Run Amock in Manhattan

Teeney-tiney Manhattan Kansas is the kind of town that is asleep by 10 pm. However, the college has a great presence here. Aggieville, headquarters of the young and restless, is the most lively part of town, lined with bars, bookstores, and coffee shops enough to fulfill the recreational activities and vices necessary for college-living.

When you are feeling competitive, stop by the Wildcat Creek Sports Center.

Using Your Legs

Manhattan is a manually-operated city--you only need to use your legs. It is not big enough for a bus system, and campus is walkable. For those weekly grocery runs, you might want to invest in a friendship that includes a car, or pay your way to your own vehicle ownership.
