The starting points for classes are well tailored to your high school work. I was placed onto the Analysis track based on my AP scores, but the new information I was acquiring was similar to my sociology class. I have never taken sociology before, but in both cases I learned an incredible amount of information.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
The sense of community is extremely strong here and I get along with everyone that I live with. It may take a bit of effort to get some people to talk, but everyone here is surprisingly friendly. That includes the frats/sororities.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Wesleyan is very expensive, but has its reasons. You are paying to live in a small, tight-knit community focused on academic excellence. If you are someone that Wesleyan wants they'll be sure to help you through, which is a major relief. A lot of people say you pay for your University's name on you diploma, and Wesleyan carries a lot of weight with it.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
The essays are important, and are your chance to present yourself. If you don't have a lot of life experience they can be hard to write, but there is a reason for that. Wesleyan is looking for the bright and the involved, so those clubs will definitely count too.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
This school is greatly for those seeking an academically nurturing environment, while not wanting to become a number to a massive university. City folk are very common, but small town kids won't feel out-of-place. Its a nice blend between the two lifestyles, and gives you room to grow.
