I am a first year. Some people have the incorrect notion that Ohio Wesleyan is a place for Ivy New England rejects. I don't think that's accurate. It may share a lot of applicants with the Ivies (as the PR site suggests), but that's about where the similarity ends. While Ohio Wesleyan's high selectivity in admissions, productive faculty, and superb library justify its reputation as one of the best small liberal arts schools in the nationa in most certainly in the Midwest, it has come a long way from its Methodist origins. Indeed, Ohio Wesleyan has become a shrine of modern academic fads such as multiculturalism, racial and gender preferences, political correctness (ProgressOWU) and gender studies. The university offers many fine courses taught by dedicated professors to small groups of students, many of them extremely bright and educated at one of the best PhD Programs in the nation. Although a largely pristine education in the classics can still be found in several of Ohio Wesleyan's academic programs, the leftist political atmosphere is likely to make most conservative, moderate, or non-political students uncomfortable. Departments and programs with a large number of politicized courses include African-American studies, Politics and Government and women's studies. The Deparment of Humanities, an interdisciplinary program that offers a collection of the most politicized courses from departments across campus, is also a magnet for the propagation of Marxism and feminism.
