Review of Wesleyan University

from Houston, TX

Describe your college in three sentences.

Wonderful University that allows any student to explore many aspects one would want to seek in a college experience.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Apply! It's really a great University. Research, Visit, Apply! ha ha It's that easy.

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

The workload does get large fairly quickly but it's all about time management and scheduling. If you can sit out 3 hours a day to study you will be fine.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

Each dorm building has it's own character I believe. Despite some being newer than the others, the dorms are still pretty nice compared to other Universities.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

The food is awesome! There are a lot of cafes you can stop by if you just want a quick snack, but if you have time to sit down and eat there is the main dining hall which is a buffet. There is a wide range of food and there is also a lot of healthy food.

What’s there to do for fun at your college?

There is a ton of things to do for fun. Although it is a D3 school in sports there are a ton of sports you can play and club teams you can join if you do not want to commit a lot of time to a varsity sport. There are also events always going on from film series to random poetry jams. There is always something going on and it is well advertised around campus.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

Ummmm it is on the more expensive end of the spectrum, but it is a good school to attend if you can afford it. It is 100% need met so you will be assisted financially to a great extent which is really nice. Overall the education you receive here is by far superior to other universities.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

Well I am a freshman so I am still figuring out all the traditions of the campus but there are always weird and quirky little traditions going on. There always different 1 day shops opened outside of the dining hall that sells prints to

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Suprisingly there isn't one type of student that would fit in here. If you are different per say, you will fit in just well. If you're wondering what I mean by different, you're going to be wondering for a while. It is up to your definition. Everyone fits in from the hipsters to jocks. The campus is very welcoming and friendly.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

Like I said before there are a lot of clubs you can join. There a lot of sport club teams and a ton of other styled clubs.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

Greek life surprisingly does exist but it isn't as big as most schools. The big difference from ours compared to other schools is that you don't have to be part of the frat to join in on the parties. There are always themed of concerts going on at the frat houses and everyone who is a student is allowed to attend.

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?

The campus safety is pretty good. It is an open campus so there is always Public Safety officers driving around. They do a pretty good job in keeping the campus safe.
