Wright State University is your typical commuter school with the additional "live on campus" feel. Honestly, there's nothing special. It's kind of just a school that gets the job done per say. Which is alright, but it isn't for me. The professors were not in touch with the students by any means. Which I am completely against. I think that professors should know the students and actually want to help them. This is why I am going to go to UCBA. It's a smaller community school and I've only heard incredible things about the staff there. Wright State might be right for others, but certainly not for me. I look forward to my new school life at UCBA in Fall of 2017!
I really enjoyed the campus and many teachers really care about their students! However, in the science field there were nay professors only concerned with their personal research projects.
I have had such a positive experience at Wright State University. Not only have the communications classes boosted my confidence academically and challenged me, the climate of Wright State outside of the classroom is so comfortable and welcoming. I have grown academically and matured during my freshman year.
The only thing that I would say puts a damper on the generally positive vibe on campus is the long-standing issue with the university budget, and while Wright State is working to remedy this problem, it's my belief that a perspective student should have all the facts. Understanding that we have a big budget problem is one of these facts.
This is solely my opinion, but I think the location of Wright State relative to my house is just right. It was a factor in making the college selection, and it's allowed me to gain more independence while still being in the same state and close to so much family.
