Admissions

If you plan to live on campus, Hamilton Hall is the best.
It is right in the middle of all the campus, and is easily the nicest looking dorm building, is literally 10 feet from the student union (where you eat and such), and has a very quiet atmosphere. The only drawbacks are the shared bathroom and shower for each floor, but they have someone who cleans it every day. In the other buildings you are responsible to clean your own bathrooms. Each room there also comes with a fridge, microwave, bed, dresser, wardrobe, and desk. I have had SO many people tell me that had wished they chose hamilton hall instead of the woods


Study before you take the COMPASS math test. Trigonometry and Algebra are in it. The score will determine where you fit in your math courses, and if you do well you can skip allot of courses.

Also, get involved with a before school event.
They have something called FOOT which is a hiking/camping thing.
There is also AAP which is a review of mathematics for engineers right before the school year, which will help you test higher.
ALL of my closer friends at this university are ones i met at AAP. i didnt go to FOOT, but i heard it was a great experience.

The best thing to do is to apply for as many scholarships as possible. Also, never be afraid to ask for help from the staff if you need it. They are more the willing to help.

Make sure you go to your professor for help and ask plenty of questions. If the professor knows who you are then you will do better. Also make shure you go to every class, there is know better way to know the material than actually going to class.

Live on campus your freshman year. I didn't and I regret it. I live on campus now and everything is just so much better. I am more involved, I don't have to make the 45 minute drive everyday, and I don't have to find a parking spot.

Get involved. Most clubs are looking for new members constantly. Also being a member of clubs will look good on grad school applications if you plan on going there.

The basketball games are probably the most fun thing to do on campus. People may say there isn't much to do, but they aren't looking very hard. If there is nothing to do there is a mall less than five minutes away, along with every restaurant chain you have ever heard of, and a movie theater, and a bowling alley nearby.

Whatever you do, get involved on campus! At the beginning of the year, check out all the student organizations, and if one looks interesting to you, don't be afraid to jump in! That's how you'll make friends on campus, and that's what makes your college experience worth while!

For prospective students, don't be afraid of how big campus and you'll make friends quickly. Many people will tell you not to take the UVC class that is a freshman intro class but that is the class that I made my first set of friends in. College does have it's responsibilties though, make sure to do all your homework and don't wait to study at the last minute!

Whether living on campus or commuting, get involved in clubs and organizations at Wright State! This makes college so much more enjoyable!

College is NOT high school. You have to study and read a lot more in order to get by with a satisfying grade. You also have to know how to manage your time wisely and not procrastinate (I'm still getting adjusted to that one).

It's one of the cheapest options for college as a public, division one university. A lot of students are close to home, so many are commuters, which is a great way to make friends. The campus feels large, but you don't feel overwhelmed. Wright State is also small enough that your professors are always there to help with questions, even in huge 200+ lecture halls. Also, you will love the tunnel system whenever you feel the weather is bad. The tunnels connect most of the buildings to one another, so basically, you never have to go outside in the cold-- love this!

Talk with the counselors and tutors if you need any help!
