The friendships I’ve made here are unlike any other. I’m so great full for my friends and the community here. I really does feel like a home away from home. I’d like to see some changes in the dorms, they are not the best. Also I’d like to see some changes in the cafe food, especially for those who want to lead a healthier lifestyle like me. Also it would be awesome if there were more activities for students to get involved in. Overall its a great school, it just need some improvements in Some areas.
My education was absolutely relevant to what I wanted to do after I graduated. So instead of graduating with a list of classes, I graduated with a list of experiences that helped me get a great job right away. It is a small, but filled with opportunities!
Dakota Wesleyan University is an amazing college. It's a smaller school, but a great environment. Professors have stronger bonds with students and its an environment where everybody knows everybody.
