Wichita State University Top Questions

What do you brag about most when you tell your friends about Wichita State University?

Mikheala

The teachers are always willing to help if you ask for it. One of them basically told us 'a close mouth will not get feed,' meaning they cannot read our mind when we need help. It is our responsiblity to ask and it will be given.

Heidi

I brag about the atmosphere! Not only does Wichita State have a beautiful campus that is easy to navigate, but the students are diverse and the teachers really care. You meet so many great people, and learn so many things about different cultures. The teachers really do care about your success, and try their best to help you to succeed. Also, you can't beat going to a Wichita State basketball game and feeling the buzz of excitement and being one with the crowd.

Susan

I bring to their attention the quality of the program and facilty that work in the School of Social Work.

Van

How career focused the school is. There are majors offered that lead to certifications or the ability to sit for a certification in a field which thereby gives recent graduates a better chance out in the job market.

Shelby

When I tell my friends about my school I brag about the fact that Wichita State University has a Chic-Fil-A, then I tell them that I have only had one big lecture class and the rest of them have been small classes of only twenty to thirty students. I also like to brag about the fact that WSU campus is the home of the very first Pizza Hut. I also like to brag about the Shockers are the 2011 NIT Men's Basketball Champions.

Tyler

We have the most peculiar college mascot of any other university I or anyone else knows: WuShock, the grinning shock of wheat. Our basketball and bowling teams are great being recipients of last years NIT and numerous intercollegiate championships, respectively. We're right-dab, smack in the middle of a growing metropolitan city with many offerings in both business, medical, and creative spheres. Wichita has that feel of a big city in a small town atmosphere, and Wichita State students can be a part of it all.

Emily

I love the opportunites to get involved in a variety of activities that WSU presents. I also love a program called Coop in which students are able to gain experiences from a work environment.

Taylor

I brag the most about our comfortable class sizes at Wichita State.

Tamara

When talking about Wichita State I brag mostly on their Speech Pathology program because it is deemed one of the best in the whole state of Kansas.

Stephanie

The music department, the professors who teach my communication sciences and disorders classes, the landscape, and the art work.
