The same things that make you want to become a Wildcat now will help you become a successful Wildcat after graduation.

“The cost here at Wayne is very reasonable, and there are so many opportunities to get your cost down. I’m currently involved with the men’s soccer club, which is a great way to make friends. There are so many other great clubs and activities on campus to help people fit right in. One of my favorite clubs would have to be the International Club, which allows you to meet with other students from different countries and with people right here in the community.”

- Glen John Kavanagh

**Premium and single rooms are available at higher rates.

***Living expenses (cellphone/data, clothes, entertainment, travels, etc.) estimated at $250-$350/month.
