    Wayne State is expensive! And parking costs an arm and a leg. Don't even get me started on books. Expect to break your pockets.

    Make sure you have your financial aid in order way before classes start. Wayne state is great at messing that up. Wayne state is more of a commuter school but it is trying to enhance campus life. Its great to work on Wayne states campus while attending college there. You learn a great deal, earn money and employers understand that you are students first and employees second.

    Price is slightly lower than University of Michigan - Dearborn, however the prestige and quality is still there.
