    Will learn a lot

    I got to sit in a class to see how classes were run here and the professors know what they're talking about and they really care about their students.
    Will enjoy being here

    There is a lot to do here including: sports, clubs, part-time jobs, research projects, and more
    Bang for the buck

    The education is worth the money here for sure. When I visited one of the chemistry classes, the professor went on with his planned lesson and I actually understood him (but when my high school teacher was teaching that same lesson, I couldn't understand at all). This place is well educated and helps their students succeed daily!
    Tips for prospective students

    You should sit in a class and see how stunning the professor's lessons are, go to chapel to really soak yourself in their culture, and eat at their diner (the variety of food in stunning and their cookies are delicious!).
    Great for these types of students

    -Christian students who are interested in science and are afraid that it will contradict their beliefs
    -Anyone who wants to be part of a Christian community and grow emotionally and spiritually

    Am learning a lot

    The professors at Roberts provide an excellent education. They care deeply about each of their students and take the time to give extra help if necessary.
    Am enjoying being here

    The atmosphere at Roberts is awesome! All the students and staff are so friendly. It's easy to meet people and there is always something fun to do.
    Bang for the buck

    The education I'm receiving at Roberts is definitely worth the money. While it is a little pricey, overall with financial aid, it's totally worth it.
    Tips for prospective students

    Apply! Roberts has a pretty good acceptance rate and is looking for students who are serious about their studies and their faith.
    Great for these types of students

    Roberts is a great fit for Christian students who want a liberal arts education.

    Academic Rigor

    If you have the opportunity to go to study sessions supervised by a teacher's assistant, take advantage of that - especially if your major is in any of the sciences. Most teachers have open hours one or two hours a week so you can come in and ask questions about the material you're learning. If you want to get at least a 3.0, you should only have 2-3 hours of free time a day - the rest should be spent studying on your breaks.
    Dorm Life

    Roberts doesn't provide a decent survey for students to fill out when to adequately determine a roommate for them. The lack of cleanliness doesn't bother me as much as any inconsiderate noise that happens in the quads - Davidson, another women's dorm, is very quiet and it's easy to study there. It's also kind of annoying that boys are restricted to only visit 6-11 PM on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and weekends.
    Food and Dining

    Everyone was deceived on preview days and accepted students' day when Garlock, the dining hall, pulled off B+ meals. Normally the food is around a C-; beef stroganoff is served way more often than it should. Luckily, though, they almost always serve subs.
    What to do for fun

    The main complaint I have about Roberts is its lack of transportation for the students. There aren't any buses that can bring you to and from the city of Rochester, so if you're in the dorm for the weekend, you'll be leading a very boring life. Roberts' defense for this is that they don't provide transportation into Rochester because most of the students here already have cars on campus.

    In three sentences

    I really enjoy the Christian atmosphere here at Roberts Wesleyan College. I really feel like the professors care for their students and the student: teacher ratio here makes it a more close knit environment. I feel like I've gotten a quality education here.
    Tips for prospective students

    If you are looking for a more intimate environment, then this is a great school. The campus is open to the community and provides many opportunities to reach out in the surrounding areas. I'd like to forewarn any prospective students about the weather though, because the college is in Rochester and it experiences a lot of lake-effect snow due to its relative proximity to Lake Ontario.
    Academic Rigor

    It is not highly competitive here. There's an honors program. I definitely feel like I've grown intellectually while being at Roberts Wesleyan College.
    Dorm Life

    It is a relatively quiet campus. Because it is a dry campus, you won't find students partying in your dorm building, which is a plus because you won't have the unpleasant task to stepping over students passed out from drunkenness in the hallway like you'd find in many other colleges. Even though Roberts Wesleyan College is a Christian liberal arts college and it has rules and regulations, you won't find the rules as strict as they would be in other Christian colleges.
    Food and Dining

    Unlike a lot of other colleges and universities, Roberts Wesleyan College provides its students with a variety of healthy food choices. We have a grill in the Athletic building, a café in the library, and a dining commons with food prepared by the employees themselves. The dining commons provides students with many options during the different mealtimes of the day.
    What to do for fun

    There are usually activities held on the weekends here at Roberts Wesleyan College. There have been trips to indoor waterparks, ice skating rinks, snow tubing, movies, trips to outlet malls, lazertag, and more. I also highly suggest that students bring their own car or become friends with someone who has a car so that on days when there are no special events planned, they can go down into the city of Rochester (which is about a fifteen-minute drive from campus).
    Bang for the buck

    The quality of the education here on campus is a testament to the tuition, you really do get a bang for your buck here. The facilities are updated. I really feel like the people who work here at Roberts Wesleyan College really want to help the students.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    Everyone loves the library because it is such a comfortable place to go study and meet up, it is still a fairly new building and is environmentally friendly. I have friends who come visit me from a nearby university and they have commented on how well-kept (and new) the furniture and student hang-out places are because many campuses seem to have outdated technology and furniture. An unusual tradition here on campus is the notion of Ring by Spring because many of the couples here at Roberts Wesleyan College seem to get engaged during Spring semester.
    Great for these types of students

    Roberts Wesleyan College is great for students looking to be involved not only in their campus, but also in the community. Roberts offers a lot of community outreaches and missions trips. Also, because of the small student population (about 1,200), students are pretty close knit and it is easy to build relationships with people and you can easily recognize many of your peers on campus after a few weeks.
    Clubs and Activities

    As I mentioned before, there are many outreaches in the college. Our SIFE team (Students In Free Enterprise) recently won the regionals and will soon be competing in the national competition. There is a drama club, a dance club, ACT:S (a club that raises awareness on many of the pressing issues today), musical groups, and more.
    Greek Life

    There is no Greek life. This isn't a bad thing though. Because Roberts is Christian College, they encourage all of their students to be involved in helping the community.
    Campus Safety

    I've always felt safe here on campus. You rarely hear of any altercations among students. Everyone seems to look out for each other here.

    Academic Rigor

    The courses seem like a challenge I will enjoy.
    Dorm Life

    From what I've seen and heard, not bad.
    Food and Dining

    Not too sure, but better than lunch in high school.

    Will learn a lot

    On my college visit, I didn't feel like the academics were up to the level of which I was looking. I was also told that one of the on-campus jobs I could apply for was peer-editing papers for other classmates. I personally want to be challenged, not the person challenging others.
    Will enjoy being here

    When we scheduled my college visit at Roberts, the admissions office treated us as a nuisance or bother, and I felt like I was not welcomed at all there.

    Am learning a lot

    The professors at Roberts are all really wonderful! They are engaging as well as entertaining. You will never have a dull moment at Roberts, I can assure you.
    Am enjoying being here

    I was torn between two different colleges when I decided on Roberts Wesleyan. It was the best decision of my life! Who knows, you might just meet your future husband or wife here, someday. I know I did!
    Bang for the buck

    Though Roberts is somewhat pricey, it's definitely worth it. The education, atmosphere, and friendships you gain are worth tremendously more.
    Tips for prospective students

    Don't be afraid to try something new at Roberts. And be yourself!
    Great for these types of students

    Anyone who wants meaningful and long-lasting relationships.
    Anyone who wants to grow spiritually and be challenged to be something more.

    Am learning a lot

    Roberts Wesleyan offers a wide variety of liberal courses that help all majors and interests. The required classes at Roberts Wesleyan also allow for students to grow spiritually and mentally.
    Am enjoying being here

    Students and staff at Roberts are very nice. Everyone does everything for each other. I can not tell you how many times a guy has stayed at a door just to hold it open. People are so caring. It is also very fun between the intramurals, concerts, and the sports events there is always something going on to do.
    Bang for the buck

    Roberts gives money to most students. New York state also gives money to students. Because it is a private college the tuition is higher, but there is more money being given, so dont not apply just because of the tuition costs.
    Tips for prospective students

    Visit!!! Talk to professors and students from Roberts. Everyone is open to helping incoming students.
    Great for these types of students

    Religious, Artistic, Athletic, Students who like to give back, and Students interested in a liberal arts education.
