I got into Wheaton College, and was very excited b/c it’s a great Christian school. But when it came to my decision I didn't want to come here, but my parents made me come. I am from a large public high school, and while expecting to leave my high school experience to the best 4 years of my life, I found myself stuck in a reality of 4 years that isn’t even close to my best four years. Classes are very hard unless you get a select few teachers. It’s very cut throat, as most students were the top of their high school class. One of the things about this school that pisses me off the most is the fact that it’s so strict, and so boring. Girls and Guys aren't allowed on each others floors expect for 2 days a week from 7-10, which I find to be ridiculous. The relationship between Guys and Girls here as a result is very awkward and childish in my opinion. Also, yeah there is no drinking here unlike almost every other school in the nation, but the problem here is there nothing else to do to make up for the fact that you cant drink. So pretty much this school is one of the most boring schools in the world! That’s not even over exaggerating. Unless you enjoy watching movies in your room with either all guys or all girls every weekend. I am planning on transferring to another school, because the boredom here is eating me alive. I NEED A DRINK! Never craved alcohol until coming to Wheaton, b/c at least when you drink stupid things are fun. Very depressing school. Yeah-great academics, but no fun. So if you were to ask me if you should come or not I would say no, but hey you don’t have to believe me.

If your an alcoholic then why are you considering a christian college. And college isn't supposed to be just about having fun.

You must not be very old . . very childish comments

Your review is pathetic…your profile says bright…I really doubt that…you could find nothing there to do but think about drinking? You don't go to a Christian College to drink, or hang out in the dorms of the opposite sex, you go to learn how to serve a purpose bigger than yourself you selfish jerk…

Your village called…they said their idiot is missing…

Hey! Just want to give you a response that isn't angry, because that is a pretty poor representation of "Christ and His Kingdom", right? Basically, Wheaton isn't for everybody, there are reasons for closed floors, and there are definitely reasons for the alcohol policy. While it's not a perfect system, by any means, it is for someone who at least is ready for that. You are warned about the covenant, so that should be a factor in your decision to go, especially if it breaks the system for you. And it's only so boring if can't find friends, or want a more urban/party experience. It is a school in the suburbs, it is not a party school, but it is not the most boring school in the world. Especially once you are able to find your friends, even if it takes time. Sorry you were forced to go! That is the worst.
