Friends University

What are the popular events and traditions at Friends University?

Homecoming and musical performances are recognizable parts of Friends University's campus calendar. Homecoming brings attention to the Falcons and alumni connections, while performances give students and community members opportunities to engage with the university's arts programs.

The Singing Quakers' Christmas concerts are a particularly identifiable musical tradition. Event dates, performers and admission arrangements can change, so the current university calendar is the appropriate source for planning a visit. These events offer a more concrete view of campus participation than claims about how popular or well attended an event may be.

What are the student housing and dining options at Friends University?

Friends University offers on-campus housing, including coeducational housing, alongside the option for many students to commute or arrange housing elsewhere in Wichita. Housing availability should not be treated as a guaranteed assignment: eligibility, application timing and the type of space offered need to be checked for the intended term.

Students considering campus housing should compare residence arrangements, contract dates and meal-plan requirements with their class schedule and budget. Dining access and hours are especially important for students with evening classes, weekend commitments or dietary needs. Off-campus renters should account for utilities, transportation and lease length rather than comparing rent alone with a campus housing charge.
