    Am learning a lot

    I am working on a degree in Computer Engineering.
    I have already learned SO much in my first year there.
    One of the latest projects was to program a video game.
    Am enjoying being here

    There is so much to do here, especially if you find the right housing and live on campus.
    Bang for the buck

    a cheap school which has a nice campus with allot of things to do.
    has a wide choice of majors, and a very good engineering program.
    Tips for prospective students

    If you plan to live on campus, Hamilton Hall is the best.
    It is right in the middle of all the campus, and is easily the nicest looking dorm building, is literally 10 feet from the student union (where you eat and such), and has a very quiet atmosphere. The only drawbacks are the shared bathroom and shower for each floor, but they have someone who cleans it every day. In the other buildings you are responsible to clean your own bathrooms. Each room there also comes with a fridge, microwave, bed, dresser, wardrobe, and desk. I have had SO many people tell me that had wished they chose hamilton hall instead of the woods


    Study before you take the COMPASS math test. Trigonometry and Algebra are in it. The score will determine where you fit in your math courses, and if you do well you can skip allot of courses.

    Also, get involved with a before school event.
    They have something called FOOT which is a hiking/camping thing.
    There is also AAP which is a review of mathematics for engineers right before the school year, which will help you test higher.
    ALL of my closer friends at this university are ones i met at AAP. i didnt go to FOOT, but i heard it was a great experience.
    Great for these types of students

    Engineers mostly. I hear their Psychology department is good as well.

    Am learning a lot

    You will learn a lot in one quarter. 10 weeks seems like a long time, but it will fly bye and you will have to keep up. By the time winter break comes along you will definitely be ready for the 6 weeks off! The teachers are willing to help whenever possible and are very eager to helping you succeed.
    Am enjoying being here

    A lot of my friends from my high school class go to Wright State so I know a lot of people here and there are a ton of places to hang out, both on and off campus. The Student Union has a ton of things, from playing pool to swimming in a pool. There is also a ton of restaurants in the area to eat at, of every variety. The Fairfield Commons Mall is also a great place to shop and spend your time.
    Bang for the buck

    I thought Wright State was not much better than a Community College because so many people went there from my school and it was a really easy school to get into. However, Wright State leads Ohio in many different areas throughout the nation and its a great education for the little amount you actually pay.
    Tips for prospective students

    Make sure you go to your professor for help and ask plenty of questions. If the professor knows who you are then you will do better. Also make shure you go to every class, there is know better way to know the material than actually going to class.
    Great for these types of students

    Its great for everyone. Wright State has something for everyone.

    Am learning a lot

    I have learned so much in my time here at WSU. There are many different ways to learn, in class, in academic clubs and from talking to professors outside of class.
    Am enjoying being here

    I love it here. Most of my friends complain about their schools doing this and that, but WSU really doesn't have much to complain about.
    Bang for the buck

    It's just about (if not actually) the cheapest four year school in Ohio. For the price it's definitely the best education you are going to get.
    Tips for prospective students

    Live on campus your freshman year. I didn't and I regret it. I live on campus now and everything is just so much better. I am more involved, I don't have to make the 45 minute drive everyday, and I don't have to find a parking spot.

    Get involved. Most clubs are looking for new members constantly. Also being a member of clubs will look good on grad school applications if you plan on going there.

    The basketball games are probably the most fun thing to do on campus. People may say there isn't much to do, but they aren't looking very hard. If there is nothing to do there is a mall less than five minutes away, along with every restaurant chain you have ever heard of, and a movie theater, and a bowling alley nearby.
    Great for these types of students

    Everyone who enjoys a friendly atmosphere. Also students that want to be able to know their professors well. The nursing program is one of the best and the psychology program is pretty awesome, too.

    Am learning a lot

    Wright State has been very rewarding. I have yet to take a class where I have not learned a lot. The teachers try their best to help you out, and will more than likely explain any questions you have. Wright State is a wonderful place to learn about your intended major!
    Am enjoying being here

    My favorite thing about Wright State is how friendly the people are. I see a lot of my friends from high school, and enjoy meeting new people! The staff are all very kind and easy to get along with.
    Bang for the buck

    Wright State does a great job of utilizing your money to best suit your needs. You get help whenever you need it, and they never waste your money. They try their best to obtain money for you if you need it too.
    Tips for prospective students

    The best thing to do is to apply for as many scholarships as possible. Also, never be afraid to ask for help from the staff if you need it. They are more the willing to help.
    Great for these types of students

    Wright State is great for anyone who is looking to obtain a good education in a friendly environment. This school is nice for anyone who wants to go to college, even if they don't know what their major will be.

    Am learning a lot

    So far, most of the classes I have taken here I have actually found at least somewhat interesting and applicable to real life. Even when you have to take classes that are outside of your main field of study, you're still learning things that will make you a more well-rounded individual. I have especially found the business classes informative and useful (business being my field of study). It makes me excited to get out there and start my career!
    Am enjoying being here

    There are so many ways to get involved on campus, you almost never have to be bored! With so many different clubs and organizations, there really is something for everybody! Whether you're looking for an extra-curricular that will look amazing on your resume, or you're just trying to do something fun and gain leadership experience, there's a group here for you to get involved in. There are always fun and interesting events going on around campus, like plays, talent shows, contests, concerts, games, etc. I love living on campus and being really involved. Also, my RA is really amazing and has helped bring the people on my floor closer together. I definitely feel like I'm getting the most out of my college experience!
    Bang for the buck

    Wright State is definitely less expensive than other universities I considered, but I'm so glad I chose it! I'm getting good quality of education, most of my professors have been wonderful, and the campus is great! I love knowing that I'm going to leave here with a degree, and not a massive amount of debt.
    Tips for prospective students

    Whatever you do, get involved on campus! At the beginning of the year, check out all the student organizations, and if one looks interesting to you, don't be afraid to jump in! That's how you'll make friends on campus, and that's what makes your college experience worth while!
    Great for these types of students

    Especially good for students going into film, business, or nursing.

    Am learning a lot

    Wright State has great professors and classes are in great sizes. I haven't been in a huge class that the professor ignores you and they will help you when you need it.
    Am enjoying being here

    Wright State has an amazing campus. I enjoyed walking around campus in the fall and watching each trees leaves change and enjoying the people walking along too. It never seems to be over crowded any where. I also enjoy sitting in the quad and eating lunch when it's nice out.
    Bang for the buck

    I choose Wright State because of the great cost! I'm a commuter so it only cost me about $11,000 a year with tuition, food and book money! I would recommand this school to anyone who doesn't want a huge debt at the end of school.
    Tips for prospective students

    For prospective students, don't be afraid of how big campus and you'll make friends quickly. Many people will tell you not to take the UVC class that is a freshman intro class but that is the class that I made my first set of friends in. College does have it's responsibilties though, make sure to do all your homework and don't wait to study at the last minute!
    Great for these types of students

    Any type of student is welcome at Wright State! There isn't something different for every person and that is the one unique thing about Wright State!

    Am learning a lot

    I am currently a freshman in her third quarter at WSU, and I love it! Not only have I learned a lot in my classes, I have also learned more about different cultures and social classes just by making new friends on campus. Every day I learn something new whether I'm in class or not.
    Am enjoying being here

    Although I do not live on campus, there is always something to get into while on campus. There are several different groups you can join, lots of places to go, there's a great variety.
    Bang for the buck

    Tuition is really cheap compared to other schools. But it is impossible to escape the expensive books and food.
    Tips for prospective students

    College is NOT high school. You have to study and read a lot more in order to get by with a satisfying grade. You also have to know how to manage your time wisely and not procrastinate (I'm still getting adjusted to that one).

    Will learn a lot

    I am really hoping I will get a lot out of this college. I have heard nothing but great things about it and am very excited to attend.
    Will enjoy being here

    I like the idea that there are a lot of things to on campus. Leaving campus would be kind of inconvenient and most of the reason I decided to attend school here is because of the convenience.
    Bang for the buck

    I have a lot of money to come up with before I actually begin my classes but I am working my hardest to get it. I do not think WSU pricing is bad at all; it's actually lower than I expected it to be after visiting the campus.
    Tips for prospective students

    If you are planning on attending, don't wait until the summer before your semester starts to begin getting things ready to go. Work on finding as many scholarships as possible, visit the campus to decide which of the dorms is the best for you, and be sure to get all of your paperwork turned in. Most of all, don't forget to check your WSU e-mail after you are accepted. I did and was pushed really far behind schedule.
    Great for these types of students

    People who are really focused on furthering their education.

    I love the campus, it's small and very focused on learning. The classes aren't too difficult to begin with but starts to get harder. The main bad thing is the construction everywhere on campus.
    Tips for prospective students

    Don't come here expecting to party. Sure there maybe some parties somewhere out there but we aren't much of a party school.
    Academic Rigor

    It's getting a little more difficult now that I am getting into the end of my freshmen year but still nothing too difficult.
    Dorm Life

    I didn't get a good room mate. We hardly say five words a week. There should be a way to match people with similar backgrounds and personalities together.
    Food and Dining

    The hours for the different dinning facilities are ridiculous. There is only one place open during the weekend. But the food isn't too bad.

    Wright State is a affordable, well rounded university. If you get out and go for the opportunities offered there will never be a dull moment. There is something for everyone at this school.
    Tips for prospective students

    Use any aide given available ex: (free tutoring for freshman only), The books on reserve in the library for the course you are taking. Stay notified of anything that you think has the potential to keep you in under graduate school for another year. Your Advisor is here to help you, take advantage of that.
    Academic Rigor

    Freshman year should not be all about partying. Follow this advice closely Work first, play later.
    Dorm Life

    Staying in the dorms is beneficial because you get a meal plan and you get to meet a ton of new people. It also helps that the dorms are a few feet away from campus.
    Food and Dining

    Most of the home-cooked in the union are pretty descent. If you are a fast food person the Hanger would be the perfect place for you to eat
    What to do for fun

    Depending on which hall you live in or who you hang out with there is always something fun to do. If you would rather stay on campus than go home on the weekends, there is are community activities for you.

    Wright State is a growing college that tries its best to impact the students positively. It wants its students to be successful at which ever path they take within their selection of degrees. It, also, tries its best to make sure that their students will be sucessful.
    Tips for prospective students

    If this is a campus you're considering, make sure you want to get involved. Be involved to create change for the better for the students. Students run the campus of every university and it is our decision on what type of impact the campus has on us.
    Academic Rigor

    Some professors don't really care if you understand the material and some will help you to make sure you learn the material. It's hard to find good professors, but when you do they'll help you as much as they can.
    Dorm Life

    The dorms are fun to live in when you're a freshmen, but make sure you study before you party. It's hard to do that when your friends don't want to stay focused, but make sure you keep yourself focused.
    Food and Dining

    There isn't that much of a variety of food offered on the campus. It's the same food everyday. The food isn't bad, but you get worn out on it after awhile.
    What to do for fun

    The campus has events every weekend and almost everyday for students to get involved in. There are also plenty of places to eat and relax around the campus.

    Tips for prospective students

    Even when you think your hard work does not matter, it matters. Always do your best.
    Academic Rigor

    Wright State never ceases to challenge me, but the challenge was particularly when I was making the transition from high school to college. I am continuously motivated to perform at my maximum potential. This makes me confident that I will be a success.
    Dorm Life

    I live in the Honors Community, and it is just like an extended family.
    Food and Dining

    There are a lot of dining options to accomodate a variety of preferences.
    What to do for fun

    On campus, it is almost impossible not to see people out hoopin' (playing basketball). There are so many events held on campus also as well as intramural sports.
    Bang for the buck

    Since Wright State is a state supported school and they also get alumni dollars, tuition is offered for a student-friendly price.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    A crafted landmark that always makes everybody smile is located right in the center of campus. We call it BART or the Big Artsy Red Thing.

    Wright State is school filled with students ready to excel. The campus life is everything that it is advertised to be. Classes are relatively challenging, and most teachers are willing to help.
    Tips for prospective students

    If you are planning to come to Wright State with a positive attitude, because even though college will be a challenge, the key to succeeding is approaching the negative with positive. Do not be afraid to ask questions, no matter what a teacher or peers tell you. Manage your time well.
    Academic Rigor

    When it comes to the strictness of Wright State, it really depends on what class you're in, and what teacher you have. Most of the teachers I have experienced have be academically rigorous, but some for different reasons than others. Some have the students potential success in mind, and others, not so much.
    Dorm Life

    I currently live in the Honors Community dorms, and I love it. The atmosphere is always welcoming because there are so many different things to do. Each floor has a different theme and also accommodations. For example, 6th floor has the movie lobby, 2nd floor has the kitchen used for parties and barbeques, etc. The dorms aren't TOO far from campus, which is a plus.
    Food and Dining

    The food at Wright State is exceptional. There are a variety of places to eat. There is Taco Bell, Burger King, Pizza Hut, salad bars, etc. The only personal problem I have is that the healthier food options are limited. The salad bar is rather basic, and the fruit is never tasty.
    What to do for fun

    Wright State is a school where for fun, you either join a club, or make your own fun. Depending on what you like to do for fun, the fun life could either be great or terrible.
    Bang for the buck

    Wright State is NOT an expensive college, and honestly, to be such an appraised school, the tuition is not deadly at all.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    As far as I know, there are not any unusual locations on campus, but one strange tradition is that every morning, a trumpet is played loud enough for everyone on campus can hear.
    Great for these types of students

    Driven, directed toward success, patient, and sociable.
    Clubs and Activities

    From my personal experience with the clubs here at Wright State, any of them are very unorganized. The plus is that some of them are still fun. However, I hear great things about some of the clubs I have not yet involved myself in.
    Greek Life

    I have not pledged, nor do I know any people who have pledged, so I am unaware of how Greek life is. I DO know that the male fraternities put on great step shows.
    Campus Safety

    The safety on this campus is great. There are Wright State police that patrol at every hour of the night, there is a number to call in case of emergencies. Also, EVERYWHERE around campus there are bright blue lights that shine at night where there is an emergency phone. If you are being chased, you can easily spot one of these phones, pick up the phone, and you are directly connected to a dispatcher.

    The academics are solid. It is largely a commuter school. Basketball is the biggest sport.
    Tips for prospective students

    Visit and make sure you like the campus and the dorms. Talk to an advisor, professor, or other representative of your program to make sure you have a basic understanding of the requirements as well as available internship for the future. That may not seem important as a high school student, but later on you'll be looking for those opportunities. If you're unsure how you feel about WSU, visit other schools in different settings. Wright State is a suburb school, so I'd recommend visiting a small school in a rural area and a school in a bigger city.
    Academic Rigor

    You can determine how easy or difficult your education is here. There are a lot of options to fulfill different requirements and you can choose classes that are a challenge or ones that are an easy A. It's all up to you.
    Dorm Life

    WSU is largely a commuter school, so you are not required to live in dorms at all.
    Food and Dining

    There are two cafeterias on campus. One is a standard cafeteria and one is fast food restaurant options- Pizza Hut, Burger King, and Taco Bell.
    What to do for fun

    There are two good malls around, a movie theater, and a couple of clubs in downtown Dayton. Also, watch for activities put on by the university. Sometimes they show movies or throw parties. You can also catch a Wright State game during any given season. There is no football team, but basketball is the most popular sport here.
    Bang for the buck

    WSU offers some good merit scholarships and is a good degree for the money.
    Great for these types of students

    If you're local and want to live at home while attending school, WSU would be a definite consideration. Also, if you did well in high school and are looking for a school that offers a lot of scholarship money for that, Wright State could be the place for you.
    Clubs and Activities

    If you put in some effort, you can find a group that matches your interests. Before the school year starts, all the organizations have tables in the student union so that would be a good time to shop around.
    Greek Life

    There are a few fraternities and sororities on campus, and they often put on events on and around campus.
    Campus Safety

    Campus police respond quickly and students are always notified if anything happens on campus.

    Wright State was the perfect size college for me; Big enough to get the real college life feel, yet small enough to feel like a tight knit community. The classes are really interesting, even the general education classes that are required for every major. I'd definitely recommend Wright State!
    Tips for prospective students

    Figure out what questions you have about Wright State (about financial aid, living on campus, dining halls etc) and then go on the campus tour. The guide can help answer any questions you have, and help show you perks to Wright State you may not know!
    Academic Rigor

    Like every college, there are certain classes or professors that people struggle with. Wright State has an amazing Tutoring Services department, and all freshman get free tutoring! I think that's definitely a perk when you consider transitioning from high school to college.
    Dorm Life

    Each of the dorms have their own positive and negative sides, but they're all really nice places to live. The Honors Dorms are really nice, but they're also the newest buildings. The Woods have a lot of buildings all together, which makes it really easy to meet people and make friends. Hamilton hall is very handicap accessible, and the closes to the main buildings.
    Food and Dining

    Wright State has two distinct dining halls, which most students really appreciate. The Union is considered the healthier option, with stir-fry, a large salad bar, a sandwich counter, and home-cooked food. The Hangar is more like a food court at the mall, with more fast-food options and a salad bar.
    What to do for fun

    Get involved!! There are so many organizations on this campus, there's bound to be one that fits your interests. Outside of school, there are several malls and stores close-by.
    Bang for the buck

    As an in-state student, Wright State really does give you a good deal when it comes to the price. Everyone knows college is expensive, but the costs seem to be similar to other medium sized schools in the area.

    The tunnels are a life-saver in the winter! Most people don't like being outside in the cold, let alone for class. Wright State has a unique tunnel system that connects the basements of all the main buildings, which is a great help when the weather doesn't cooperate.
    Great for these types of students

    Wright State is great for any type of student looking for a medium sized college without getting lost in the shuffle. Every aspect of WSU is handicap friendly, and is known for this accessibility.
    Clubs and Activities

    There is so much to do on campus! There are religious organizations, sports organizations, and activity organizations. Beyond that though, there are more unique organizations like Juggling Club. You will find a club you fit in!
    Greek Life

    Greek Life at Wright State is a really unique experience. Because it isn't a large college, the Greek's are a very tight knit community. The Greek organizations do a lot to help support school spirit, and help out in the community.
    Campus Safety

    WSU has lit-up safety buttons along the side-walks that can be pressed to dispatch police in the case of an emergency. There is also a police escort service, to get someone to walk with you somewhere if you don't feel safe. Wright State is a really safe place, but I like that they have so many safety features in the case of an emergency.

    the atmosphere is very welcoming and friendly. it's pretty easy to make friends with people either in your major or in ge's with you.
    Tips for prospective students

    look into and visit the school, as well as any others you're applying to.get to know your teachers; they'll be more willing to let you slide on something if you are go their good side. that means go to class. let them know your name.
    Academic Rigor

    decently hard, but not so hard you have to stay up all night. unless you're an engineer, then maybe. (some of my engineering friends have done close).
    Dorm Life

    honors is really nice, i currently live there. the only downside is the kitchen; you don't have one in room, but there is one on the second floor, only you have to call a day ahead to reserve it to be able to use it.
    Food and Dining

    the union market has excellent food, that is good and good for you. on campus food is kind of expensive though.
    What to do for fun

    a lot of people leave for the weekends, because they find weekends boring. i stay most weekends, because i'd rather be bored at school than bored at home.
    Bang for the buck

    they (the residential services) try to do events on the weekends to entertain those living on campus.

    Tips for prospective students

    study hard. college is a time to perhaps find yourself but also to get a good education and not waste money. so go to class, study hard, work hard, take advantage of your opportunites, and enjoy it.
    Academic Rigor

    it's college so of course it's not going to be easy. but going to class, asking questions, and staying focused and on track with your course load you will be successful.
    Dorm Life

    i never lived in wsu dorms but in my previous university i did. they were a blast and probably some of the best times of my life. i made lifelong friends and memories. i would strongly recommend staying in dorms for at least one to two years. it's so worth it.
    Food and Dining

    once again, i'm a commuter so i never really eat on campus. i have heard it was very good though.

    Bang for the buck

    wsu is slightly expensive but if your determind to get a good education there are ways to help you pay for school. dozens of scholarhsips if you are persistne enough. the teachers are very helpful and strive to help you be successful.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    i've only been here about a year so i'm not really familiar with the ttraditions. i know they have white out parties where the fans wear all white to basketball games but that's all i know of.

    i feel very safe at wsu. there are always campus police around and well lit areas at all time.

    Am learning a lot

    While this is my first quarter at Wright State I can already tell its a wonderful school. My Spanish course allows for testing into a higher level, or you can start at the beginning. All the professors are helpful and make it so you can learn what you need to learn.
    Am enjoying being here

    It is a beautiful campus with two dining facilities, one of which has fast food restaurants inside. The library is four stories plus a basement and I love to go to the top floor and study by a window for the lovely view. The instructors and guidance counselors are all very approachable and helpful. Their scheduling isn't very flexible, so its hard to get a class unless you are available mornings.
    Bang for the buck

    Wright State is really expensive and the fees seem to sneak up on you. I couldn't qualify for enough student loan money to completely cover my tuition, instead I'll have to pay $533 every quarter either in scholarships or out of pocket in order to just make tuition! That doesn't include books or parking!
    Tips for prospective students

    Apply early and pay attention to what you are really paying for and when. They'll charge you your first round of fees before your student loan money comes in based on what their estimation is, rather than reality and you will have to make up the difference.

    Parking is expensive so budget for it. Whenever possible buy your books online rather than in the bookstore its so much cheaper.
