I went to this school thinking I was going to grow not only as a student but spiritually as well and this school did not offer that. There are Frat parties almost everynight and don't even get me started on what "Wesleyan Wednesday's" are all about. Don't get me wrong there are strong Christian students here but can be hard to find. This school shouldn't even be using the name Wesleyan in their name. If Charles Wesley knew what was going on in this school he'd be rolling around in his grave asking God to forgive each and everyone of the students AND professors who bash the name of Christ everyday on this campis Most of the professors here are very VERY liberal, some cuss in class and others just rant on and on about nothing. They recently converted almost every dorm except for two into coed dorms because they wanted a higher "retention rate' which is just bologna. All they want is your money and will except anyone and everyone who is somewhat interested in this institution. People have sex all the time in the dorms and if you try "C-blocking" any of them, they'll make your life miserable. Although I didn't have that great of an experience, I can tell you that some of the professors were very helpful and flexible with all of the students. Just don't take advantage of it. All in all, this school was definitely not where God wanted me to be the rest of my college career. He did bless me with some amazing friends that helped me with my walk with Christ and I couldn't ask him for anything better. After a lot of prayer I decided to transfer and it was the best decision I could have ever made. Please consider all of these factors listed above before committing your life, time and MONEY to this college.

Yes, wesleyans academics are passable in several majors, but by and large their programs will not all prepare you to work in the real world because of two reasons. 1) Extremely unrigorous academics. This place has the easiest checksheets I have ever seen. There were only 59 hours required to attain my major, and the other 61 comes from go knows where. 2) Wesleyan faculty and administration have perfected the art of treating every student like a middleschooler with no freedoms or liberties in anything, and I mean anything. They have engineered the system to the point that when you finish or leave, you will think to yourself, "holy f#%*, I did absolutely nothing pertaining to real life, just sat at my dorm, went out to the lamest fraternities this side of the Mississippi, and (occasionally) went to class.

If you enjoy being treated like a fifth grader and having everything placed(forced, really) in front of you, then by all means go ahead! But if you have any originality or desire to be unique then avoid this place like the plague.

Throughout your 4/5 years here, you will be charged exponentially more than the college is worth. The food is honestly the worst college cafeteria dining I have ever experienced. Also, you are Required to live in the god awful shanteys they call standard housing. Now mind you, should you have an extra 5k a year to throw at these money grabbing pigs, you may find yourself in a room that is on par with a motel 8. Expect tuition raises in the 4% range, and every year a new $300-$500 'technology fee' or 'academic services fee' to appear on you're already astronomical bill.Folks, in all reality you don't go to/enjoy a college for it's academics or ascetics, that comes from the overall experience created outside the classroom. And in wesleyans case, many nursing homes have a more stimulating and exciting environment than this lousy excuse for secondary education.

If you want things to do, and are not sure what major you want do not go here. There are not very many choices of majors and barley and graduate programs. Plus the dorms are beyond disgusting.
