Review of Wright State University-Main Campus

from Englewood, OH

Describe your college in three sentences.

Tunnels are awesome!!!

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

It's one of the cheapest options for college as a public, division one university. A lot of students are close to home, so many are commuters, which is a great way to make friends. The campus feels large, but you don't feel overwhelmed. Wright State is also small enough that your professors are always there to help with questions, even in huge 200+ lecture halls. Also, you will love the tunnel system whenever you feel the weather is bad. The tunnels connect most of the buildings to one another, so basically, you never have to go outside in the cold-- love this!

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

Wright State has some challenging courses, and depending on your major, you'll be able to decide for yourself. The honors program is really helpful- but also, don't be scared to try it either. It's not as scary as it seems, promise. If you do the homework and reviews, you can pass any class easily. Also, follow the syllabus your professor gives you-- it'll be your guide to pass the class!

Describe the dorm life at your college.

I live off campus, but a lot of people have told me they love the dorms. It's a great way to make new friends and get to know your neighbors. The off-campus housing is really great too! It's so close to campus, that you could walk if you so desired.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

There are so many options in the Union, it's ridiculous. You can grab anything you want basically. You'll never go hungry! Also, there's a Starbucks on campus for all you coffee cravers!

What’s there to do for fun at your college?

You're so close to everything, you will never be bored. If there's anything you want to do, Wright State either has it on campus, or it's a short distance away.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

Very good price for college, especially if you go undecided or just want to get your general education courses out of the way. They offer lots of scholarships as well, so you won't be stressed with a huge tuition bill.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

Did I mention the tunnels????

Which types of students will excel at your college?

If you don't want to leave home, Wright State is a great commuter school. So many people commute that you won't feel alone or out of place. There are also special places on campus that are specifically for commuters, and special parking as well. Also, if you're thinking of a Business or Nursing major, Wright State is the place for you! They have some of the best programs around, and are highly competitive. You will not be disappointed.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

A lot of people are involved in something, whether it's a fun club or intramural sports team. There will be something for you to enjoy, and you can try anything!

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

The Greek Life is really nice here. There are numerous sororities or fraternities you can join and find a place to call home! Don't be scared of horror stories of Greek Life, or of bad movie displays-- it's not the same!

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?

Wright State has a great security atmosphere. There are always police around, and little emergency stations if you ever feel threatened or scared. Students get sent emails as well if an incident has occurred to make them aware as well. As long as you're aware of your surroundings, you will be safe.
