My very first visit to Wooster had me completely in love with every aspect of the school; however, as I quickly found out, most of what I was told were lies. While most of my professors were approachable and helpful, I had several that were rude, condescending and unhelpful. I felt that students were friendly, but very polarized, meaning that it seemed they were jocks or really weird. In addition, unless you like to party a lot, there is not a good social scene. It gets really boring really fast. I transfered out after one year.

I feel like Wooster gives a very different impression on a tour than in person. They say there will be plenty of things going on and they are a small school but they don't feel small. Both, are false. There is nothing to do except parties (which gets old) and it is a small school that feels SMALL!!!

I don't feel like I am recieving a great education. I am a Communication Sciences and Disorders major with a focus on audiology and we do not even currently have a qualified audiology professor.

The school seems to be more concerned about money and their financial status than the welfare of their students. They do not offer enough sections of required courses yet they boast of their "four year" graduation rate.The IS program is a great experience, but that is all. All in all i wish I had gone to a different college and I think I would be receiving a better experience and a better education

Man,what can i say about this place. I am an international student and this school has been a total disappointment for me. I came all the way across the pacific to see this kind of shit here. I wish i had the chance to visit the campus before i made my decision. This school has been giving me hard times forever. I was a little bit shy and my english was not so fluent in the very beginning(i did not pick this one myself), however i got the hardest FYS in the last semester. I could not comprehend at all, so i wished to switch it but nobody cares about it. the dean just throw me a word that the only case they switch is because the kid lost his parents in one week..can you imagine how i felt at that moment? I could not even describe it...why r you telling me this kinda shite, this is not productive at all. They treat you well in admission and send you everything to make you fell that this is the right place for you.

There are lots of stuff that doesn't really make sense here, i got fired for twice from my job, i can say that i did my best and did not do anything wrong. I just got fired for no reason. I need to pay 100 to drop a class which is passed the deadline, even if i am willing to pay that money, they still want to make it so complicate that could propabaly take two weeks...i am just so fucking hate this place.By the way, you can see the unique device only here in wooster which is a warning device when you cross the road, it says"cross street with caution, vehicle may not stop" if you press the button on it. What a invention

The class is not as good as i think, yeah we do have some cool professor, maybe i am unlucky, i took some really shitty classes.

I am transferring away from this shithole, yeah wooster changed my life and turned into a total idiot right now as you can see.
