I am an international student. My life at Ohio Wesleyan University was great! I remember, as yesterday, when they picked me up from an airport. I guess not many schools do that. The international office was very helpful throughout my life. Since the classes were small, compared to big schools, I was able to get professors' assistanship a lot.
OWU ruined my college experience. The friendly students and atmosphere are promising, but everything is just poor. Staff have admitted that not all professors go through teacher training (which shows). Most teachers give students a website to learn from which isn’t helpful because the wifi hardly works and there are constant power outages downtown that affect the school. Students often get sick from uncooked dining hall food. Without a car, there’s hardly anything to do. Don’t even think about coming if you are a person of color. From putting African-based majors in window-less basements to under accommodating Black and Brown students, there were MANY racist incidents. Physically disabled students often face broken elevators and inaccessible spaces. Mentally disabled students receive a single dorm the size of a janitor’s closet (defeats the purpose). Finally, most majors are underfunded while students are overcharged. So, if you’re looking for a crappy school, by all means, pick OWU.
Ohio Wesleyan University is a prestigious liberal arts college. At Ohio Wesleyan all professors are/were successful assets to their field. They provide not only a fulfilling education, but they truly care about the student body. The campus is very convenient to navigate. Ohio Wesleyan posses a very diverse body of students. The campus is very safe and comfortable at all times. Ohio Wesleyan goes above and beyond to involve their students in things on campus, making it very easy to become established and meet people.
