Major: Engineering Department (This Major's Salary over time)
IWU (Marion campus) is a great university to grow deeper in Christ and form healthy peer relationships. Chapel can be a very uplifting experience 3x a week for those who seek its purpose. The campus is always dressed up and looking beautiful, no matter the season or semester.

The general education core classes are designed to challenge incoming students right from the start. Expect to be challenged with a heavy workload during the first couple of semesters. World Literature is a great class, especially if you take the right professor (Esh). Make sure you check into your major, some only "appear" to be strong here.

Word of advice: this is an extremely small campus (5-10 min walk) and student body. Some students are very welcoming and friendly, but many are heavily judgemental. Be aware, keep your guard up, and don't open up to those you don't completely trust. IWU is a Christian campus, but it sure isn't perfect … rumors spread like wildfires here.

The administration is the only eyesore at IWU. They are very stubborn in handling transfer credits (if you're smart, you'll come right out of HS—DO NOT transfer!). In addition, there is an overwhelming tradition of

thinking inside the (Wesleyan) box.
New ideas are not always appreciated or welcome, even if it's merely a request for a student-led worship gathering.

Marion is not a very nice city, there are parts that are increasingly dangerous, but FT Wayne and Indianapolis are nearby. IWU is a great choice if you desire immense spiritual growth along with a strong program (college is about academics, too).
