Kansas State University — Attraction in Manhattan

I am an alumni. I have found that my experience in the military has been more useful to my career than my degree from Kansas State. I found the requirements to get a degree covered a broad spectrum of subjects that will mostly be forgotten over time. I did not appreciate courses that had essay type tests or had very skewed grading curves. I ended up taking courses to satisfy my own curiosity and desires to be educated in certain subjects.

Just finished my degree in business with a 3.7gpa. The school of business is great. Stay as far away from Economics 530 taught by Amanda Freeman. She is an authoritarian, manipulative and doesn't seem to understand real life and the real world outside her bubble of academia. The definition of those that can't do..teach. She doesn't do that very well either, and her class is a scam. Totally ruined a five star rating and future donor support from this guy. There are too many colleges for a professor to be terrible in...
