The Campus Health Center is an excellent resource for
students living on campus. Each WSU student gets one free
office visit per semester. The center provides many health
services including sickness care, immunizations, TB testing,
medication refills and management, asthma treatments, STD
testing, contraception options, and diagnostic tests. These
services can either be billed to your insurance or may be
offered at a discounted price. All health information is
confidential and will not be shared with parents, significant
others, resident advisors, teachers, friends, or anyone else.

however, it is strongly recommended to send it in prior to

Living in the Heart
of the City
Wayne State is also home to many Division I and II sports
teams. The WSU fields and courts are just steps away from
campus housing. Almost all WSU sporting events are free to
students with their OneCard.
On weekends students can discover music festivals like the
Detroit Electronic Music Festival and the annual Hoedown
at Hart Plaza. If you have a passport or enhanced drivers
license Canada, is only a bridge or tunnel away to take in the
experience of another country that’s close to home. Students
can also find cultural experiences while feasting on a great
meal in Greektown or Mexican Village. In the winter students
can visit Campus Martius Park where you can slip on a pair
of ice skates and skate next to the City of Detroit’s holiday
tree. While you are downtown, check out the Hard Rock Café
nearby.
Whether you are looking for a night out on the town, a
chance to tempt your taste buds or just an opportunity to
cheer on your favorite team—Wayne State is proud to be
in the center of Detroit. We hope you take the opportunity
to experience all the great things Detroit has to offer its
students who live in the heart of it all!
Detroit, Michigan
Home of WSU
There is always something to do on or around Wayne State’s
campus. Hip and urban, the area has an energy all its own.
Students enjoy making trips to the unique restaurants, art
galleries, shops and cafes to hang out and relax. Within
walking distance are the Detroit Institute of Arts, the Charles
Wright Museum of African American History, the New Detroit
Science Center and the beautiful branch of the Detroit Public
Library.
If catching a play or musical is more your style, then checkout
the Wayne State Hilberry and Bonstelle theatres. Nearby
are the Detroit Symphony Orchestra and Michigan Opera
Theatre, as well as the Fox Theatre, Detroit Opera House,
Masonic Temple and Fisher Theatre featuring Broadway
shows and travelling ballet companies.
If sports are what you like, Detroit is the home to the Tigers,
Red Wings and Lions whose stadiums and arenas are within a
few miles of campus. These teams often feature discounted
tickets with a valid OneCard. You can check out their
websites during their regular seasons for more information.
