Why I chose Wichita State
As a first-generation student who is pursuing her major and education, it is really
affordable. I really like the diversity WSU has. It has been amazing to see people
from all different types of countries here at WSU getting an education. There are
all types organizations with different ideas, cultures, religions, and values. There
are a wide variety of job opportunities on campus for all majors and programs. I really
love to walk around campus, and it makes me feel more relaxed as the campus everywhere
is organized and clean.

I feel safe and at home at WSU. I really love the dining hall. There are so many different
foods you can enjoy. Seeing how WSU works hard, not just for academics, but also for
wellness and health.

new local places for coffee, food, go to farmer's market.
