A global living experience in the heart of Detroit
Studying at Wayne State is the choice of many international students because of the university’s cultural diversity. Our world-renown urban research university is nestled in Midtown Detroit, an American cultural hub. When you say yes to campus housing, you’ll be in walking distance from nearby museums, galleries, theaters and restaurants.
My favorite thing about living on campus is being able to connect with different students and be able to be so close to my classes. I really enjoy being here, and I am excited that I moved to campus instead of commuting from home.
