Welcome to Wright State's Living Community

Students love their housing options at Wright State. They are comfortable, convenient, and what you see is what you get.   

A Wright Path resident means you go to classes at your community college, but come home to Wright State. You live in the same community as other Wright State students, so you have more opportunities to meet people. You can also get to know other Wright Path students by participating in a Wright Path living-learning community.
