Wheaton has a wonderful atmosphere. The students are thoughtful and friendly, truly pursuing something outside of themselves. In an effort to think critically, they occasionally begin to have a critical spirit, but overall are very thankful for their time at Wheaton. The faculty and staff are intentional about helping the students foster community.

The community at Wheaton, combined with its excellent faculty is what makes Wheaton a special place. It has a reputation as super-evangelical and conservative, but as a student I believe that the school fosters free-thinking and its students are open-minded. Their beliefs are well though-out. Though most students would call themselves conservatives, you don't have to look hard to find more liberal tendancies. This makes for a great atmosphere: lots of smart, solid Christians with widely varied world views. You learn A LOT outside the lecture hall from deep discussions with friends. There's not much of a party scene (In the traditional sense), but don't worry, you won't be bored. You'll make great friends and have a good time. You will feel comfortable, though challenged, at Wheaton.
Education Quality: A+, Useful Schoolwork: F

The college definitely will provide you a top-notch education and prepare you to be well versed in a certain religio-political-schoarly camp, namely evangelical-republican-evangelical scholarship. Professors are all competetant and students are bright. In my four years of experience there, I learned how to state my positions from aforementioned vintage point but never learned how to engage or dialogue with those whose beliefs and orientation are different from those that the college advocates. For me, university education must take place in a diverse setting (by the way, having a lot of missionary kids and negligeable percentage of ethnic minorities are not what constitutes diversity)in which there needs to be diverse representation of thoughts and beliefs. In this regard, Wheaton falls very short.

If you are thinking about pursuing fine art or commercial art (advertising, graphic, digital media, etc), DO NOT CONSIDER Wheaton. Its art department will not teach you whole lot besides providing you with tools to develop your artistic sensibilities and skills on your own. In addition, the department only has handful of instructors, one for each discipline (during my enrollment, there only were four studio professors).
