TO THE LAST POSTER: Like some of the posts below? You mean your own?

TO ALL PROSPECTIVE STUDENTS: The majority of negative posts on here are written by someone who who does not go to Ohio Wesleyan University. The person is so stupid that he can not even get his story straight. You can see in his last post (unless it gets deleted by the moderators and I hope it does) that he indicated that he is a 3rd year male, yet he wrote in past tense as if he were an alumnus. How STUPID!

ALSO, you can pretty much figure out that this person does not go to Ohio Wesleyan University because nothing specific is every mentioned. Why don't you tell us in which course you thought the quality of teaching was bad? Like English 105? Like English 105 with Steinitz or Hipsky? Mention specific details and try to back them up if really want to be persuasive. Otherwise you are REALLY wasting your time by posting negative comments here because all prospecitve students will be smarter than you and because they have eyes and ears when they visit Wesleyan.

MY OWN OPINION ABOUT OHIO WESLEYAN:

I'm finishing my junior year at Ohio Wesleyan University, but I've been at this school for as long as I can remember. My father graduated in 1958, and I have two brothers that graduated in 1988 and 1992. To be honest, when I was applying to schools during my senior year in high school, I was sure that I wouldn't end up here. Ohio Wesleyan is a small school, with only about 2000 undergraduate students, it's location is very suburban, situated in central Ohio, but most important to me at the time, Ohio Wesleyan was in the Midwest. Deadlines for applications rolled around, and so did the acceptance letters, shortly thereafter. I was accepted to several schools, ranging from West coast to the East coast… small schools and huge schools alike. I pretty much had my choice of whatever general type of school I wanted, large/small, rural/urban. One by one, as I visited schools and spoke to students at Stanford, Pomona, UWisconsin, UMichigan, Northwestern, Princeton, among others, I found out that I being smack-dab in the middle of a city wasn't what I wanted…that I was just going to get lost in a school of many thousands, that the West coast that Mtv portrays isn't necessarily the reality; Essentially, that Ohio Wesleyan was the place for me.

I think that's a very important thing to understand for a student looking to go to college, and something that he/she could never pick up from anything someone else says. Each of us has to figure out for ourselves what type of life we want to live, where we want to live it, and how. But, as far as recommendations go, Ohio Wesleyan is a unique place. The professors here are all, every one, brilliant. Delaware is a beautifully peaceful place to live, and attending a small school is an opportunity to be known and to get to know more people than one could at a larger institution. As to whether Ohio Wesleyan is a place for you? That's something that no one could ever tell any other person. It's just something you have to feel through and figure out by yourself. As it stands now, Ohio Wesleyan is one of the top liberal arts schools in the nation. Ohio Wesleyan is what we call, a little secret in the academic world. The location, size, and course offerings easily filter out the kinds of people that don't want to be here, and those that don't belong. I really wanted a unique and life changing experience, both inside and outside the classrooom…and Wesleyan was the place for me. Is it the place for you? Come see for yourself! If nothing else, there's Columbus (30 min away) and Pittsburgh (3 hours away), not to mention all the great aspects of the campus itself. Come see!
