Sort By: [Date] [Major] [Rating] PreVet and Veterinary  Major Salary, Salary Trend, Satisfaction, Unemployment Quite Bright Wilson College wasn't what I quite expected it to be. I feel as though it is much like high school here - no one really wants to make the effort to do any work. A lot of students have a "whatever", lacisdasical attitude, and that gets annoying; if you don't want to make the effort then leave. Then there are the maintenance people who are getting pissy about all of the complaints about the heating problems. The heat wouldn't be as big of a problem as it is if a)the system itself wasn't as old as it is and b) if they didn't do half-jobs - they wouldn't have to keep coming back. Then there's the dining hall. People here at Wilson preach about eating healthy, and yet we are served food that is only sometimes edible - we only eat it because we can't afford to keep going out. We are allowed to leave comments about the food - whether it is good or bad - and most comments are either ignored or responded to with scarcastic/ignorant comments. That's not all - the problems at the barns here (with the staff and borders) are really getting out of hand. The attitude portrayed by 99% of the staff is that borders should be lukcy that they can bored their horses here, yet those that say and act like that sit in their office and play games. If you're not crazy-insane about either dressage or hunt seat, you're looked down upon. The professors, that I have at least, are excellent. They really motivate me - make me want to do better. There is one thing, though, that I think hinders our learning here more than it helps, and that is: In the biology classes, it is divided up in such a way that one professor teaches one section of material and another professers teacehes another section, and they rotate. Both have very different styles of teaching, as do all teachers, but when teaching the same subject, some consistancy would be nice. Individual Value: A+, Campus Maintenance: C+ Have a Question?

The classes are no larger than a high school sized class and the teachers, professors, and staff know you by name. Varying degrees are offered and the facilities are all located directly on campus. Major drawbacks... You do not get enough for what you pay. I am paying over $32,000 per year and I feel like I am not getting what I deserve. Communication in this school is almost non-exisentent. The equestrian facilities are pleasing to the eye, however, due to lack of funding and shortness of staff, things are not run smoothly. If you were to plan on coming to Wilson, be ready for needless drama, no responses to e-mails, and non-american food in the cafeteria. There has literally been days when you will eat nothing but cereal. Perceived Campus Safety: A+, Education Quality: D- Have a Question?

You would think that bringing your horse to college with you would be great. Well it definately would be if there was a barn staff that actually did its job instead of offering lame excuses. You are treated as a high school student with no respect to the fact the you an adult now. I am glad I came only because of my new friends here. The food is rediculously horrible and a show is put on for prospective students. The process you go through to get here is great. They are friendly, informative, and make this school seem great, when behind the scenes it is horrible. If you do have a horse, keep it away from here and find another college.

But the main reason I came here was to have my horse with me. The care he is receiving is unsatisfactory and the attitude of the Barn staff, Barn manager, and Senior member of the faculty responsible for the barn, it that we should be thankful for what we get. I will not be attending next year and HIGHLY recommend that no one bring their horse with them if they go to Wilson Faculty Accessibility: A, Social Life: D Have a Question?
