The professors here are fantastic. Unlike many other schools where you end up with just another class with just another lecture, the professors at W&J want to get you involved and have you actively participate, making the learning environment enjoyable. Now, you're going to do a lot of work, it hasn't made the name for itself that it has by giving students easy A's, but believe or not, you will want to do the work.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
W&J is one of the most enjoyable places I have been. Both inside and outside of the classroom it is a completely different environment than anything I have ever experienced. Everyone here is incredibly nice and looks out for your well being, both physical and educational.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Now, you may be thinking that I'm crazy... Paying almost $45,000 a year all said and done, how can it be THAT worth it? It is. No doubt about it, it is. This school has the best cafeteria food I have eaten, access to a nice gym, and a massive list of clubs and activities for a college of this size. Plus, if you ever have an idea, just take it to one of the student reps and they'll see what they can do for you. There are so many opportunities that they make for you that they should almost charge you more!
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
1) Along the lines of Bang for the buck, apply for scholarships - a lot of them - apply early - apply often.
2) When you get here, make friends with the people on your floor, it's a long year, I'm sure they're pretty cool people.
3) Along with making friends with those on your floor, talk to people. Don't seclude yourself. You start now, you say you'll change later, but you won't. From the beginning be social, you'll make more friends and have a lot more fun that way.
4) Stay focused. There is time for fun and time for work - most of the time. You are in college, not a zoo. The purpose of being here is to prepare you for life, to educate yourself, and get a degree, not to party so much that you don't study and end up failing out.
5) Talk to your professors. Most of them are some of the coolest people you will ever meet. I encourage you to get to know them, because at some point you are going to need guidance, and who better to go to than someone who has been there before, right?
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Students who want a rock solid education.
Students going pre-law or pre-med.
Our German program is pretty solid.
Honestly there isn't any one program here done poorly, just some done outstandingly well.
