Ohio Wesleyan has very small class sizes and the professors really engage with their students.

We have one of the best D3 men's soccer programs in the country.

I think something that is unique is the student population, not only is it very small (just under 2,000), but it is also very diverse. And i think thats great, because there is not one stereotypical OWU student.

Great professor attention. They want you to do well, but are not going to make it a piece of cake. Very academically rigorous for the better. Hands on experience that students at large universities would not get.

Definitely the friendliness of the people there. Everyone was really nice when I went to visit and seemed to care about whether I enjoyed myself. There's also a big emphasis on practical uses of whatever it is you're learning. You're not just learning to just a requirement out of the way, you're learning in order to take it along with you and apply to whatever you ultimately decide to do.

Strong diversity. My roommate freshman year is from Egypt! If I didn't pick Ohio Wesleyan, I never would have had a best friend from South Africa, or get to eat traditional Vietnamese food on a weekly basis.

how culturally diverse it is. there are a lot of international students in such a small school but it allows you to learn about people from around the world and you dont have to be from a foreign country to become friends with people who are.

Research opportunities are available to students beginning in their freshman year of college. Students have the opportunity to design and conduct their own research projects early on. OWU is very involved in community service as well. There are spring break mission trips to all different parts of the world to complete service projects.

Great facilities and decent staff. good teacher/student ratios.

professors are available to help and answer any questions.

Large variesty of ethnicities. People who have many different beliefs and opinions which helps you to get the most out of your time here at OWU

The small living units, (SLUs), the special interest student housing at OWU is unique in that it's organized primarily by the groups of students who gather in university owned houses, (of various sorts, but all fairly old), to live and organize events and projects.

There is a lot of diversity, everyone is very helpful and there are a lot of active societies and extra-credit activities.

The academic side of campus is separate from the residental side which is a nice separation between home/school. The students are involved and friendly. We have an SEM (scanning electron microscope) which is rare for the use of undergraduate students.

Small living units, themed housing

My school is a good size and it is easy to have a one on one relationship with professors in order to gain extra knowledge.

The neighborhood was better

it has a strong women's lacrosse program and actually offers zoology as a major not just a concentration.
