Princeton Review Rankings

K-State food has once again landed in the Top 20 nationwide. The Princeton Review's " The Best 388 Colleges " has ranked K-State's campus food at No. 8 in its 2023 issue. It's pretty rare for campus meals to be made from scratch on location, and our students appreciate that! Thanks to all who completed the survey, and congrats to our phenomenal, hardworking dining staff!
