It feels like the main focus of the school is to expand on what they already have instead of bringing new things to the school. I find their lack of an audio/video environment upsetting. There is a small one in the communication area of the school but that is about it. I wish that the barebones of true film making were there at least, but everything is geared towards journalism. I even tried to create a club to start the process but it was too much for me to handle.

The worst thing about Wichita State University is trying to find parking! It is really difficult to find a decent parking spot after 9:00 in the morning, and sometimes you have to park really far away, which can make you late to class.

The worst thing about my school is the distance i have to drive from the town i live in to Wichita which is over an hour. Also the support for gradutating from the college has been minimal at best. The long drive from Winfield to Wichita is a very long hour and also conflicts with work, gas prices and the amount of time i can go to school and work full time.

Wichita Stat University has proven itself to be a fairly decent school so far. But the worst thing about my University would have to be the student population. I feel as if the Campus isn't large enough to accomodate all of the students that it has accepted and are taking classes on campus. There is never enough parking, not enough one-on-one time with professors, and also the student center is far too small for the volume of students that it experiences each day.

I think the worst part of my school is how little mentoring goes on between students and staff. In my particular college, the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, I signed up to see an advisor whom I had never met before. After meeting the advisor I learned the social work program would assign me a new advisor after I am accepted as a junior . As I go through this journey I find little continuity in who assists me and I have been unable to establish a strong working relationship with my advisor as I think students should have.

I would say that the only negative aspect of our school is (atleast in the School of engineering) that it is difficult to schedule our classes close together and so we often have large gaps in our days. This of course could be a blessing in disguise!

Wichita State is a campus where most students commute to. The on campus activities are not as abundant as those with a large population of on-campus housing.

They have GTA's as teacher, which means that those teaching the material know their information, but might not know how to teach it. The Parking is tight and can take someone a half hour to find a decent parking place. The parking lot is essentially a battle field when you enter it. The cost of books at the book store, compared to international books, are significantly overpriced. One mainly pays for the convenience of buying a book here. The buyback price is significantly lower from the bookstore.

Probably the drainage on the sidewalks and how spread out the campus is.

I would have to say the worst thing is Wichita State University's lack of acceptance of transfer credits. Every single class from my paramedic program are just electives, when the first semester alone was 22 credit ours. Also several classes from community colleges transfer only as "intro" classes and you have to take the university's version of that class.

I consider the worst thing about any school to be lack of ambition. What I see in many of my peers is the second that something does go their way, or the way they thought it would, they give up and find a scapegoat in nearly anything but themselves. Somebody will fail a test after thinking they were doing so well, but instead of striving to figure out what they must do next time to avoid a reoccurring situation, they grow angry at the class or teacher for their lack of endeavors to understand the concepts.

My least favorite aspect about Wichita State is the lack of parking. Unless you arrive previous to 8 a.m., it is almost impossible to find a good parking spot because there are many students who commute to school every day. If there was another parking lot or even a parking garage, it would make arriving to class much easier.
Dawn
Some of the classes are very large. Some people do better with smaller class sizes.
Jacob
I would have to say that the one thing that I consider to make my school bad is simply the price of everything such as the books and the tuition fees.

The worst thing about Wichita state university is the fact that Kansas is so hot in the summer. When you’re walking from class to class in this 100® plus weather it will definitely test your strength. Thus far I have worked with multicultural affairs office, disabilities office, financial aid office, and the Greek offices and everybody has been helpful. Even as a transfer student they just got me on the right track and nobody is bothered by my disabilities. That makes all the difference in the world to me.
Kyle
I really don't have many complaints about the school, but I guess the one thing that I have been disappointed with in the past is the very limited selection and scheduling of summer courses.
sein
The health services people were not very friendly, I somewhat though they were rude, and when requested to show the policy and procedure for an international student who was standing by me, they refuse to give her with no explanation.
Rachel
The wors thing about my school are the larger classes. I prefer smaller classes, so the larger ones are not my favorite and I do not feel as comfortable in them.
megan
I don't think there's anything wrong with my school. Wichita State is a great school with a lot of diversity.

Nothing to do on campus on a daily basis
