I chose Wright State University during my college search for numerous reasons, the familiarity, the atmosphere, the location and the opportunities it provides.
WSU is very familiar to me, almost like a second home. My mom worked here for twenty years and on those days when there was no school and no babysitter to be found, I got to spend time on campus. When I finally arrived to start my college career, it felt like I was coming home after a break. The buildings have undergone renovations and not all the same faces are here, but Wright State feels the same.
The atmosphere here is one of a small campus. We are right off of Colonel Glenn Highway, yet it feels as if we are secluded in the woods. The people are always friendly and helpful. Whenever I feel lost or have a question, any staff members are willing to help. It is not just the staff, students are ready to help if they are asked and if they don’t know, they will help you find someone who has the answer. The diversity is refreshing and varied. You see representations of many cultures all around campus.
The location is wonderful for me. As a resident of Fairborn, WSU is never more than fifteen minutes away, with heavy traffic. I feel like my education is not costing me the same in gas as tuition.
Lastly Wright State has many opportunities it provides for students. There are always announcements for options to study abroad, for a scholarship and various other activities to enrich the lives of the student body.
For all these reasons and more Wright State is the university for me.
