Clean but lost in translation. The dorms are subpar at best and the staff has no regard or respect for the students health. Financial aid is minimum, especially for a private university. The dining hall is enough to put even the strongest of stomachs in the emergency room. You would think after as much money as the students pay towards this school that William Woods University would be able to provide decent food and accommodations for its students. When asked, the dining hall will provide accommodations like making grilled cheese or cheese quesadillas for the students. One time when i asked for grilled cheese from one of the workers, not the chef, they will burn it on the outside while leaving the cheese on the inside cold and not melted.🤦♀️ it kills me to think this school has such spiteful staff members.
My overall experience at William Woods University has been spectacular so far! It's best known for its equestrian programs, but no one bats an eye if you're not involved with horses either. It's very friendly and diverse (I feel like there is a representative of every type of person here, and we all mesh together just fine), and since William Woods is such a small college, the professors have more time to form enriching relationships with students, and no one feels swamped by an overwhelming student population. If I had to do everything all over again I would return to William Woods every time.
William Woods University offers a lovely small campus feel where professors know you by name and truly want to help you succeed. The equestrian program excels at teaching skills and knowledge that employers look for and prepares you for life after college. Everything on campus is a 5-7 minute walk away. The dorms and food is average, although it's the people that really make the great experience. I highly recommend this school to any highschool graduate who wants to take advantage of available professors and a high-quality learning experience.
