Review of Western New England University

from Farmington, CT

Describe your college in three sentences.

Western New England is a close-knit campus with many opportunities. Because of the close quarters, everyone gets along and is more than willing help one another. Despite being a smaller campus, WNEU always has something going on for fun.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

WNEU is a school for students that wish to have a close relationship with students and professors. Students are treated with great respect. WNEU has a fantasic Business, Law and Criminal Justice school with multiple majors and connections with real-world careers.

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

WNEU has tough classes but the professor compliment the workload with chances to work on it in class; they offer very flexible office hours for a 1 on 1 session. And the academic center and D'Mour Library have any sort of help fathomable in order to achieve academic success.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

Dorm life is fantastic. My closest friends at school I met in Berkshire Hall. After about of week of getting to know one another, everyone is friends. People bounce from room to room to play video games or ask questions about class or watch television or just chill. Dorm life needs to be a highlight of WNEU advertisement.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

The food is good for the most part. The cafe has wide variety of foods to chose from. And some food lines change on a daily basis whereas other lines stay consistent. The best part about the cafe is it is all you can eat. Food is a commodity and currency in college, it is never taken for granted.

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

There are always athletic events going on. Last year, 4 varsity Golden Bear teams successfully made it to the NCAA tournament. At the campus center, there are musicians, bands, magicians, comedians, movies, karaoke and more going on. Pick-up basketball is a campus favorite.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

All students must ride the Golden Bear that is in the middile of campus. There must be proof of this ride.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Students who want a fantastic education and have fun doing it. WNEU found an almost perfect balance between education and fun. I enjoy my classes and my freetime. I am at the right school.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

There is a club for anything you can think of. And if by some chance the club does not exist, it is almost too easy to create it. I am apart of WNE Ultimate Frisbee and the WNE Varsity Football Team.

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

Campus Police do a phenomenal job. It is a safe campus and if there ever is a problem, the campus police will be there in less than a minute.
