Since 1902, Fort Hays State University has been a leader in higher education on the High Plains of western Kansas. Each year, thousands of students come to Hays to attend classes for many different reasons. A few Tiger Media Network students share why they chose FHSU and why it is special to them during this Homecoming week.

Getting to walk the monumental Jellison bridge every day is quite the experience. Although there’s rarely water under the bridge, and there are spiders all over, it’s still fun to walk across every day. 
A few fountains are on campus, and this is one of them! Getting to see the fountains makes it seem like it’s summer again! They also provide something fun and exciting to watch as you walk by! 
There are a lot of flowers around campus, and this picture is from the rose garden! I always love getting to see all the different flowers makes me happy, and it makes the campus colorful! 
One thing that I like about Fort Hays is the many study spaces around campus. These spaces are quiet and help students focus and finish their work. This picture is from inside Rarick Hall. 
Whenever I walk anywhere on campus, I always love that the grass is always mowed and the views are always pretty. You will walk this path to the art gallery to view student’s art pieces. 
Albertson Hall is one of my favorite buildings because of the opportunities it holds inside. The sprinklers were on when taking this picture, creating a fantastic photo with Albertson standing tall over campus. 
It’s fun to see all the historical buildings on campus, and shown in this picture is the Plymouth Schoolhouse. Many signs and sculptures around campus give you a little information about what used to be here. 
Some of the FHSU football guys are shown here. The people here at Fort Hays are very welcoming and ready to build new friendships!
