Wayne State University

Our experience with Wayne State has been extremely disappointing, especially when compared to the positive experiences our other children have had at three other in-state colleges. The university feels far more focused on generating revenue than supporting students and keeping them healthy. I was initially concerned about the high dropout rate during our campus tour, but we moved forward because my daughter loved the urban atmosphere. Unfortunately, we now understand what it means to be “Wayne Stated,” and it has been frustrating and disheartening. I would strongly recommend exploring other institutions.

Over 5k in mandatory housing and meal plans for my kid to have a mold infested room and be so hungry everyone in her family is sending food. Do not recommend. Update: The school is moving them out of the mold infested room into a more expensive room and charging the difference. For their own negligence.

Decent university. Some professors really don't deserve to teach students. I'm a parent and have been going through colleges, and my kid who's going here has many complaints about a variety of professors. I wonder how people are chosen to lecture, but do better. You are holding the students' future in your hand.

A gem of a university located in the Heart of Detroit. If possible, reside on campus and get involved in everything WSU has to offer!!!

I am writing this review to express the deep frustration and pain I feel as a transfer student watching incoming freshmen receive full tuition under the Heart of Detroit Tuition Pledge and Wayne State Guarantee --- while students like myself are left without support. This policy rewards timing over merit, need, or effort. I've worked hard to return to school, facing greater financial pressure than many of these 18-year-olds, yet I'm excluded simply because I arrived later. I am honestly struggling with extreme feelings of envy and resentment toward those students. It's difficult to watch others receive what I desperately need, especially when I know I have worked hard and overcome challenges that many have not yet faced. This is not a personal attack on any student --- rather, it is a response to a system that seems to prioritize timing over proven resilience and achievement. It feels deeply unfair and creates a divide between students who are supposed to be part of the same community. I urge the university to re-examine these programs!

Love the campus and the area. Safe as long as you are aware of your surroundings.

Same great place as when I was younger. I can remember playing in the orchestra on campus and going to the student center to get breadsticks and candy

There is parking but all taken so you have to pay 10 bucks for it on top of 20 dollar game tickets.
