Wesleyan University Top Questions

Wesleyan is a community of well-rounded individuals who are all dedicated to serving the greater community. While some may say that a liberal arts eductaion is worthless, wesleyan defies any such claims. Wesleyan offers a wide variety of classes, but what really distinguishes Wesleyan from other schools I considered is the quality of the poeple--everyone here at Wesleyan is motivated, open-minded, diverse in his/her own way, and ready to tackle the challenges of academics while still allowing time to have fun and serve the Middletown community through tutoring or over a hundred other volunteer programs.

Wesleyan University is unique in its strong emphasis of a progressive agenda that includes a student body that declares education beyond the classroom.

Wesleyan is very liberal and you will get to see gay/lesbian/queer students. You can also experience gender-neutral bathrooms, and Bend-It at Beckham (cross-dressing dance night(?) during orientation). There are many opportunities to do ANYTHING you want. You can roll down Foss-Hill which is a great experience. There are many great things about Wesleyan and I don't want to spoil anything so what else can I say, but come visit and see for yourself!

It has a small liberal campus with high quality professors and diverse extra-curriculars.

Freshman year can be rough. Co-ed dorms are a strange adjustment, and can be VERY distracting. I would recommend having a roommate freshman year, but not two, and not zero. I would also recommend living in a single-sex dorm. But if you can handle social distractions and still get all your work done, power to you! Live wherever you want.

The people who go here and the atmosphere.

This was my first choice school, and I applied ED. I would say though, that the general feel on campus is much more liberal and friendly than the other school I was considering.

The unique classes, intelligent professors, hipsters, the history of the school, and how liberal it is. Also Wesleyan is known for being very cutting edge.

It's very liberal and it's in a small town.

Wesleyan is a little utopia that accepts all differences and points of view. Any person could find a place here.
