Wilson College campus every time I have visited feels like a bigger extension of my family and can not wait till I begin my college career in 2020. The softball team is amazing and so supportive of each other. The faculty and other members of Wilson College have been very friendly and full of positive and appropriate information.

I really love the class sizes at Wilson. I also enjoy how small campus is because everyone is in a community. I like how professors actually care about their students. I am not a huge fan of the food in the dinning hall, but it is not awful. The dorms are pretty good unless you live in Disert Hall. They had water problems, heat problems, and it is the only dorm that has not been updated.

LOVE WILSON!!!! Wilson is a very acedemic and fun school. I have visited Wilson a few times and loved the experience. The professors for my intended major met with me and answered all of my questions. Absolutely beautiful campus. I can't say enough about it.

Wilson College is a wonderful school for students who enjoy a small campus. The campus is surrounded by wonderful people and nature. The academics are difficult but very rewarding for your education. The professors and faculty are wonderful people who actually care about their students.

Wilson College is filled with all kinds of students, and many different activities for them to participate in. The classes are engaging, and small enough that the professors often have one-on-one relationships with all of their students. It's impossible to go anywhere on campus without seeing a friendly face, and there's always someone willing to help in that class you really need to get an A in.

My overall opinion of the Wonderful Wilson College, as you can see by my intricate renaming of my college, is that it is absolutely amazing. I had the wonderful opportunity to get an early taste of residential life and academic life during Wilson College's first LEAP program. There are no cons to the campus and what lies within or outside of the campus. The campus is beautiful and very scenic with a creek, open fields a gorgeous green grass, a farm, and a nature trail. The college is also right around the corner from the beautiful downtown Chambersburg! Now for academics, the same can be said! Wilson College offers a vast amount of majors and minors anyone could be interested in. The professors show they care for students and push them for excellence. Outside of classrooms and projects, the campus has so many clubs and activities you can never say you're bored and have nothing to do; it is impossible! From dance groups where you can create and showcase your own choreography to even creating your own art club - the possibilities are endless. Ideas at Wilson College are always welcomed and appreciated and if they're radical enough, your idea will definitely come to life! There's nothing better than the vast amount of support systems at Wilson College either. Around every corner you'll have someone willing to help you no matter what your problem may be; poor grades, study habits, research papers, and the list continues! You can't get any better than Wilson. That is my opinion of my Wilson College.

Overall this is a wonderful college to attend. I wouldn't want to go anywhere else. I always feel safe and I'm not afraid to walk all over campus, even after dark. The professors are dedicated and will make time to help you. You are their number one priority. The foods not the greatest but I've had worse. There are plenty of restaurants and thing to do within walking distance. I love this college and would recommend that everyone look into it.

What should every freshman at your school know before they start?
Heather, you will strugle in college at first and drop out don't give up you time will come. It will not happen in the way youchoose but it will happen. You will have a son then 10 years later get married to the man of your dreams. Then you will be ready. I know you will strugle with depression and it will be hard. Trust me when your ready to go back you will, and you will show everybody how badly you really want to succeed. you deserve what has been long over due. You will have many hats to wear. The mother hat the Full time worker hat the student hat the wife hat, you may feel at times that this is going to take forever. Remember when mom was told that you would never do better than C or D work, well, girl your first semester at Wilson you will get a 3.65 GPA then your second semester you get a 4.0 GPA. The rest I can not tell you because I myself do not know yet I just know there are great things comming your way
What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?
I wish I knew more about animals because my major is veterinary medical technology and I find that I actually don't know much at all, but then again that's what I came to school for, to learn.
Someone who is dedicated to learning. This is a small college so if you like the feeling of family atmosphere this is the school for you. Everyone is frendily. If you like small class sizes and teachers who remember your name and care about you this is your school
What's the most frustrating thing about your school?
Sometimes it takes the school longer to get back to you about issues that you are having. There are some communication breaks and things don't quite get relayed properly.
I love the class size! (13:1) Class sizes are small and the teachers are wonderful! They really what their students to learn and will help them every step of the way!
Here's your chance: Say anything about your college!
Wilson is an all girls school and only has around 500 students. This makes it quite unique and the smallness helped me choose Wilson over other colleges. It is also one of the few schools that offers a Bachelors Degree in Veterinary Medical Technology, which is my intended major.
