Washington and Jefferson College is an institution that prides itself on providing the most rigorous academic programs by maintiaining close relationships between professors and students. The best quality W&J can give is an education that makes a student's learning oppertunities second to none, a qualitly that cannot be matched by many other institutions. It is from their ability of achieving "grade A" professors and extending learning oppertunities to outside of the classroom that highlights W&J's record of graduating students right into grad school programs or jobs in their feild.

The best thing about Washington and Jefferson is the education you are presented with. Students are granted many opportunities to grow through their learning and thrive in a business oriented area.

The best thing at W&J College is the small campus (1400 students total) and the small sized classrooms. Being that this is a small college, you get more one on one from the Professors/Doctors teaching the classes. You cannot be forgotten in these small classrooms of 14-25 students. The wrestling team is great as well.

The most impressive aspect to this school is the amount of students they send abroad to gain cultural experience. Over 70 percent go abroad before they graduate. Whether it be through Magellan Awards (a school funded research project) or semester exchange program.

It's small and the peopla here are all like one big family. Where it is located it seems like its own town-within-a-town and I love the small community feeling.

The best thing about Washington & Jeffeson College is the size of the school. It is quite small, so class sizes are at max about 30 people. This lets you get to know your professors and makes it easier to do well.

I love how much there is to get involved in at W&J, there are so many sports, clubs and activities to do. I also love the environment, the small college atmosphere is great because your really get to know your professors and you always get the help you need. Everything is so close, my farthest class only takes less than 10 minutes to walk to which comes in handy in the winter time. The food is great too, Parkhurst has so many different choices no matter what your taste is!

The clubs. There are over 20 different clubs to choose from at our school. Each club takes pride in welcoming new members, with games and ice breakers. The clubs at our school allow the students to express individuality and many times cultural awareness. The German club is a great example, they hold annual food tasting contests at the street fair and are always welcoming new members who know little or nothing about the German language or culture. This is why I believe the clubs are the best thing about W&J.

Our school offers a challenging curriculum. To be a student here, you should be honored. Here, we do not just learn the basics. We learn above and beyond and how to apply it to every day life. This college prepares us for a successful future. This is a liberal arts college; therefore, we can expand our knowledge by taking classes outside of our major. We have a close relationship with our professors. We are not just a number in the class. We are treated like scholars, each and every one of us.

W&J has a special community. For the most part, the students, faculty and staff work together to create a friendly and welcoming enviroment.
