What do you consider the worst thing about Wichita State University? Why?

Jessica

As a junior attending WSU I have too much pride in my school to point out anything that could be "the worst thing". I can list a few things that could be tailored. For example, I would love to see some chinese food on campus, and all events no matter how small the gathering should be logged to where all students can see.

The parking at WSU is terrible. If you do not arrive at least thirty minutes before class starts you will be late. There is even a joke on campus that we call ourselves "short-term stalkers." Students constantly stalk others in the parking lots to find a spot!

The inconsistency among teachers. Some are very focused and driven to help the students, where as other teachers are unorganized and do not care. Some teachers use the online program Blackboard and pass back assignments, where as others rarely attempt to return homework and it is difficult the keep track of your grades. The +/- grading system is not as beneficial as I would have hoped. Yes it makes students aim for higher goals, however it brings down your GPA.

The worst thing about WSU is their the food court. There are only a few choices and most are fast food places such as pizza, tacos and chicken. I wish they had a sit down place like a diner that had more homemade choices. I have gain 15 pounds since i started attending last summer; so this semester i am taking a step aerobics to help balance my fast food intake.

Parking tickets can be a problem for anyone visiting the residential parking lots without a parking permit!

Justin

I think the worst thing about the school is the fact that it is a commuter college. There isnt much social life unless you choose to get involved on campus.

Amy

The worst thing about Wichita State is the safety. It's in the worst neighborhood in Wichita, but efforts are being made to make the campus safer. I feel scared all the time which isn't a good feeling. I think it's wise to know about crime, but would rather not live so close to the line of crime in Wichita.

Andrew

The thing i consider the worst about Wichita State University is the reputation it gets from being located near the "ghetto" of Wichita. The campus is completely safe, but many residents believe that it is not.

Wichita State University exists as a nontraditional learning institution. While this is not necessarily a bad thing, the diversity and margin of difference of the stuent population results in a general lack of school spirit and cohesive activity on campus. A majority of the students arrive on campus purely to go to class. Rarely does one meet a student interested in extra-curricular activities and willing to sacrifice the time necessary to participate in those activities. While most of the teachers are great, a few bad seeds ruin the experience for the masses. Some departments are notoriously poorly staffed.

The worst thing I consider about my school is that it's a commuter school so there are a lot of older adults going back to school which makes it a very untraditional atmosphere.
