    Illinois Wesleyan's admissions and financial aid offices are working very close with me to try and make the university affordable. I am very pleased with the ending cost for the university and am pleasantly surprised at how helpful everyone has been.

    While IWU is pricey, it's a big bank for your buck. The Pre-Med program has a 90% acceptance rate to medical school to first time applicants which is well above the 40-50% national average. In a recent survey, 95% of nursing students had a job 3-6 months after graduation (the other 5% went on to grad school). If you stay in your program IWU is known to be a rigorous school and your education will take you places.

    Although the price is more than a public university, I feel that the quality of education and the smaller number of students fits my needs.
