I love Wilson. I am a freshman and I chose this college for the unique experience of non-traditional learning, cool student body, and the opportunities for people who are interested in the arts. Warren Wilson is NOT for everyone. If you choose to come here, be ready to be in a small community of people who have bold personalities, and don't expect a normal college experience. Sports aren't a huge thing here, we do not have greek life, and parties are typically pretty small and are either in the dorms or one of the pastures. Personally I have gained a lot from the academics here so far, I have a lot of opportunities in my areas of interest and there are a lot of cool classes here. One of my favorite things is that the GE requirements are really cool and even if you don't like a certain subject you will probably find something you like in the list. There is a huge live music scene here too! Really the most complaints I have are the dorms aren't the best and food options are limited.
I applied this summer and because the campus was closed, I thought it would be too difficult and impersonal. My experience so far has been just the opposite! I had phone calls and a zoom meeting with my admissions rep. She walked me through the process of applying, and helped me fill out financial aid application information. I'm accepted and on my way this fall. My mom just sent her a list of questions, because we're still sorting out the details of moving and choosing classes. But I know I'm in a good place and will get all the help I need as I move forward with my education.
The school offers a very unique learning experience that combines academics, mandatory on-campus work, and community service works. Professors pay a lot of attention to their students as the class sizes are pretty small (15 to 20 students at most.) The school is unique, and it may not be the best choice for everyone. Teachers are understanding and give extensions on the assignments but it can be too laid back sometimes. Even though professors are good, they do not expect a lot from students. Students are also very hippie and mad at every problem on campus.
