WAC truly cares for its students. Despite the small size, a student can find programs that suit their interests. The professors also go out of their way and make it their top priority to help the students in any way that they can.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
You do not have to have a major in mind already (one of the pluses WAC has for being a liberal arts college). Take a wide range of classes (not 20 classes, but different types of classes) your first year so that you can experience more than the usual courses that you did in high school. Also, your professors and advisors are there for you, so don't be afraid to go to them.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
You give what you get- if you do not want to take your classes seriously, then do not be surprised when your grades are not where you want them to be.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
Dorm life is what you make it. If you allow yourself, you can have the best experience ever, and meet some incredible people who may become treasured friends.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
Hey, it is infinitely better than high school cafeteria food. Mondos Subs are amazing, by the way.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
Personally, I enjoy the Student Center since they have the latest game systems and games. More often than not, I also have friends over in my room to watch anime, movies, or play video games- life's not bad.
But if that's not your thing, WAC always has events going on, on campus. There's even Open Mike Night, and we've got plenty of clubs. And in case you don't check your e-mails, there's a huge calendar in Hodson (that's where our cafeteria is) that shows what's going on.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
I really can't complain. WAC has helped me to enjoy college life.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
May Day... you'll just have to see it for yourself.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Any type of student you are- artsy, athletic, academic- there is something here for you.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
We've got a wide range of clubs: from Fakespeare, to language clubs, to Asian Culture club, to a club for video gamers, to community service clubs, to sports clubs; and if there is a club you are interested that WAC does not have yet, you can always start one (it's not impossible- we started the Gamers Guild for those who enjoy video games).
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
Never a dull moment?? From what I hear though, Greek life has become an incredible way to get connected on campus and to help students later in life as well. Don't let yourself be bound by petty stereotypes.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
Sure, you may trip every now and then, but we don't have to worry about the more serious safety concerns (as I'm sure is the case with even those taking their walks of shame before the crack of dawn).
