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.

I joined a Life Group (Alice & Ally’s) to meet new people and make new friends. Most of the time we get off topic but I like the light and airy sense of it. Life Group has given me a new group of friends that I never thought I would have. 
I was very excited to attend Fort Hays since my cousins live in the area. I can spend more time with them than I ever have. They are also alumni of Fort Hays and recently got married on the FHSU campus. 
If I hadn’t chosen Fort Hays I never would have met Alaina. She has been so welcoming to me and has shown me around a bit. We love going to football games and attending events on the Quad. 
The Fort Hays campus is beautiful and is so peaceful to be around. The landscaping is always changing so it never gets old. These features are why I enjoy my long walk across the Quad to my next class. 
I love to do my homework and study on the Sky Bridge. Overall it’s just peaceful and I am more productive when I’m in the Union. Looking out onto the campus is a nice feature, too. 
I grew up with a love for Cold Stone and I was so thankful Hays has one. I will only get ice cream from Cold Stone and you can’t convince me it’s not the best. If I want a late-night snack, Cold Stone will be the destination. 
I love being in downtown Hays with all of the shops and studios. Breathe Coffee shop has been a place where friends of mine gather to hang out. The coffee shop is beautiful on the inside and out. I meet friends weekly at Breathe to talk and catch up.
