The historic Wayne State campus puts all of the Motor City at your fingertips

Public Urban Walkable Midtown Nightlife Theater Art

Positioned right in the heart of midtown Detroit, Wayne State is an esteemed research institution and a key player in the city’s historic and cultural landscape. Stunning campus buildings like Old Main date back well over a century, giving the environment a timeless atmosphere. Both on campus and nearby, there’s always something fun to check out: Catch a movie screening at the Detroit Institute of the Arts, go see a band playing at the Majestic theatre, or grab some friends and come play a few frames at Garden Bowl, the oldest operating bowling alley in the United States. Woodward Avenue runs from the main campus all the way to the Joe Louis monument downtown, lined with terrific attractions to occupy your off-hours. Securing an apartment, condo, or rental house in Midtown will ensure that you have access to the university as well as the city’s restaurants, galleries, music venues, and nightlife.
