Wayne State University Reviews

"I am so glad that I chose to attend Wayne State. The faculty is always available and so willing to help students. The Dean of Students office goes above and beyond helping students as well. I would recommend this school to anyone I know attending college."

"The pros of my graduate program include the programs value and the academic competitiveness and diversity of the school itself. However, the cons include financial aid availability and funding, as well as the overall feel for safety."

"The pros for the program, as that Wayne as a great network base. In addition, we have amazing professor and are always willing to help and aid students."

"Wayne State University is located in the heart of Detroit, MI. As a medical student, this diverse location provides me with many types of patients. The facilities of the school are also really nice. The medical school campus is near many large hospital. It is also near the undergraduate campus, so all medical school students receive all benefits that undergrads receive, such as the free gym. The cons of this school are few, but include the advising office. Although very friendly and amicable, they don't offer advising appointments to incoming students."

"Wayne state University is a wonderful place to learn and grow as a young professional. The university is very diverse and offers many opprotunities to socialize and learn with people from all different types of backgrounds. The faculty and professors are so helpful and always available. Attending Wayne State University has been an amazing experience."

"One pro of the graduate program is the flexiblity of class schedules. Also professors are very undrstanding and keep active communication with student. A con would be the surrounding area."

"I feel that the graduate program is great for several reasons. The small class sizes allow for me to really interact with my professors and peers which is beneficial in improving my education. Because the campus is in an urban setting, it provides many job and networking opportunities, cultural experiences, and social activities to really enhance the university experience."

"PROS: Wayne State University is a very well known school across the nation. The academia is a well-credited and established institution. I enjoy the program I am currently in. The professors are phenomenal and are willing to assist all students to help them graduate. CONS: The funding is not there. Tuition is extremely expensive and loans are just piling up. The location is approximately 1 hour from my house so gas is expensive as well. One last CON about the school is that I found it difficult to get assistance with graduate level writing material, such as revising and critiquing papers."

"Wayne State University Law School is one of the best in Michigan. It offers a very competitive curriculum at an affordable price. Wayne Law grads enter the legal profession with the tools they need for successful careers. Located in the heart of Detroit, the diverse cultural makeup of the student body adds to the overall experience. The faculty and staff let it be known that they are available 24/7 and that your success is their primary concern. I am proud to be a Wayne Law student."

"As a alumni of Wayne State University, it should speak for itself the fact that I chose to continue my education there after my first degree. The professors at this University are extremely caring and want you to succeed. They have proven this by going above and beyond for students, not just as a group of people but also as individuals. If a student is having trouble with something, it may be related to the program or their personal lives, the professors will do what they can to help and accommodate said student in any way possible. I love this university for the faculty that I have gotten the pleasure to have known. They are a caring group of people that have proven themselves faithful to their students. As a future educator, I believe this is a great example to follow and an ideal group of role models for future teachers. I believe another pro for the university is it's location. There is no other place like Detroit, Michigan. It's culture and atmosphere are different from any other campus. It is in the heart of a big city that has seen many struggles. However, being there, students see that the city is not only full of struggles but also full of great beauty and opportunity. Wayne State University helps support this by being very active in the community and a huge supporter and advocate of urban based programs. For example, in the Education department, there is a huge push on how to approach and connect with a different groups of kids and opportunities to work in the city of Detroit to have a personal experience with diversity. These together create an great community atmosphere and show students at the university the importance of coming together and being a strong unified force for the good of their community and peers. The only con of the University I would say is the administrative managing there. During my time as an undergraduate, I had multiple problems with my financial aid that all turned out to be errors made by the university. In addition, it was somewhat difficult to see a general education adviser (specific college advisers are always great!) because you were not assigned a specific person and this resulted in the student (me) receiving mixed information. So, the only con, in my opinion, to this University is the managing and applications of the administrative side."

"Good faculty, decent quality of life, excellent clinical experience."

"The staff is outstanding and they truly care about each student learning. They want to produce a good product. Cons are just student safety in the area, but there is a lot of security around the university buildings."

"Tell us about your college experience.It was good. I learned a lot. But I did not succeed"

"Tell us about your college experience.I did enjoy attending classes, as most of them were interesting with decent teachers.Would you get the same degree if you could start over?No. In fact, I've recently returned to school part-time to try for a degree in science. I have used my college courses in my career, but not my specific degree.What advice can you offer other students?Go to community college for the first year or two to get some of your prerequisites out of the way. It's much cheaper!"

"The faculty are wonderful. Every professor I have studied under was invested in their students. They work hard and give you the feedback you need to succeed. I am not particularly fond of the location of the university. I still believe the good outweighs the bad."

"Wayne State University's School of Social Work graduate program is a very diverse and competitive program. I appreciate attending classes with a diverse classroom population. The city of Detroit especially the Midtown area specifically has lots to offer from theaters to sports venues, however I feel that the campus is not always safe due to the campus being so open. The professors within this program are very knowledgeable in their field of expertise and are always willing to provide assistance whenever asked."

"The pros of my graduate program is that the class is large and so one is able to get exposure from many people with different back grounds. The cons of my graduate program is that there is not enough financial aid money to go towards the students."

"They are very interested in the experience of learning with hands on ways of teaching."

"I couldn't have chosen a better place to pursue my graduate degree. The support of faculty and classmates is unmatched to any program that I know of."

"So far, so good. I am very pleased with Wayne State University's faculty, student body, on-campus environment, etc. My professors have been nothing but amazing. They make sure you understand the material before moving on to the next lesson. I love it here! The only con I can think off is the parking. Parking in the structures is very expensive and parking in the streets are very limited (since the campus is in downtown Detroit)."
