Most Helpful Review for Wilkes University

The classes are small, so better one on one with teachers. Teachers are very personable and helpful. Can get tutors for free or see teachers during office hours for help. Study sessions are also available to review and discuss information for tests.

    Wilkes University is exactly what I was looking for in a college. It is in a small location and a rather small school. The staff is very helpful and hands on.

    A little pricey for those who are going for liberal arts. Engineering, pharmacy, and nursing programs are excellent at Wilkes University. The small enrollment means you get to know EVERYONE on campus.

    Wilkes University offers great class size, the student to faculty ratio is similar to high school. Also, the faculty are extremely dedicated to the students. Finally, the environment is a great place for the educational atmosphere.

    This is a great, small, private school. There are small, concentrated classes for the one on one teaching experience. Everyone at Wilkes acts like a big family including faculty.

    Overall I like Wilkes a lot, there is a lot to do around the campus and the overall teaching is decent. The nursing program is hard, but it is meant to be, you are going to have peoples lives in your hands.
