    Wingate University has a beautiful campus with friendly peers and staff. On my first day, I was able to meet new friends in my classes. Wingate also offers many activities to get involved in, such as sporting events, movies on the lawn, and club meetings. Wingate has plenty of activities for a variety of people with different interests.

    It was the perfect fit for me. The student to teacher ratio is 14:1 and the campus is small, around 1,800 students (2,300 including graduates), so you get to know people on campus, but it's not so small where you feel as though you see the same people all the time. Not a big party school, but was fun to apartment-hop on the weekends and hang out with a lot of different people.
