Obviously a strong school academically. The small class sizes are nice, and all the professors are accessible outside of class to help you. I thought there was a nice variety of classes offered. However, part of the college experience is the social life. The nightlife/social life at Wesleyan is unchanging and boring. Greek life is huge, and if you do not plan to join a frat or sorority don't expect to have anything to do. All of the students are very similar (wealthy, from the suburbs, somewhat spoiled). The term "Wesleyan Bubble" relly describes the school accurately. Students end up going to the same parties, seeing the same people, and never open up their minds to all that is out there. It has the possibility to be a sheltered and stagnant four years that won't expose you to the real world what so ever.
