T's and P's little brohttp://www2.ljworld.com/news/2014/apr/29/latest-federal-numbers-show-low-incomes-high-price/The latest figures from the federal Bureau of Economic Analysis show Lawrence residents are feeling the pinch in two areas. The city's cost of living, although lower than the national average, is higher than in any other metro area in Kansas. To make Lawrence's predicament worse, residents also earn far less than those in other Kansas communities. How big is the difference, you ask? Well, take Manhattan for example. The college community just west of us on Interstate 70 has a cost of living that is about 3.6 percent cheaper than Lawrence's. The per capita, inflation-adjusted income for a Manhattan resident, though, is about $7,700 more than what Lawrence residents earn.
THey are also feeling the pinch of bed bug bites.

Garmin executive gives $1 million to K-State engineering expansion
This information is not all that surprising, I know several KU alums who have their own children attending KSU just for the reason noted above, slightly cheaper and they award a lot more scholarship money. This is something that continues to irritate about KU, the administration acts like they are an elite institution on par with Big 10 schools or even ACC when in fact they are not even close, there also seems to be this belief that it's what can you do for KU, instead of KU actually trying to convince us what they can do for us.
