Virginia Wesleyan College Top Questions

It is smaller in size. There is no one program that totally overshadows another, for instance football. It's hard not to get to get to know people because you see the same people so often.

the classes are small which I like compared to other colleges. you have more one on one with your professors.

The most unique quality about Virginia Wesleyan College is the astonishing school spirit displayed within such a small campus. Our campus is a community, a family of scholars and educators determined to accomplish great things. Our college motto is "Bring a spark. Light a fire." Here at Virginia Wesleyan College we celebrate the potential in all of our students. Every individual on campus has something unique and precious to add to our family. We can build close and lasting relationships, not only with our peers, but also with professors, staff, and the surrounding community.

There is a very friendly atmosphere; all the facutly and staff are super nice and say hello to you. Also, we have great traditions like painting adirondack chairs at orientation and A Weskeyan Christmas.

At Virginia Wesleyan College each student is known by name. Each teacher knows what my major is, knows my likes and dislikes and even knows my previous educational background. Additional help, mentoring, tutouring, advice and information is available around the clock. Everyone including student member staff is always willing to give their time to help you with whatever it is you need. I have been to four other colleges and none of them compare to Virignia Wesleyan. I will be attending for the next 2.5 years because I know I am getting every penny's worth.

My school has amazing parking. You can park right in front of your building and walk right in. It is a smaller school so parking is not an issue which is so nice. Also, my largest class has 15 students. I think that is wonderful because I like the close-nit feeling you get from VWC. Virginia Wesleyan faculty and staff also go out of their way to make sure that every question you have is answered and that you have a positive experience. When registering for classes, you never have to worry about a class being too full.

Small classes with professors that are good and care about the students

You are completely controlled, you cant have guest without getting approval, you have to live on campus and they can search or enter into any of your things, car, dorm, bags, apartments, lockers etc.

Because it is a small campus and a close knit community, everyone is extremely close to one another and it is easy to feel at home. There are a variety of off campus opportunities and attractions very close to campus, providing a great social outlet outside of academics. The professors also are very amiable about helping students and so overall, Virginia Wesleyan College is a great, well-rounded school.

What is so unique about my school in my personal opinion is how they have a program that caters to adults. I found it very difficult when I looked at other colleges in virginia that had a curriculum that caters to adults that are trying to achieve a higher education. Once I found and heard about the adult studies program at Virginia Wesleyan, I was very impressed at how they had classes and office hours that met my needs so that I could continue my education.

My school is unique because it is made up of mostly athletes or greek students. The majority of the students participate on an athletic team thus their is no discrimination about the intelligence of athletes. However, due to the small size of this school, if a person does not belong to either a sports team or greek organization they will find it extremely hard to find their place here. The clique centered aspect of this school has caused numerous tranfers. This school also holds a transfer rate above 50{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} which shows some aspect of this school needs to change.

because of its size, it takes a student with drive to succeed at Wesleyan. Things are handed to you however, the next step all depends on the student and where they want to take their college career.

I found that VWC was the right campus for me. The professors were helpful and concerned about every student; they made time to see and talk to students. The campus is smaller so you can see a friendly face. I attended another 4 year school before this one and when I went to a professor for help in the class for the second time he said, "Why are you here?, why don't you just go to .. where you can be a number" as a young student that made a negative impact. You will not find that at VWC, EVER!

There's such a big emphasis on community here. Everyone staff, proffessors are friendly and the campus is beautiful.

Even though it is located in an urban setting, the school setting does not reflect it. You have a hard time imagining that a simple 5-minute drive yields a bustling shopping center with all the amendities.

It's still a new school.

how small it is.....it would be better if they fixed it up and thought about the students......THERE IS NOTHING TO DO......NO GOOD ACTIVITIES AND ITS NOT A GOOD COLLEGE EXPERIENCE.....MANY OF THE PEOPLE THAT CAME LAST YEAR TRANSFERED BECUASE THEY HATED THE SCHOOL......IF THINGS DONT CHANGE IT SHOULD BE SHUT DOWN
