And I've not led a sheltered life. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't draw on my experiences there. Did it have the social life of a U.C. Santa Barbara, the reputation of a Yale, or the hip, cosmopolitan surroundings of a Columbia? No, it did not. So what is so great about this place that you would want to spend four years of your life in the corn fields of Ohio? In short, Wooster provided a place to grow up socially, academically and intellectually that was second to none. It provided a broad, liberal arts approach to learning that left me well prepared for the challenges of business and life in general. It exposed me to people from all walks of life economically, socially and geographically, and I had already seen a lot of the world beofre attending. Most of all, Wooster is truly "a place apart". It gives you room to mature and make the transition to the real world that follows graduation all too quickly, even if you don't think you need it.Though many of the professors I had such as Win Logan, Richard Reimer and John Gates have long since retired, I can attest to having some of the best professors and classroom experiences a student could hope for. They made methink outside the box, long before anybody thought up the cliche. Whats more, classroom experiences and professors compared very favorably to those of a major West Coast research institution I would attend for my post-gradutate work.If you are looking for a party school, forget it. Hoping for a hot club scene or fine arts experience in the surrounding city? Don't even think about it. Hoping to impress friends and employers by dropping the name of the impressive Ivy League school that you attended? Don't try it.So why Wooster? Outstanding education, invaluable life skills, lifelong friendships and a great deal of fun, *if* you know how to find it. Though clearly not for everyone, it is a truly special place for those whom it works. |
