Wake Forest University Reviews
Housing I think is our second biggest issue. Junior year if you don’t go abroad (or do), you’re screwed since you have to live on campus. Sophomore year also doesn’t have the best housing. I wish they would listen to us and change this.
Food is pretty good I would say, academics are good (not too challenging, I’m a psych major but 100% depends on major), many ways to get involved, and overall gorgeous campus and great place to learn and have fun. Also, if you’re business, Wake doesn’t guarantee you’ll get into the business school which messes a TON of kids up.
they are an ACC school which means you get that big school feel; however they usually are very good at sports. At the end of football games usually the student section is empty. I loved going to games.
Academically Wake is very challenging. You must work hard and stay on top of your studies. Everyday I usually at least studied 2 hours. I was a math and spanish double major.
