Exposure to WSU
As a kid who grew up in the suburbs of Detroit I was never exposed to the city of Detroit very often. Now I've been to for multiple events Detroit. I have been to various sporting events, concerts, car shows, art fairs, museums, family dinners and so on... So I’m not oblivious to what is happening in Detroit, but, I have never been to the Wayne State Campus and its surroundings. My first true experience of the Wayne State campus wasn't an official tour conducted by the school, it was a concert. My friend Liam and I bought tickets to see Thundercat at the Magic Stick on Woodward Ave. I had no idea that was on the Wayne State campus, all I knew was that it was on Woodward Ave so I didn't question anything.
The day of the concert …show more content…
I was slowly starting to fall in love with the atmosphere of the campus. Wayne State has such a unique atmosphere because you have a major city and a major university all in one. Just walking around the campus and see others walk around gave me a very different perspective then I was used to living in the suburb of Novi. In Novi I wasn't exposed to the amazing diversity of Wayne State's campus! Seeing all different kinds of personalities, clothing styles, and smiles made me feel like I would be accepted as soon as I started the fall semester. After walking around for a hour or so my friend and I finally started making our way to the Magic Stick on Woodward Ave. Walking down Woodward I felt completely safe and had no worries of anything bad happening. I know know of this park of town as Midtown. Before this simple yet important walk I had no idea Wayne State was in the heart of Midtown. Now that I was acquainted and saw all the cool places you could go to made me want to Wayne State even more. Although this isn't the most conventional first impression of Wayne State it was mine. Being able to see campus life without formally seeing it with a guide really allowed me to make up my own opinion about the campus and the surroundings. After taking this impromptu tour of the campus just further proved that I make the correct decision on committing to Wayne State
