Wayne State University is leading people back to the midtown Detroit. WSU is a major showcase and backer of midtown detroit.Here is a link of WJBK FOX @ News interviews with WSU president. http://www.myfoxdetroit.com/my fox/pages/Business/Detail?cont entId=4241699&version=4&locale =EN-US&layoutCode=VSTY&pageId= 4.1.1 | ||

Yep, and all of Midtown area is getting ethnically diverse. That's will be the future of Detroit. (Message edited by danny on September 04, 2007) | ||

Good interview...I like Dr. Reid a lot and think he's good for Wayne State and Detroit... I especially liked hearing this comment... "We don't build a thing on the campus now that doesn't have a retail element in it, be it a residence hall or even classroom buildings." | ||

I'm a big college sports fan. I heard on the telecast of the Navy/Temple game that Temple has 35K students with 10K living on or near campus. I wonder what Wayne states is the number of their students living on or near campus? As someone indicated earlier this year, WSU and Temple are very similar institutions. | ||

Yes, Thejesus. I just watched the interview and caught the comment of 2K more then the 1,200 of 10 years ago. Temple is at 10K so maybe even 5K would be a good goal for Wayne. | ||

You also, have to keep in mind that many students may not live on campus or in student housing, but live in surrounding areas (e.g. Woodbridge). I wouldn't doubt that at least 1,000 more students live in off-campus housing within walking/biking distance of the campus. |
