Location. It's what separates Wichita State from the other guys. As Kansas' only urban-serving state university, WSU can offer things the others can't. By combining a traditional college atmosphere with the endless possibilities of the state's biggest city, Wichita State is the only school in Kansas that can provide an educational experience that goes beyond the limits of a typical college town. Bottom line — because we're in Wichita, Kansas, Wichita State students have advantages other students don't. Period.
