The Wesleyan brochure is very pretty and so is the campus - they leave out alot though too… they don't tell you that there is a railroad track around the back of campus by the freshmen & senior dorms that has trains running 6-8 times/day …or the 24 hour sawmill that runs behind the freshman dorms. Wesleyan "guarantees" housing for full-time students and you have to be "allowed" to live off campus - however, it is common to not have a housing assignment until the day you move on campus, be a junior stuck in freshmen dorms or get a suite and then be told your living room is going to be converted into a dorm room. The academics are good - but the administration will drive you insane. Lots of red tape & closed doors. Also they mislead campus security reports—Ex: Rapes are very common, especially at frats, but the school, though recognizing frats, does not have to include crimes that occur there in their crime statistics. They also do not report rapes that the victim does not prosecute - which accounts for 90% … very misleading.
