 | Quite Bright | I got a fair number of acceptance letters from a pretty wide variety of schools. But OWU met my criteria the best--it's a small school with great people, challenging work, and awesome professors. I'm almost always excited to go to class. The student body is wonderful. It's very diverse, about 10% of students are international, and almost everyone is friendly and inviting. The faculty are great. Everyone has an open door. There's not a whole lot to do in town, but Columbus isn't far away, and honestly, you don't need to go off campus much. There's plenty to do. I love OWU, think it's a great school, and wouldn't want to go anywhere else. | Faculty Accessibility: A+, Campus Maintenance: B- | | | |

| Super Brilliant | Aa a rising sophomore, the best advice that I can give is to visit the campuses of colleges to which you are applying. I got in to many east coast schools, but found that I would not be able to learn in such a superficiallycompetitive atmosphere. Ohio Wesleyan's academics are rigorous and most of my friends are pretty involved in ECs and social and literary clubs. Retention is not as bad as someone posted. About 15% leave after the first year but mostly because they want to go to bigger schools than OWU and because they find the academics too challenging, especially in the sciences. Frats are here but not so prevalent. Last year about 25% of the student population was Greek and the administration is not in love with fraternities. A few lost their houses and the two that replaced them are alcohol-free fraternities of mostly honors students. The school's academics are excellent but Delaware is sometimes a little boring. | Faculty Accessibility: A+, Campus Aesthetics: B+ | | | |

| Quite Bright | OWU is a great school. The previous poster is a liar. Only 10% to 15% transfer after the first year and usually it happens because they can not handle the academic load. Truth be told, Ohio Wesleyan is not an easy school! This OWU's best asset: its curriculum which is hard but correspondingly rewarding. This, however, should be a good thing. If you are a serious student, if you like diversity and would like to get a liberal arts education, then seriously consider it. Also, the previous poster was right...nobody ever goes to a good grad school. That's why I was accepted by all grad schools and now attend Princeton University for my PhD. Feel free to contact me (there is a link that will prompt you to send me an email) if you want to check that I am real alumnus. I am certainly not an Admissions person. :) | Education Quality: A+, Friendliness: B+ | | | |
