Wichita State University Top Questions

Wichita state University is the best place anyone could be. You practically get the value for your money in terms of academics and extra- curricular activities.

I don't really spend any time on campus outside of class time--in fact, it took me a year to figure out where the student center was. I felt very much on my own to try to figure it out. Wichita State is quite a commuter college, as many of its students are folks who are returning to finish their degrees. If you're living in the dorms or in a fraternity or sorority there's a little more to do, but if you're living at home you're really not going to have a college experience at all. It's just school, and that's exactly how most of the students feel. As Wichita goes, it's a great city. I love living here! It's no New York City. Heck--it's not even an Austin. But traffic is easy, and there are some good hang out spots if you're willing to find them. Old Town, for example, is a great part of the city. You've got shopping, a coffee house, restaurants, an art gallery, and a movie theatre right in one little block. Century II puts on Broadway-caliber musicals in the summer, and there's always the bar and nightclub scene for legal students. It's a diverse city and a very diverse campus (watch out for non-English speaking professors in the engineering, science, and math departments). It's a good place to be, but again, it's not much of a "college life" per se.
