As an alumnus of Wesleyan from the 1990s, I highly recommend Ohio Wesleyan to prospective students. Ohio Wesleyan University is in all things personal. If you want to be anonymous, OWU is not the place for you. If, on the other hand, you're interested in finding a place where you can settle down and get comfortable for four years, Ohio Wesleyan is the place for you.Size MattersAt just under 1900 students, OWU forms a genuine community where almost everyone knows, or at least knows about, everyone else. The students almost all live on campus, and those who don't live within a mile of it. The town of Delaware (they call it a "city" in Ohio - isn't that endearing?) has a population of only 20,000 people, so students have the chance to be known in the larger community as well.Wesleyan's small size makes a huge difference in terms of student services. Chances are that a Wesleyan student will be familiar with the person across the desk, no matter which desk it is. Friendly conversations occur even in the most formal of situations. As a student at Ohio Wesleyan, I had chats with administrators and employees of all sorts. They remembered my face, and often my name, because they didn't have to deal with tens of thousands of others.The familiarity Wesleyan students have with the people who run the college makes it easier for everyone. Instead of following bureaucratic procedures, students ask for favors from a host of mentors. Because of the familiarity of OWU, relationships of caring are built that ensure that the job will be done right and that exceptions will be made when needed.In SumOhio Wesleyan University student services are just about as personal as they get. From cleaning crews all the way up into the administration, college employees make an extra effort to show students a kind and gentle face. The mask of The Institution is rarely to be found on the Wesleyan campus.
