I would keep it that way.  Wire wrapping is something dinasours did.  In
recent years the price of small quantity PC board fabrication has come done
dramatically.  Some places even have student discounts.  If you can stick to
2 layers, then you should be able to get 4-5 boards of reasonable size of
under $100.  It will be more work to do your first PC board than to wire
wrap one, but it is a much more valuable skill.  It won't be nearly as
intimidating the second time.

It will also sound a lot better in an interview if you said you made PC
boards for your senior project rather than wire wrapped it.  If someone came
to me out of school and talked about their senior project being wire
wrapped, I would immediately think the professor hasn't kept up, and wonder
what else you didn't learn.
