6 Things to Know About Wright State

Which I guess makes sense because there isn’t a state named “Wright.” Wright State is located near Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Fairborn, Ohio and operates as a branch campus for Ohio State and Miami University. 17,779 students attend Wright State and their colors are hunter green and gold; according to their website, the colors are based on the Green Bay Packers and their nickname on the Oakland Raiders.
