This school is one of the greatest choices I have made in my life. It favors the relationships among students, faculty, administration, and parents so is ideal for the student looking for a real experience. Wake is really the right step for preparation in the competitive work force.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
I suggest you meet with everyone you possibly can and find ways to be remembered. Make sure that all paperwork is submitted on-time if not early because having a smooth smailing experience is a lot less stressful than one with a lot of extra worrying. Finally, during finals week, get to the library for the free food at midnight because it really does help you stay focused longer.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
This school is one of the most prestigious schools in the nation and it is challenging academically but it is instrumental in developing skills for the future.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
Dorm Life gets 4 stars because the process for applying for dorms in the future is too scary. They allow the upperclassmen to get housing first but it leaves the underclassmen stuck with little or no opportunity to get what they want. However, the system is set up so you can pull in your friends. You may end up with a location farther away from class or the cafeteria but at least you will be amongst people you know. Additionally, Wake has fabulous tasks for resident advisers to make dorm life fun. The equipment for you just keeps you entertained doing anything.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
The cafeteria is called the Pit and the food is great but it gets really repetitive. The only thing I suggest is using Food Dollars wisely because they go surprisingly fast. Share your swipes if you have extra. It really just helps out your friends a lot, especially if they are trying to save money for other things. The fast food places are good but make sure you order healthily. It is VERY easy to gain a few while on campus.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
There is always something to do on campus. Wake pays for live entertainment quite often. There are always parties on campus and if you need to get away, Wake has a pretty good parking situation so it is easy to find fun if necessary. There are many places to meet up with friends so take advantage of those opportunities. Wake has also found ways to make volunteering so simple that it is a fun task. Sometimes gather as a group of friends to support a cause and you will be amazed at how much you laugh.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Wake is expensive but they give you so much. The only thing that is distasteful is personal purchase of books. The entertainment, size of dorms, range of food availability, small class size, and beauty of the campus are definitely worth it.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
My favorite traditions are Project Pumpkin, the largest volunteer opportunity of the school, and rolling the Quad. After winning a big home game, it is a tradition that the students throw toilet paper on the trees all over the Quad. Do NOT use dorm toilet tissue for the festivity. Wake provides it.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
This campus is great for students who do not wish to merely be a number and want the liberal arts experience. There are a wide range of possibilities available. If there are any students who like to travel, Wake's study abroad has outstanding ratings for the amount of kids that are able to travel to the country of their choice and partake in the program of choice. They make an opportunity for anyone who wishes to go. I am going to London for my upcoming fall semester!
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
Wake has a club and activity for any activity that you could possibly be of interest. Even if Wake does not have the particular group, they make it easy and there is an office specifically designed for helping an individual the club of choice. Ideas for new activities are also highly appreciated.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
Greek Life is prevalent on campus but about half of the students while the other half do not. It does not matter whether you pledge or not but it is an experience of a lifetime. There are networking opportunities available to you that could make the difference in the future. Greek Life does come with a few perks such as the ability to pick housing before everyone else and a team to experience Beach Weekend. If you want to know more about that, you will have to come to Wake.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
The officers on campus are always around. The amount of orientations that you will endure during the first days on campus will having you running off emergency numbers like jingles. There are also lights that can be switched if a student is in danger. There is help at all hours for each and every situation. Wake also offers self defense classes for students who want a little extra help.
