Read What Students Are SayingI am a current freshman at TWC. I feel like my academics have soared so much higher since high school. I feel everyday in class is not a waste.
Kaylee from Wartburg, TN
tennessee wesleyan is a great college and worth the money. the professors take time to help each individual student and they don't just treat their students like a number. they really try to get you envolved in the community to help better your service leader skills and prepare you for your future.
Brandi from Tellico Plains, TN
Tennessee Wesleyan is actually a wonderful college due to the apparent enthusiasm from the staff. The campus is small, quaint, and comfortable. And the food is delicious.
Dwayne from Vinton, VA
This school has an amazing student/professor ratio. The small classes allow for intimate interaction and allow each class to be taught in a way that is best for the particular group. Most professors are easily accessible and are willing to help you in anyway possible, jobs, grad school or even just making it through the semester.
