ICYMI: DFS ALUMNI SHARE WHY THEY APPLIED TO WSU
Currently there are 21 DFS Alumni attending Wayne State University and 6 graduating seniors planning to attend. WSU is always a popular choice. Here's what 2 alumni had to say about why they chose to be a Warrior:

  • "I mainly chose Wayne State based on how close to home it is for me...the environment is also unique. It is a fun experience to go to school in the middle of Detroit and I have been able to join clubs and I cheer." -Emily E., Melvindale Class of 2019 Click here for the full Q&A with Emily

  • "I chose Wayne State because of its uniquely diverse campus. Not only do I love being so close to the city, but Wayne offered a diversity that I couldn’t find anywhere else. The class sizes are often small which offers a great learning environment and a plus for me was that the dorms were spacious and had air conditioning and their own bathroom!" -Riley B., Berkley Class of 2018 Click here for the full Q&A with Riley
