Considering the size of the campus, everyone would know very fast if anything bad was to happen on campus. At all times there is campus security riding around and security cameras almost everywhere. The campus here is very safe and friendly and something dangerous almost never happens.
Review Kentucky Wesleyan College
The campus is wonderful. It is a small campus and allows for everyone to know one another. The professors are great, friendly, and willing to help.
When I came to Kentucky Wesleyan, I wasn't expecting anything that came my way. I was planning on sliding by and getting out in 4 years like I did in high school. But this college is much more than that. From KWC I have gained a friends, sisters, and a family that I will have for the rest of my life.
