KWC is a very small friendly college. If you are looking for a school that has small class sizes, a friendly community and good relationships with the staff KWC is the school for you. My favorite part of KWC is how everyone knows and supports each other. The sports teams go and support one another, our greek life support each other and the academics support our athletics. It is one big family! Although, something that I wish to see change is the fatalities. I think having major updates in both areas of athletics and academics is needed for this college.
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.
Kentucky Wesleyan is a good college for locals to go to, but there is a lot that needs to be improved. Updating dorm rooms is a must, but overall this campus is very accepting of everyone's differences. Since it is a small campus, it's easy to make friends, but if you are looking for the bigger college experience, then this place might not be the best one. This college also prioritizes religion, so if you are not the most religious person, this is your warning about that matter.
