Logistics

The Driveway – Ah yes, the driveway—a bit of an adventure in itself! It’s steep, but nothing you can’t handle with a little slow and steady driving. The two egress window wells are clearly marked with reflectors and lights, so you`ll be able to steer clear of those with ease. Finally, take care on the way out—on the last stretch of the driveway before the street, taking it at a gentle angle is the secret to getting your car smoothly onto level ground, avoiding any unwanted scrapes!

-Longs Park is just across the street, featuring a playground and picnic tables.

-City Park is a 2-minute drive away.

-K-State Student Union is just 3 minutes from your door.
