Whether in the classroom or at the poetry or fiction printing press, painting something for art class or acting on the stage, there's always both in-class knowledge and hands-one experience to be found at WSC. Plenty of opportunities exist to learn about new subjects, new interests, and new cultures and ideas.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
Something's always going on at WSC, whether a holiday party involving going to see the supposed ghosts lurking in Ley theather or a late-night Dark Knight party during finals season, or a both hilarious and thought-provoking discussion with several professors. In one day, a student can have a fascinating in-class conversation, go to one of the free movies offered on campus, attend (or start!) a club perfectly tailored to their interests, and hang out with friends while doing homework. WSC is both enjoyable and satisfying.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Even in these tough economic times, the only college names that seem to appear over and over again in conversations are east-coast institutions such as Harvard and Yale. These are perfectly fine, especially for doctors and lawyers, but for teachers and students of the humanities who prefer something that suits their major more and is incredibly affordable, WSC really is the best-kept secret of Nebraska.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Get out of the dorm and join as many groups as you can that interest you, provided you don't overload yourself to the point of only stressing about them. Sit next to new people as often as possible-- say hello and get to know everyone. Seize every opportunity. When you've been studying for 10 hours straight, take someone's offer to go watch Iron Man or Inception at midnight in a dorm room.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Teachers, writers, artists, and anyone involved in the humanities; people willing to stretch beyond their bounds and get to know everyone, including their professors. Those who are willing to work for what they want, accept responsibility, and have fun all the same time will excel here.
