“Wright State is a healthy medium in size, providing everything you need while still allowing you to make a difference on campus.”
“The quality of education while keeping tuition costs low is unmatched. Also, I don’t know any other school in the world that has tunnels. All my friends at other schools are jealous of that.”
“I remember when I was 18 and first walked onto campus. I think about how much knowledge I had then compared to how much I have now. I attribute everything in between to Wright State.”
