Welcome to Wabash
"My favorite part, my number one favorite thing about living in the Wabash has to be the view. It is amazing. I love it. It’s so beautiful. It’s a great look on to the city especially. To be downtown in Chicago — the vibe, the energy downtown — it's just fun. " - Raymond Goodall (BFA Musical Theatre, '18)
