Wichita State University Top Questions

Parking and majority of international students.

The parking. There never seems to be enough parking spots for the students. Especially on game days when they block off over half of the parking and give students tickets if you park in the blocked off areas. I got to campus 40 minutes before class started and was 20 minutes late because I was looking for parking.

The worst thing about Wichita State University is the diversity in age within the student body. In my lab classes, when student to student interaction is essential, I've found myself being the youngest in each of my groups. I encourage people continuing their education , but it makes for an unorthodox learning environment in my case; my age seems to weaken the value of my academic input. In addition, school ppirit is somewhat weak. Everyday I see students displaying the logos of larger Kansas schools on their clothing.

I think that the worst thing about my school is the lack of ambition from students. People coming into college these days want to party instead of being responsible.

We have no football team! We have excellent sports teams for Baseball and Volleyball, Track and Basketball but we have NO Football team! This in turn means we miss out on things like Homecoming, Tailgating and Marching Band programs. Our school is excellent but as student we all agree that not having a Football team is really the worst.

The worst aspect about Wichita State University is that because it is located in a large urban city, the community doesn't seem to get behind and really support the school. There doesn't seem to be a connection between the university and the community like I have noticed on other campuses.

The worst thing about my school is the plus & minus grading scale. Adding a plus or minus to a letter grade really affects your GPA and makes you wonder what's the difference between a C+ & C-, of course it's the percentage but a C is a C, and so forth on every other letter grade. Don't get me wrong though, any + added to a letter grade is great but it's more simple to keep it as the following: A 90-100, B 80-89, C 70-79, D 60-69, and F 59 & below.

The worst thing I could possibly think of when it comes to Wichita State would be....the food. I dislike the food with a passion. The school itself is amzaing and well worth it but the food isn't the best. But what can you expect from a cafeteria? It's just like highschool food. Basic and not very good. So if I could change one thing about my school, the food would be it.

Finding a parking spot during the "rush" hour of classes can be difficult. The main campus is surrounded by developed land and cannot expand much.

Being new to the secondary education process, it's difficult to sift through the information that you need and that you do not. Returning as an adult student, but still being considered a dependant in Kansas offers a whole bundle of issues to work through to even sign up for classes. I also don't like how much the credit hours cost at a relatively large school.
