Wichita State University - Ratings, Reviews & Ranking

" As someone who has studied and worked within the university, lived in every dorm on campus, and has switched to completing the rest of my degree online, I can say that WSU is a university worth going to. All three dorms are structured very differently to fit different students needs, yet they're all equally clean, well maintained and aesthetically pleasing. The Flats was my favorite dorm and the Suites was my least. My only real complaint is that the cafeteria is on the opposite side of campus from two of the dorms. The Academic Staff at WSU is extremely hit or miss. I've had fantastic teachers who went above and beyond in the duties, and others who seemed to loathe their job and their students. I had one professor freshman year that took bribes. Rate My Professor will be your best friend. In my personal experience, the administrative staff was incredibly helpful. I went through an traumatizing experience on campus that left me with severe PTSD. It was not the fault of the university in the slightest, but they still pulled out all of the stops to help me. If they hadn't done that, I most likely would have been forced to drop out of college. While working within the university on an internship, I learned that although they may be very flawed in particular areas, the administration is constantly working to improve itself. Besides all of that, WSU has a really welcoming and diverse culture. There are a huge amount of clubs and free events on campus. The university itself was quite supportive of LGBTQ+ students-- they even host a university sponsored Drag Show every year. It felt like almost every day there was a opportunity to learn or do something new. "

" I enjoyed my time at WSU. Even after graduation, I have great relationships with my professors and feel that the opportunities I was given there were valuable. My husband worked at WSU after graduating from K-State and after being exposed to the engineering labs and opportunities to do real-world work in class, he said he wished he would have gone to this school instead. While my major was not engineering (like his was), we were still given many opportunities to do real world work rather than just doing class projects that had no meaning. "

" Slightly expensive, but a great experience overall. The main campus is huge, and getting around can be confusing at first but there's maps and tour guides if needed. The staff is always pretty friendly and responsive to student needs. "

" Not much, it's a great place with beautiful facilities. In Kansas more people lean to KU or KState, but Wichita state is better than both from what I have seen and experienced so far. The dorms are some of the nicest in the country, a bit on the expensive side though, and off campus living is abundant and cheap for how nice it is. "

" I enjoy Wichita State University. The campus is really nice. I only wish there were more activities and events happening on campus. Most of the professors I have had so far have been okay. Very few professors here are exceptional at what they do. "
