I absolutely love attending Kentucky Wesleyan. Since it is a small provate school, class sizes are much smaller and more beneficial. All of the staff, from professors to mainteneance staff, know you and are very friendly. I live on campus, and the dorms are a little better than average. The campus food is also about average. Since the student body measures about 700, it seems as if everyone knows everyone, and cliques are almost nonexistent. Athletes are friends with the students in Greek life, who are friends with the students who participate in performing arts.
I am a freshman at KWC. I have , in a very short period of time, developed and grown so much. The professors know you by name whether you are in their classroom or not. The atmosphere is one of encouragement, personal growth and development for all. The campus is beautiful and easy to get around. Campus life has something for everyone and it's strongly encouraged to get involved whether it's clubs, athletics, Greek life or community service. There is also something going on around campus to get involved and if you're bored and have nothing to do it's your own fault. There's something for everyone . Most important for me is that there is a family atmosphere and I'm proud to call KWC my home away from home for the next 4 years.
Kentucky Wesleyan College allows me to get a private education near home. I get to journey into my future career while still having the comfort of a familiar feeling. The students may come from a different place, but Wesleyan makes it feel like home.
