I will start with the good things about wilson.
Good things:
-small campus: doesn't take long to get to class or back to your dorm.
-not a party school: I like to party but it's nice to not be in a party school because it's easier to focus.-classes: they are not easy! So you're not wasting your money on that part of the college.
- some faculty: are very nice and helpful. They actually care about you.
Beautiful campus: it's a really pretty area and it doesn't look run down.
Now on to the bad things about Wilson.
Bad things:
-DRAMA: all girls school. If you can avoid going to a all girls school, definitely avoid it. The girls here are extremely immature and bored with their lives. They want to know everything about you and there are a lot of cliches. I stay out of them and do what I want, a lot of girls don't like me for that reason because I refuse to give into their bullshit. -Food: they feed you early here. So if you plan on coming here be ready to eat cereal,ice cream, or salad for weeks because some of the food here is not cooked well. -disorganized: the school tries to throw things together but it is not organized. You will have to ask around to get information out of people. It shouldn't have to be that way. -parking: if you bring a car and live in lenfest(Mac/dav) be prepared to park all the way by disert because there's not enough parking spots. - rules: no one follows them. People get pissed off when people steal their stuff. If you didn't want your stuff stolen, why would you leave it in the common room. And when we have hall meetings and problems are bought up but no one takes the effort to change them. People put your wet clothes on top of the washing machine,they will leave their hair in the shower, and their dirty dishes in the sink. It's like living with animals. No cameras: the only cameras on campus are in the science building,in front watching the green, and by the piano on lenfest. That's it. If any issues happen where people try to break in or destroy something,guess who's getting fined? Everyone because the school is too cheap to buy cameras. It's ridiculous.If I knew that Wilson was going to be this stressful and dramatic I would have never came here. A word of advice, do not come here unless you can deal with the drama and get a good education my hat comes off to you. | Education Quality: A, University Resource Use: F | | | |

| Super Brilliant | | Start with the tour: Ignore everything they say. They'll say anything to get you in here and the sad fact is that if you don't have it in writing: it's not legit. I asked these specific questions: Is there alot of issues or drama between the moms in the WWC?
Answer: no! they're like sisters.
Real life: sisters fight. alot!
Do you have special programs that my daughter and I can participate in to study abroad?
Answer: yes! and funding for that as well!
Real Life: I wasn't offered one "fundable" opportunity and graduated sans study abroad experience. Are the advisors helpful? Available? What about the faculty?
Answer: yes! they're so helpful and involved in your education.
Real life: You will need to camp outside their office because the advisors take luxury trips and are rarely there and the faculty hate this place as much as you do and avoid emails, phone calls, and being available. It's high school all over again: clicks (horse people, vet people, bio people, writers, geeks, drama kids, teachers pets, jocks, etc), constant drama and tension between students. Administration offices: won't do anything. forget enforcing the rules. You have to stay on top of the business and financial aid office because they don't have their "stuff" together half the time. Registrar doesn't wanna deal with you wanting to go abroad or create special majors- they want you to just pick four classes and forget about all the "opportunities" the admissions tour guide promised. The cafeteria: total waste of your required meal plan. The pool: closed. The coffeehouse: closed. Pretty landscaping hides the reality of this place. The president and her crew are more focused on themselves and a few LUCKY students who find favor in the right people's eyes. This is a liberal arts college and they've let their primary art building go to waste as it drips, leaks, creaks, and doesn't have upgraded equipment. Right next door is a multi-million dollar science building that has 'eco-friendly' toilets. Flush up for pee and down for poo. Really? And you couldn't spare the art building some heat and a.c.? The WWC program: run. Run far away! This program sounds too good to be true: it is. The facilities you live in have no a.c., there was a devastating flood after I graduated while moms and children were asleep in their beds (maintenance didn't keep up on the pipes), the day care center is a bunch of freshly graduated teens and 'incidents' happen ALOT, you will also be told how/what/when/where you can do anything. It's a catch 22- no freedom. They're constantly watching everything you do, fining for stupid stuff like one mom not cleaning up so EVERYONE gets fined, gossip rampant, most of these moms are here because they can't make it in the real world, few that are actually using this as a 2nd shot at college. You have to park so far away from the actual building. Shared space sounds fun- until people start stealing food and using your dishes. As far as Staff goes- the director(s) will not back you up on anything. There is the Honor Principal and the WWC- which are all ignored. If you raise an issue- you're get your hand slapped for making waves. In an instant this place changes from a lifesaver in this harsh money driven world and becomes a prison that costs $40,000.Keep looking. This college is $40K of your money. Find a better place to invest that money- you won't regret it. | Campus Aesthetics: A, Collaboration/Competitive: F | | | |

| Bright | | If you are looking for an equine degree this is not the school for you. It is over priced for the lack of experience it offers. There is little to no advanced horses for riders to better their riding skills if advanced. We do not have any horses that can take a rider passed a second level dressage test and we are lucky if there is one or two that can do a first level. The school does not support the riding teams and many times, they struggle to fund raise enough money to pay the trainer. The food in the cafeteria is horrible I find myself making a second dinner many nights and the school makes it mandatory that every on campus student have a meal plan (a waste of over 1,000 dollars a sem.). In addition, if students do not pay enough to go to Wilson we now have to pay for our own cable. I have had to complain a number of times that I do not have heat because they do not fix the problem the first ten times. The internet on campus is slower then dial up at times and there is not wireless in the dorm rooms. I would highly recommend that if you are interested in Wilson that you talk to some students on campus and not buy into the sales pitch on the tour of campus. The only reason I have stayed the four years is because a lot of the credits will not transfer to other school and I did not want to be in school for six years for a BS in Equine Sciene | Individual Value: B+, Social Life: F | | | |
