Though I have lived in Wichita, Kansas, for all of my life, I did not have many photos of myself on campus before I started school. However, once I began school at Wichita State University, I quite enjoyed taking photos around campus.

Kansas has arguably some of the nicest sunsets in the Midwest. The sunsets in the spring and fall are amazing, and some of my favorite pictures on campus are of sunsets. The sunrises are also quite beautiful! The campus is not far from downtown Wichita, and the view of downtown and the sunset can be amazing!

Photo courtesy of Anna BrakeWhile this photo was not taken on the WSU campus, I wanted to highlight the many weekend excursions that are available to students off campus. I enjoy going with my aunt to estate sales. This is a painting that she picked out at an estate sale. Plus, I find it very fun to see the architecture and design of old houses. There are so many fun neighborhoods around town, and Wichita takes weekend estate sales very seriously. There are also many events that happen on the weekends, and WSU hosts events on campus for students as well!
There are many photo-worthy places on the WSU campus, and I have just highlighted a few. Campus changes so much over the four seasons – so many flowers in springtime, greenery in the summer, colorful leaves in the fall, and some rare snow flurries in the winter. No matter where you are on campus, you can find a great place to take a picture. Many of my favorite pictures are of the most important people in my life, many of whom I have met on campus. I have so enjoyed my time at Wichita State University – the faculty and staff go out of their way to help, and I am so grateful for the opportunities that my university has provided me. I hope that you have a chance to check out the great photo spots at WSU!
