Hello, fellow and future K-Staters. My name is JP Stambaugh, and I am currently a sophomore in food science with a business option. I am from Louisburg, KS which is a town of approximately 2,500 about an hour south of Kansas City and five minutes from Missouri. In Louisburg, my family (which includes my parents and three younger siblings) owns quite a few types of unusual animals; ranging from rabbits and goats to chickens and llamas. My hobbies outside of school include sports and woodworking.
I had about 100 students in my graduating class at Louisburg High School where I played basketball, ran cross-country and, was also very involved in 4-H and FFA. To be honest I pretty much thought I would always come to K-State; however, when I started considering colleges, I was looking for something to do with genetics because I enjoyed high school biology. Initially, I looked at majoring in chemistry in the College of Arts and Sciences, but it just seemed big and impersonal. In FFA, I had always competed well in the food science contests so I decided to look at the food science program in the College of Agriculture. The faculty and the current students I met made everything so easy and family-like that I was immediately sold on the major and have enjoyed everything about the college so far. Another thing that drew me to K-State was FarmHouse Fraternity, which has been a great part of my college experience. I’ve chosen to blog about my college experiences because I feel that current students made it easier for me to have a positive experience at K-State, and I want to be able to share that. Between the education, activities, Greek life, and the K-State athletics I don’t see how any one could go wrong by coming to K-State.
