tennessee wesleyan has two dining places on their campus. the cafeteria, which is open to the public, has an all you can eat food bar. the prices to get in are reasonable considering once you get in you can eat all you want. there is a special deal for commuters with financial aid, if you sign up for the lunch plan, the cafeteria staff put so much of your scholarship money on your student id card so you can just swipe it and not have to pay unless you run out. then there is the grille in the student academic center (sac). it has burgers, fries, smoothies, sodas, and many other items, like a little fast food restraunt. it has open space for studying and club meetings, and pool tables and tv's for if you just wanna relax and eat. every student gets $50 dollars on their id card to use at the grille every semester. then there is the many snack and drink machines on campus, and the snacks that are offered in the school bookstore. tennessee wesleyan will not let you go hungry.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
tennessee wesleyan is a pretty expensive school but i believe it's worth every cent. it's a small campus but you have all the free tutoring, free clubs(minus t-shirt prices), free convocational, and you get a free membership to the ymca located down the road from twc as long as you are a student. and for the easily stressed students, the family counceling center a couple of blocks off campus offers 3 free sessions per semester, so if you don't feel you can talk to the professors, you can go there and get everything off your chest. twc offers alot of freebies and the price of tuition is considerably reasonable when you look at everything this college has to offer.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
there is a memorial on campus of an native american princess and her caucasian lover located on campus. they were supposebly buried where the statues now stand and the legend is a big tale around here. there is also alot of history in some of the buildings and supposibly a few ghost stories about them.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
this is a great place for students who want a quiet, small campus. there's alot of beauty and peacefulness to the enviroment and not alot of chaos like you would find at a bigger campus. it's a christian college and offers alot of opportunities to help the local churches, shelters, and nursing homes. so it you love community service opportunities, this is the place for you. all the classes are more hands-on. the professors really want to make sure you can work well with your peers, and they try there best to make things easy to follow and fun.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
twc offers a wide variety of clubs. from the martial arts club to the criminal justice society. there is literally something for everyone at this college. most of the clubs are free minus the cost of t-shirts, and there are tons of free trips you get to go on in these clubs. there are many sports at twc, although football isn't one of them, we have tennis, soccer, baseball, softball, cheerleading, and many more. plus the entertainment groups like chorus, band, or theatre.

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
it's a small campus, in a small part of the town of athens. not much goes wrong that i've seen or heard of. although, you do need to be prepared for anything just in case. of course, weapons, violence, and drugs are not allowed on campus. there is zero tolerance for it. there are about 3 security officers that walk the campus and keep an eye on things. they are always there if needed. plus, since the cafiteria is open to the public, the local police and firemen like to come and eat lunch and dinner on campus.
