This is the friendliest, most family oriented place I've ever been to: When talking to other colleges, I felt like just another face, but with Kentucky Wesleyan, they made it feel like I was already apart of the family. They remembered my name after one visit, contacted me regularly, helped me with financial aid, and even did everything they could to help me with a smooth transition from high school into college. I always feel safe. They have great sports and arts programs. The professors are very kind and love to help their students. The food service is fantastic; they have a great staff. It's a clean and beautiful campus. The campus ministries program is fantastic. Chapel is a truly enjoyable service, and their pastor is amazing! They have great fraternities and sororities. They have lots of fun student activities. They allow their students to be as involved as possible. They offer plenty of on-campus jobs, and they do everything they can to help find outside jobs and internships.
I like the faculty and staff at the college, along with the diversity of the campus and the generous financial aid packages that they offer. They want students to succeed and constantly contact us about jobs, internships, and campus activities going on. The teachers want us to succeed and make an effort to ensure everyone understands the subjects.
Kentucky Wesleyan College is a small but diverse institution in Owensboro, Kentucky. It offers a wide selection of majors, minors, and courses for students of all interests. The faculty and staff are excellent, and the only complaint I have is the price. KWC is a very expensive school, averaging at roughly $20,000-$30,000 per year.
