Do not attend William Jewell.The school can be summed up as a terrible school with a great advertising division.The academics are fairly good, despite being a smaller school its relatively well known. Most of the professors are available and willing to help when you have questions.Social life on campus isn't to bad. It is highly organized around greek life, however the fraternities and sororities are vastly different from those of larger schools. Unfortunately many of the students, particularly those involved in the "esteemed" oxbrigde program tend to be somewhat elitist, however if you can get past that issue most of the student body is pretty nice.The real issue with the school is in the management. Student affairs is often indifferent to student concerns. The head of student affairs has even been put on probation for sending threatening emails to students. In addition, WJC does not currently have a student bill of rights, meaning that in the event of a dispute between a student and the college the college has omnipotence and can essentially do whatever they want without due process. Several such incidents have already taken place with the head of student affairs threatening students with punishment for exercising their right to remain silent or conducting illegal searches of rooms without probable cause.Residence life is terrible, the dorms are old and poorly maintained, especially considering the price tag of the school. The cafeteria food is unhealthy and tastes terrible, vegetarian options are usually poor and meals can only be eaten at certain times of day. There is a smaller, fast food restaurant style cafeteria which accepts "points". However they have a small selection consisting mainly of deep fried foods. Finally, security seems to spend the majority of its time harassing students and issuing parking tickets instead of making the campus safe.To top all of this off Jewell is prohibitively expensive. The tuition keeps increasing and the quality of student life continues to go down hill. Most students are unable to transfer as the majority of classes are designed to transfer only as electives, essentially forcing you to stay at Jewell until you graduate.In short, the management is hostile and incompetent, the quality of life is low, and the school is very expensive. Do not come to William Jewell College.
