Overall, Wesleyan is a good school! I wish the academic advising and course registration process was easier and more student-centered. Too many students, including myself, have struggled with a part of the process.
Visiting Wesleyan was an amazing experience that I definitely will not forget. When I first arrived at the campus, the modern also new look of it just caught my eye. They had buildings that have been their for years and some that had just been built. The people on campus and in the buildings were very welcoming and accepting. I enjoyed meeting the professors and getting their input on what path I should take for my career choice. I liked the dorms/housing because they were pretty updated and we actually got to have a look inside them. They have quite a bit of space and they can be made to feel like home. I also liked how there was a police station right beside the University and that their is security guards on campus at all times. I enjoyed meeting with the softball coach, she was a very genuine person and seemed to love the game. In all, NWU is a great college and you should visit sometime!
Financial aid is nice, registrar's office is not. Best case scenario here is no tuition, if you have a full-tuition scholarship you aren't allowed on campus work. The dorms all cost the same *up-front but vary WIDELY. The dining hall tries to cater to everyone every meal, so they have variety, but not for any one person. They require you to buy full meal plan first year, which is every single meal. Most of that will go to waste. Required to live on campus until you get married, turn 21, or are a senior. Student culture on campus is absolute trash. Come from a small town where there weren't cliques? Congratulations, you'll quickly learn what they are. Greek life is extremely power hungry. Campus is very much like the world in Anthem, everyone sees the problem but no one is willing to band together and fix it. Everyone is hopeless when it comes to fixing campus issues that aren't motivated by gender/disability issues. Don't try to make too many friends, most will transfer no matter year
