Departure

Travel to Manhattan, Kansas

The closest major airport is the MCI (Kansas City International Airport), it is two hours drive to Manhattan. There is a small regional airport MHK (Manhattan Regional Airport) that is very close to our campus, see http://www.ci.manhattan.ks.us/index.asp?NID=14. There are three flights from MCI to MHK each week days. There is also a shuttle bus (KCI roadrunner) from MCI to Manhattan, see: http://www.kciroadrunner.com/. Some related information can be found at: http://www.phys.ksu.edu/visit.html

Directions:

The physics department is in Cardwell Hall which is at the K-State label in the map below.  At http://www.ksu.edu/maps, Cardwell Hall is just about in the middle of the map, and the Holoday Inn (used to be Ramada Inn) is at the lower left corner (17th and Anderson).
