Transfer Campus Housing - Welcome

Discover the Many Advantages to becoming Shocker! Wichita State has developed programs and services to make your transition to our campus as smooth as possible. Our transfer guides have a variety of resources available to assist you in getting your transfer-related questions answered. Our transfer equivalency website will help you see how your credits will transfer to WSU. We have scholarship opportunities just for students transferring here and three admissions representatives dedicated to helping you along the way.

WSU offers quality academic programs, a vibrant student life, opportunities to make an impact on the community and that special Shocker Spirit. Join the “Thinkers, Doers, Movers and SHOCKERS” at Wichita State.

Wherever you are transferring from, fantastic opportunities await you at Wichita State University.

One of those opportunities is specialized housing tailored to the incoming transfer student experi-ence. The residence halls have two different transfer communities, Wheatshocker Apartments and Brennan Hall.

Both communities focus on easing your transition to WSU with activities to connect you with other students and the campus. Since each community is in a different hall, you can mix and match building styles and amenities to find the place that is right for you.

Brennan Hall

Brennan Hall, a three-unit complex, was constructed as a men’s dormitory to accommodate the influx of students the University experienced following World War II. The north unit was occupied in 1953, followed by the middle and south units in 1962.

Wheatshocker Apartments

Wheatshocker Apartments

In the fall of 1994, WSU President Eugene Hughes proposed buying the apartments to “make a new building out of an old building.” With an invest-ment of about $11.6 million in revenue bonds, the university gutted the six-story, U-shaped building and replaced virtually everything. The first phase of renovation was completed by the fall 1996 se-mester. It is now a prime housing option for sopho-mores, married students and single-parent students with no more than two children.

Transfer students can live anywhere on campus, but those who live in our transfer communities love it. They have all the conveniences of living on campus plus the benefit of living with others who can relate to the transfer student experience.
