It is an amazing school that allows many educational opportunities for all students! The campus is beautiful and creates such a welcoming atmosphere. Students are very involved both in terms of academics and student life. There isn't much I would change about Wake Forest. There is a good variety of food choices, but if I was to change something, I would add additional food options.
I actually really liked learning online! Wake Forest did a great job of ensuring that there was still communication amongst professors and students to mimic a classroom environment. However, one thing I did not like was an increase in "busy work" that I noticed in my classes after we switched to online working. A lot of the work I was assigned did not contribute much of an impact to the courses I was taking.
I arrived at the campus and all of the building and lawns were beautifully kept and maintained. It is quieter during the summer.The newly built business school is on the main campus contains all the latest technology and has so much to offer students.
They have a lot of resources for student career searches, the networking opportunities are amazing and because the school is smaller they focus in on the whole student and not just the grades. The program I am in at the graduate level has a 97% employment rate (within 6 months of graduating).
The student housing options are amazing! They have newly renovated homes and apartments for multiple people willing to have roommates. The campus and surrounding area is patrolled mostly in the evening and security is pretty pleasant.
The diversity on campus is decent for a PWI. The athletics and party scene are okay. I recommend getting involved and staying busy on campus to increase perspective employment instead of focusing on nightlife.
