Wabash College Top Questions

The size and it being all male.

The fact that Wabash College is one of the last four all-male colleges in the United States.

Wabash Always Fights!

Wabash College is an excellent school for men, and it certainly isn't for everybody. But, I cannot not articulate how this college has changed my life; it truly is amazing, and I think our nation needs to wake up and see the importance of all-male education at the college. The tendency is to always brand all-male schools as chauvanists and sexists institutions because they don't admit women, but if we are using the same superficial standards to judge all-male schools we can make the same assumptions about all-female schools--they're sexists also based off the same principles. But I digress, all-male education is fading in the United States, and Wabash is an excellent example of an institution that sticks to its traditions and history to educate men. Men need institutions like Wabash in today's world so they can be challenged and then succeed in the world. Just look at the numbers, there are 70 all-female institutions to 4 all-male insitutions in the nation; when I think of these numbers, I think of my education and success so far at Wabash, and I wonder why there aren't anymore all-male schools. Wabash has given me so much in two short years, and I think every young man should have the benefit of what I have recieved from this great insitution. I love Wabash, and I think it should be used as a model for more all-male insitutions to be established in the United States.

It is all about heart at Wabash. You will be challenged beyond anything you could ever expect if you jump in feet first as a freshman, but the rewards are great and you will be respected for living the traditions of generations before you. Long in our hearts we will bear the sweetest memories of thee, Old Wabash.

The best professors manage to create lasting relationships with their students because of the way that they spend time with students, both inside and outside of the calssroom. Professors like David Blix, Bill Placher, Jeremy Hartnett, Brian Tucker, and staff members like Jim Amidon, Brent Harris, Steve Charles, Scott Crawford, Betsy Knott, Kyle Dunaway, and John Weitz (to name only a few) make the effort to know their students and as a result continue to make what makes Wabash great: community.

When you come to Wabash you join a tradition that has existed since Wabash opened its doors in 1832. That tradition lasts after you graduate, so strongly that the students have nicknamed the alumni network as the 'Wabash Mafia'.

I would like to acknowledge the excellent alumni of Wabash College. I would be shocked to find an alumni network more extensive than our own. Wabash creates a bond that students and alumni alike feel. It connects everyone and this bond makes you forever loyal to her hollowed name.

There isn't a single place that I would have rather gone to school.
