Campus Living with Jenna

Transcript

Let’s meet Jenna. She’s here to show us where Shockers live on campus. Wichita State’s residence life community offers comfortable modern facilities built with the needs of today’s students in mind. No shared showers or communal living. Each suite has a private bathroom and there are plenty of quiet spaces for students to study alone or with the group. Take it away, Jenna.

– Thank you so much for that introduction, Alex. Hi everyone. When I first began my college search, I was absolutely overwhelmed by all the different options. However, the minute I stepped onto Wichita State University’s campus, I knew that this was going to be home. I fell in love with the academics, the innovation, and the tight-knit community of Wichita. This sense of belonging began when I first stepped onto campus and continued on through scholarship competitions, the first day of classes and even continues to this day. At Wichita State University, there are three different on-campus housing options, Shocker Hall, the suites, and the flats. All three of these buildings are only around 10 years old, and so they’re filled with all new amenities, fully furnished laundry facilities, and plenty of space for students. The staff and resident assistants plan activities to keep students engaged on campus and build community throughout the year. In Shocker Hall, as a first year student, you can choose to live in a living learning community or an LLC. LLCs are designed to create a tight-knit community of students with similar academic interests. Living on an LLC floor was one of the main ways I found camaraderie at Wichita State. I have learned so much from living on campus, including how to manage my independence, how to balance my social life and schoolwork, and how to be overall successful here at Wichita State. I love the vibrant community and welcoming atmosphere of Wichita, and I’m eagerly anticipating the experiences and years to come at Wichita State. Thank you so much, and back to you, Alex.

– Wow Jenna, the food looks delicious. Wichita state’s on campus living options really focus on what students need to succeed. Thanks for all that info, Jenna. Take care.
