So far I am loving Wofford! One of my favorite qualities about the school is its southern charm. Everyone here is super friendly and easy to talk to. Since the school only has around 2k students, everyone knows or has at least heard of everyone making campus really feel like a community. The activities offered on campus this year have been really fun while also maintaining covid guidelines. Some of these include: free food truck Friday, ice skating and hot chocolate, trivia nights, and scavenger hunts. If there is one thing I could change about Wofford it would be the food options. Right now during covid they aren't offering a wide variety of food and often slack on providing fruit that isn't an apple or banana.

Wofford has been a wonderful home away from home! I have entered into a community at Wofford that has embraced me and treated me like family. Many of the facutly and staff, students and all other employees will help you out any way they can, support you and encourage you to be your best in and out of the classroom. Wofford has given me so many experiences and opportunities that I doubt I would have found anywhere else. No college will ever be perfect, but Wofford is definitely up there.

As a POC at a very prominent PWI I had my reservations, but Wofford although having some major hiccups has turned out to be a wonderful school to me. I did have to find my friends (who looked like me) very early on but social scenes and partying are not very important to me. The class sizes are small and personable and I had wonderful one on one relationships with my professors. I like that each of my professors knew me by name and was always able to help. If you do come to this school it is a work hard play hard environment. College is a huge investment and Wofford College is not cheap, so use your time wisely.
