Wesleyan University Reviews
Social scene is extremely cliquey, people stick with their freshman year group and scene very divided amongst athletes/others. Wesleyan is advertised as a progressive artsy utopia and while some students are like that, a lot of rich kids from the east coast and jocks dominate the social scene. That being said, there are also a lot of really interesting, passionate, unique individuals.
Clubs are generally very weak, beside the arts, athletics, and theatre. Really hard to find a community because the clubs are so inconsistent.
Overall, I got a good quality education but was disappointed by the social scene. Based off the advertisement I seemed like a perfect fit, but the school was largely not what was advertised. Im generally extroverted and felt very lonely.
