Wichita State University is located in the city of Wichita, in the state of Kansas. As the largest city in Kansas, Wichita has a diverse community and offers lots of resources and activities for students.

The university is nestled within the city limits, yet it offers a traditional university setting with ample green space, making it an ideal blend between urban and campus life. There are also plenty of off-campus housing options for students, many within walking distance to the university.

It's also home to an eclectic mix of locally-owned restaurants and shops. Groceries and other conveniences are easily accessible, and the community is known for being friendly and welcoming.
