Wright State has some great professors, and the students are generally friendly.  WSU offers an assortment of majors and courses, which I found surprising given that it's a small school.  You can access WSU's wireless internet service almost anywhere on campus.  The campus is also small compared to other universities, and the buildings are close together, meaning an average 5-minute walk between classes.  However, because the majority of students are commuters (about 82%), this university lacks social activities.  The few activities that do exist are rarely attended.  The university has a lot of student organizations, but attendance at club meetings is minimal—sometimes because of class schedules, but more often than not, it is lack of interest that keeps even club members from going to their club's meetings!  The class size is large in the first year or so, which makes it difficult for many out-of-state commuters to make friends.  Most people here have lived in Ohio their entire lives, and I've talked to quite a few who are ignorant about world events.  Moreover, most hang out with friends they've had since middle school or high school, which makes it all the more difficult to meet people.  WSU is located in a suburb in the midst of a big shopping area (a shopping mall and several restaurants and stores).  Although the campus has numerous parking lots, these are usually full by mid-morning and empty again by around 4:00 PM.  If you plan to commute, schedule yourself for early morning or late afternoon classes, if possible!  Overall, WSU is a good school academic-wise, but if you're looking for a place with a great social life, look elsewhere.  After only one year here, that's what I'm doing!
