    All my fellow students are super friendly and really take the time to talk to you and get to know who you are. The sense of community one feels on the Jessup campus is truly unrivaled.

    My experience at WJU has been nothing less than positive. In addition to excellent academics, the community offered at this school is second-to-none. Whether you are a commuter or find yourself living in the recently constructed dorms or on-campus apartments, the community around you is welcoming and supportive. WJU almost like a small family - now that I'm here, I couldn't see myself anywhere else!

    Everyone, and I mean everyone, is so nice when I have visited (I have visited twice about a year apart). Even the students who are not Ambassadors make sure you feel at home as do the teachers. They are still expanding as I said before, but the activities they do offer are pretty cool. Everyone, even if they are not on a team, seems to get involved with the sports & intramurals, and they have a strong service program.

    The campus and people are extremely friendly. Wish there were more activities but rooting for our athletic teams are always fun and bring a lot of school spirt.
