Virginia Wesleyan College Top Questions

It was over 2 hours away from my home.

I think that Virginia Wesleyan College is unique among other schools because it is compact and every teacher knows you by name. Plus, you don't have to worry about being just another student in a class and there are a small amount of students in each class, so the professor can focus on each one of you individually.

Most of the people here are genuine and when the weather is warm the campus is beautiful

Compared to other schools, Virginia Wesleyan is a rather small private college. In being a small school, the students are able to focus better in classes because each class typically has no more than thirteen students per one professor. There is always something to do on campus, Wesleyan provides for it's students a wonderful recreation program in which students are given all the tools necessary to explore all eighty beautiful acres on campus, thus encouraging students to get outside and be active. Thesee are a few things that set Wesleyan apart from other schools.

Even though this is a small school, there is a huge sense of community on campus. It starts during freshman orientation when you are split into groups and told to paint a chair. This chair stays on campus all four years you are here. It is always nice to go around and try to find the chair you painted and study in it. Working together to work on projects and then seeing them around really builds a sense of community.

This campus is unique in that it is so small that there is the specific one on one attention with the professors and the students. There is also ample time for students to be able to meet with the professors outside of the class, such as in the grille or the cafeteria.

The size is definitely different, but it is also the only private school around. It is also a very liberal school.

Small classes allow for students to pay better attention.

Virginia Wesleayn College is unique becuase we are known for our small community and class sizes. Even though we are small, it is easy to find friends that have your same values and beliefs. Everyone is friendly and open minded here which creates a very peaceful atmosphere.

I chose Virginia Wesleyan for many reasons. One reason was because it's close to home so I'm able to save money, but more importantly I'm able to spend time with my parents and three younger siblings. Another reason was because it has a varsity volleyball team. I played freshman and sophmore year, but had to quit playing because I work two jobs. The last reason was because of the small population size and number of students in the classes. I like the small classes because the teachers know your name and are able to provide individualized attention.
