I came to Wofford as a former IB student expecting a bit of a challenge in some areas. I'm learning more here than I ever have, though, and each day is a joy, so I always look forward to going to class. The professors are passionate about their classes, and that transfers to us students, even in subjects we hate. I'm also learning things I never would have considered before, such as the Chinese language. The program for it is one of the best in the country.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
Outside the classroom, the people are always kind to one another, whether they know you or not. I'm a tour guide here, and whenever I'm walking around campus or through the dorms with a group, every current student we pass says hello and tells the perspectives that they hope they decide to come here. Everyone loves this school. There's also plenty of things to do every weekend, such as concerts, the international festivals, movie showings on campus, and the ever-popular parties at fraternity row. You would think schools like USC and Clemson have something to do every weekend, but all my friends there are bored and end up going home. I've only gone home once, and that's because there's always something to do here.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Although Wofford is an expensive school, scholarships are definitely available. The financial aid office staff are so friendly and will work to set you up with work studies on campus, and have plenty of helpful information on the scholarships and grants available. The tuition is high because you get such a high-quality education here, with professors that love teaching and are eager to help you at any time. I know a professor who took my friend to their son's soccer game in order to tutor them! They go above and beyond the norm, and it's definitely worth the expense. The food in Burwell is pretty great, too.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Visit as soon as you get the chance. I was going to go to Princeton until I visited Wofford, and I fell in love with the tree-lined campus and the people. I hope you do, too!
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Students looking for a challenge and a great education. Every program here is strong, whether you're interested in languages, teaching, mathematics, pre-med, or any area of science. As long as you're here to learn, you'll fit right in.
