Westmont College

Westmont College was my first choice. I got in and without thinking too much about it, i immediately accepted. As a student who received averge grades, academics was challenging. I loved the small ratio of students to professors. Professors are very approachable and most want to help and talk to their students. However if you miss class, it is very noticable (which sucked). You have limited absences in most classes. Also, there were a lot of events and opportunities to get invovled (like Spring Sing, abroad programs, Clark cruise, etc). Thats good and all but people are not very welcoming. Most people put on a facade, fake. It is especially hard if you're Asian, Black, or Hispanic. As an Asian girl, I noticed people trying to hard to be friendly to me. I never thought i "fit in". More importantly, many people pushed christian beliefs (anti homosexuality, blah blah) on me. If i had a problem, some people would be lets pray about it. NO, i want to talk about it. This got annoying.. People here can be very shady. Personally, I like to go out and have fun. But when my roommate ratted me out, I had 40 community service hrs, classes online, counseling (which was actually good), was on probation, and my parents found out. My second semester was harder. Honestly, if it wasn't for my parents telling me to continue, I wouldn't have went back second semester. Overall, I learned a lot (good and bad) my freshman year but I don't think Westmont was the place for me to grow. And i don't think I will be coming back.
