    Am learning a lot

    The classes are small and the professors are always willing to give extra time in or out of the classroom to help you understand. The hands on labs are superb at helping students fully understand the class materials.
    Am enjoying being here

    The Wilmington community has a close-knit bond, that keeps everyone involved. From home basketball games to weekend parties the students know almost everyone and it is super easy to become involved in any group.
    Bang for the buck

    It might cost quite a bit of money to attend for some students, but in the end the excellent education keeps the money off your mind. The professors also prepare you for the real world after college, so paying back those student loans is as easy as cake.

    Wilmington College is a small Quaker liberal arts college in South-central Ohio. Its faculty and stuff are dedicated to helping students succeed and make a difference in the world. The college is a perfect choice for any student who is looking for an intimate and supportive college environment.
    Tips for prospective students

    Prospective students should know that Wilmington is a place where people are dedicated to helping each other and themselves have a wonderful college experience. It is up to each student to make the college experience fun and memorable, and that wonderful experience can be had anywhere, including at a small, rural college.
    Academic Rigor

    Honors classes, as well as upper-level classes, are very difficult. It is possible to take courses at Wilmington that are not challenging, but if the student prefers a challenge, then that is what he or she will get. All courses are taught by seasoned professors who work individually with students to help them understand the course work.
    Dorm Life

    The dorms do not have air-conditioning unless needed for medical reasons, however laundry services are free which is a great benefit for all students. The dorms are sized well, and each hall has multiple study lounges and at least one kitchen. For upperclassmen, there are two apartment-style options which house either three or four people, and are air-conditioned and have their own kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry rooms.
    Food and Dining

    The dining services are supplied by Sodexo, Inc., and are always improving and changing for student health and convenience. There is a full service dining room which serves three hot meals a day and to-go food all day, and there is also a full service snack shop which offers snacks, subs, and pizza all day. There are vegetarian options in both locations, and health is a priority.
    What to do for fun

    At a campus of any size or location, students' experiences are what they make them, and it is up to them to make their own fun. There is a vibrant small-town feel to Wilmington, and the many shops and local festivals are great and cheap options. There are also many fun events at the school planned by the student led Activities Programming Board. Additionally, the cities of Dayton, Columbus, and Cincinnati are all within an hour's driving distance.
    Bang for the buck

    It is an expensive school, but it offers many scholarships, and no students there pay the full tuition price. The personal and professional connections made during time at the school is worth the price.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    Wilmington's focus on community service carries over into several annual events. Cardboard Village is a homelessness awareness event in which students create and sleep in their own cardboard structures. Relay for Life is a weekend-long event which raises money for cancer research.

    The bell tower in the middle of campus is a beautiful structure which was first cast at the request of Pope Pius XII, and its bells were rang at the Brussels World Fair. The bells ring every quarter hour, and on the hour, a full song plays.

    Fife Hall on Fife Avenue was once used as the Clinton County Sanitarium, and is now rumored to be one of the local area's most haunted locations.

    The Rock is located outside of College Hall and is almost always changing its appearance. Graduating and incoming classes, as well as different campus organizations, paint the rock in honor of different events.
    Great for these types of students

    It is a perfect choice for students interested in majors in the following: Agriculture; Athletic Training or Sports Management/Coaching; Education. It is also the ideal place for any student interested in social justice and a cross-disciplinary education.
    Clubs and Activities

    Though it is small in size, there are many, many clubs and activities to take part in at Wilmington College. There are over 50 clubs and extracurricular activities ranging from Student Government, Activities Programming Board, Rodeo Club, Faith in Action, and Division III Athletics.
    Greek Life

    There are two national sororities: Kappa Delta and Sigma Gamma Rho, and one national fraternity: Lambda Chi Alpha. There is one regional fraternity: Delta Theta Sigma, and one regional sorority: Delta Theta Sigma Li'l Sis. Additionally, there are three local fraternities: Sigma Zeta, Gamma Phi Gamma, and Tau Kappa Beta. There are four local sororities: Alpha Phi Kappa, Delta Omega Theta, Psi Beta Omega, and Phi Alpha Psi.
    Campus Safety

    There are very few on-campus criminal incidents each year. The campus safety staff secures each Greek party well and is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for escorting students to and from campus buildings.

    They have an excellcent faculty-to-student ratio, and even better faculty and student relationships. The open door policy here is amazing!
    Tips for prospective students

    Always keep an open mind; many students would write this school off because it is so small. I love how small this campus is because it gives me the chance to get to know everyone here. It also adds a sense of security that I don't think you would find at a larger school.
    Academic Rigor

    The classes are all challenging, but there are tutors available for every class. The professors are more than willing to help you in any way they can. There is an on-campus writing help center too for any papers need help with.
    Dorm Life

    The freshman dorms aren't much to look at, the rooms are small, and everything in the building is a little bit dated and worn.
    Food and Dining

    The food really isn't the best here. However, most of the staff is very friendly. And the dining area is always clean.
    What to do for fun

    There are not alot of places to go for fun on campus, but we usually get our friends together and have a movie night or a game night.
    Great for these types of students

    Great for Agriculture and Education students. And the Athletic Training program is very challenging as well.

    wilmington college is an amazing college if you are looking for a close-knit community and a welcoming feeling. the professors are kind and helpful, and really enjoy their jobs. the only issue with wilmington is they will nickel and dime you for everything they possibly can, and make it very hard to make payments on tuition.

    Am learning a lot

    The professors here are very understanding and treat you like another human being. They treat you like an adult and are very easy to get along. They are willing to meet with you and assist you in any way possible. They get you hand on experience. It's not all about being in class learning. A lot of my classes that I am taking now I have been placed on a real experience.
    Am enjoying being here

    I commuite to college and I enjoy being on campus. Everyone is so friendly and it is just a great college to attend. There are a lot of activities to get involved in.

It is really easy to get involved and just a great way to meet new people.
    Bang for the buck

    Did learn a lot

    The small class/lab sizes make it easy to get to know your fellow classmates and professors. Most professors are great and all of them are willing to help if you ask.
    Bang for the buck

    I would say living expenses are a little over the top for the dorms and food options, but otherwise it's a pretty good value.
    Tips for prospective students

    Get involved. If you're not on a sports team, get on a intramural team or take a (free) class at the Y. Join a club, a frat/sorority, or another school organization. Do the service activities on campus like Cardboard Village or a blood drive or take a trip to rally in D.C. You're paying a lot of money to be in college, take every opportunity offered.
    Great for these types of students

    People who like small schools, knowing their neighbors (as well as everyone else on campus), and having their professors know their names.
