I had a fantastic time at Wesleyan. The professors, barring a very few exceptions, were engaging, caring, and helpful. The campus really felt like home and provided an excellent environment for learning and living. The housing is great, with senior getting to live in amazing woodframe houses around campus and ample single dorm rooms available for underclassmen. The social atmosphere was also great, with numerous parties every weekend at frat/program houses as well as the senior houses, with pretty much all parties open to everyone on campus. There are also a ton of other ways to enjoy yourself, including performances, speakers, cultural events, and the film series, which are all heavily attended. It's also important to emphasize that Wesleyan is a place where you can really be yourself and have a great time. Finally, when the weather gets nice, NOTHING beats the environment out on Foss Hill and Andrus field every afternoon, which fill with students playing sports, playing/listening to music, doing homework, and just hanging out. I can strongly and certainly say that my time at Wesleyan has been the best of my life, and has prepared me more than adequately for the world to come.

Super Brilliant
Wesleyan is a great school for students seeking a true liberal arts experience. I felt like I could take almost any class I wanted to (within reason) each semester. You don't have to be married to your major. You can be involved with dance every semester and be a biology major. You can (as I did) complete your major in a couple of semesters, and then take whatever you want. Double-majoring is popular nowadays, but I think it's a good idea to take Wesleyan up on the fact that it has tossed out its strict graduation requirements. You can basically take only courses that interest you and graduate within many majors at Wesleyan. The faculty generally are accessible and almost all students are friendly and approachable. I have a lot more to say, but... if you check out www.collegeotr.com/wesleyan you can read more in my blog about Wesleyan life.

The students at Wesleyan not only are close-minded and homogeneous, but they think they are open-minded and heterogeneous, which is worse. Don't come here if you want anything but a liberal perspective on the world. I think they should even hang a sign that says "Conservatives Need Not Apply" on the Admissions door, so they'll have less rejection letters to send. Also, a "No Christians Allowed" sign should additionally be hung. I am not conservative, nor am I religious, but I do have respect for a difference of opinion, so if you think you're different, go someplace where you'll get the respect you deserve.

Wes has it's good points, but "individuality" is not it. Neither is activism. If you're looking for a hippie school, it hasn't been found here since 2001. It all comes back to those non-existent differences of opinion.

Bring the weird back to Wesleyan!!! The last time I was on campus I was astounded by the number of preppy people that I saw. As Wes continues to try to climb the US News rankings they are losing what I loved about Wesleyan.
