      It is my first year of going here and I absolutely love it! I am currently studying zoology and music. I recently applied for a trip to Spain that is in May, so hopefully I get accepted to that. That's what I love about Ohio Wesleyan University, they have this thing called study abroad and travel learn courses that the school pays half for. It gives us a chance to experiment our majors into the fields we desire.

      Small town atmosphere, safe, plenty to do, liberal arts, fun fun fun! Professors are readily available to help grow my learning.75% of all students are involved in Division 3 sports, with excellent facilities. Great coaches who want to see you grow and be better. Close proximity to state capital and job opportunities after graduation. 90% of graduates leave college with a quality job offer. Students are well rounded and able to overcome all issues faced to them in real life experiences . Career opportunities are plentiful, with over sees classes also.
      Extraordinary teachers; top-notch music department. If I could go anywhere for college, I’d still choose OWU!
