Highest score in category

1 EXCEPTIONAL school spirit with Big 12 athletics, massive traditions, and purple pride everywhere - perfect match for student's desires
2 Strong AACSB-accredited business/marketing programs with good corporate partnerships and 92% career outcomes rate
3 Excellent pre-physical therapy pathway with on-campus DPT program providing direct pipeline
4 NOT a commuter school - 75% from outside area with very active weekend campus life and strong social scene
5 Division I Classy Cats Dance Team with walk-on tryout opportunities and club options available
6 Perfect Greek life balance (20-22%) - visible but not dominant, robust non-Greek social life exists

1 CRITICAL MISMATCH: Manhattan is small rural college town, NOT urban or near city - nearest city (Kansas City) is 2 hours away with limited urban amenities locally
2 Large introductory classes (50-150 students) won't provide teacher support student needs in first two years - requires proactive effort
3 Harsh Kansas winters (cold, snow, gray days) conflict with 'loves sunshine' preference despite 215 sunny days annually
4 Flat prairie landscape with limited nature variety - not mountains or dramatic scenery
5 Car increasingly necessary for quality of life and accessing Kansas City for urban experiences
6 Small town may feel isolating if student craves urban culture, diversity, and city amenities regularly
