Washington and Jefferson has a nice small college atmosphere that enables you to get to know your professors and seek help when needed. This college also has an abundance of clubs, activities, and sports to participate in when you have free time. You will also meet a lot a great people in your dorm, at parties, and in frats and sororities that you will become very close with for the years to come.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Always get your work done ahead of time, do not procrastinate. If you are trying to go premed start studying for exams at least 2 weeks ahead of time; they are hard. If you have an issue with anything about life in your dorm ask Reslife, they can help with a lot of things.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
The sciences are tough, you have to put a lot of time in for those. Other classes really depend on what come easy to you and what doesnt. There are certain teachers you do not want to take for certain subjects so just ask any upper classman you know for details about that.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
The first semester is always really fun but do not get too carried away and let your grades slip. You will have to pay for that next semester when you have to work your butt off to make the GPA. If your roomate is crazy or you dont get a lot, do not worry, you can always find another place to study and you'll make plenty of other friends to hang out with.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
The Commons and GnT's are both great. Do not eat George and Toms everyday for every meal because you will gain weight. Make sure you are smart about what your eating and try to be healthy.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
If you make good friends you will always have fun no matter what. There are usually parties on the weekend or you can stay in and hang out with you friends. The school also sends out emails with all the events taking place that weekend if you really have nothing to do. Also, do not wander around certain parts of the town aimlessly at night, the townies mostly are not good people so you don't want to get in a stir up with them.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
Usually all the freshman think its cool to try and get to the tower on top of the gym at least once.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Friendly and laid back, but also determined and hardworking.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
I can speak for the Track and Field program and its great. It does not take up too much time and its a good way to stay in shape. Also you meet a whole new group of people to bond and hang out with.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
