want to spend a night there. To me, the only Manhattan worth visiting is on the Hudson.
