Wake Forest has been a great university that has offered many different programs and internships to help further my career. They have been extremely helpful with any of my concerns and have been nothing short of excellent in helping me achieve my academic potential. I would like wake forest to expand their campus to make it a little larger but the size it is at right now is still a very good size and the whole campus being secluded from the public is an amazing feeling.
Small school feel, big time sports. Wake gives you a great mix between school and fun, but if come here expect a lot of school work.
Wake Forest has been an extremely organized graduate experience. The professors are knowledgeable and friendly. It is also wonderful that they stress diversity and inclusion!
I have been very happy so far with my overall experience. Everyone has been very welcoming and helpful.
Very supportive to online students. Work closely with graduate students to ensure success. I enjoy the coursework. It’s informative and challenging.
An amazing school for academics, athletics, social life, and pretty much everything. Slowly is getting more diverse but still has work to be done. People are super nice and it's easy to make friends if you try!
The campus and student body are the right size. It is in a safe as well as beautiful area. Due to the fact that I will be an entering freshman, I do not feel qualified to express views other than the ones above.
Wake Forest University is a highly-ranked institution. You can go anywhere from this school, from Google to goldman sachs. Even their small physics program is filled with high-level professors. Usually considered the ivy-reject School. The school is filled with white and even wealthier individuals unaware of how money works: "Wait... you don't own a beach house?" Still, it would be unfair to say these same students are unintelligent.
I am an incoming freshman, so I don't have much experience with Wake Forest University yet, but so far everyone has been so nice and eager to help get me settled.
The faculty and students at Wake Forest University are incomparable. Although it's a small school, there are many ways to get involved on campus.
I've loved my time at Wake.
I was certainly surprised by the importance of Greek Life. It's definitely the social scene at Wake, but it's become a really big part of why I enjoy the school. I wasn't planning to join a fraternity when I joined, but buying into it has become a rewarding experience and has helped me build my social/leadership skills. Greek Life doesn't work for everyone, but it's much more inclusive at Wake than at other ACC schools.
"Work hard, play hard" is very appropriate for Wake. As someone who came from a pretty academically competitively high school, I was surprised how driven and intelligent so many Wake students are. Workload is definitely tough if you want to apply yourself, and the bar is set high. However, hard work pays off.
Winston-Salem is also a surprisingly interesting city, and easy flights out of GSO.
Wake is a great place for someone seeking a challenging but rewarding experience, both academically and socially. Being a Deac builds IQ and EQ.

Small school academic benefits with a favorable student/faculty ratio wrapped in the benefits of a big school spirit. Wake has a rigorous curriculum backed by caring, involved professors. Its gorgeous tree lined campus (ranked as one of the most beautiful by Architectural Digest) has plenty of outdoor space for study and play, and has modern student housing and facilities. Downtown Winston Salem, a burgeoning area with great cafes, restaurants and arts scene, is only a short drive from campus. Although ranked #23 by US News as "best value", it is still underrated. Graduates benefit from the support of a strong alum network and a Wake diploma is highly regarded on a national level. Go Deacs!
Great University with a beautiful campus and impressive, and attentive professors. Fraternity/sorority life plays a big part in student life. Students here live by the motto “Work hard, play harder
I like the community at Wake Forest. The professors and academics are great. There are exclusive organizations on the campus, and I wish more people could be apart of these. Wake has very friendly people all over though.
Wake Forest is the best decision I have ever made. Really great academics with good athletics and also a good party school
It’s been a great admissions process and happy I chose Wake Forest to study financial technology. 5 stars
Wake Forest is a great school and has helped me to become the successful student that I am. It has been a place to flourish, and allowed me to fulfill all my dreams and goals.
My daughter loves it. Great academic environment where Professors - for the most part - partake in curricula that intellectually challenges the student to think independently. No "Group-Think" ... very refreshing to see institutions still value critical thinking skills in this current academic environment.
Amazing resources for a small university. Sense of pride on campus with amazing professors and challenging classes.
I really enjoyed being able to take all my classes online, it was especially great because we always have to move due to the military and being able to just open my laptop for classes was awesome. I really enjoyed the ease of it! The only thing is I wish I was able to attend classes and sporting events in person but other than that its a great education and has really great classes. I look forward to taking additional classes in the future.
