Macdonald Laboratory An Atomic, Molecular & Optical Physics Research Facility Funded by the US Department of Energy Manhattan , KS, the home of Kansas State University, is a university town of just under 50,000 inhabitants, located in the Flint Hills region of Kansas. The university itself has an enrollment of 23,000 students. As one would expect of such a town, the community is host to a wide range of cultural events such as concerts, plays, operas, dramatic presentations and sporting events. The Landon Lecture Series brings to campus speakers of national and international prominence several times a year. The Konza Paririe, a large tall-grass natural area managed by KSU , lies just to the south of the city. Five miles to the north lies Tuttle Creek Lake, a large reservoir used for sailing, boating and fishing. The community has a very low violent crime rate and an excellent public education system. The cost of living is several percentage points below the national average. Manhattan is located conveniently 8 miles north of I-70, from which one can reach Kansas City to the east in two hours, and the ski slopes of Colorado to the west in 8 hours.
