    Campus Safety

    Closed campus!! very safe
    Greek Life

    We don't have Greek life. However we hold traditions of big sister and little sister. This entitles the first years and thirds years, as well as the second years and fourth years picking her little sister to spend quality time with and creating an everlasting bond of sisterhood. This is also optional.
    Clubs and Activities

    Multiple different clubs to join. For example, Student government association, black student alliance, Latin American club, and many more.
    What to do for fun

    Wesleyan offers fun weekly activities. For example, every Wednesday they offered midnight snack for those late night studiers. There are always movie nights being hosted as well as slumber parties. Downtown Macon has plenty to offer from daytime walking to the nightlife.
    Food and Dining

    If I had to choose one downfall for Wesleyan it would be the food. We don't have the best food selection to eat from the dining hall. However I know our president and dean are working together to provide better meal choices.
    Dorm Life

    Dorms are older looking and need to renovated. However, living amongst your peers is very beneficial when a few of them are taking the same classes. It helps with time management and study sessions.
    Academic Rigor

    If you stay focused and on top of your assignments you will have no problem maintaining an outstanding GPA!
    Tips for prospective students

    Apply for as many scholarships and grants as possible. Stay focused no matter what, remember why you initially came to Wesleyan and never forget it. If you have a high interest in music and women's history Wesleyan will be a great match for you!
    In three sentences

    Wesleyan is very diverse. Strong determination for everyone to graduate. Helpful with academics rigors.

    Bang for the buck

    It is not worth the tuition money you will be required to pay
    Food and Dining

    The lowest tier of food from Aramark. Not many options. It sucks too and is very depressing
    Dorm Life

    Dorm life sucks. We were moved from our building twice with no compensation. They have bugs and the dorms are old and need to be renovated. It sucks.
    Academic Rigor

    Academics are good
    Tips for prospective students

    They put on a show for students and hide the worst parts of the campus. They lie just to suck you in.

    It is very depressing here. They lie just to get you to go to school

    Campus Safety

    The campus feels safe, but some of the guards can be slow to respond.
    Greek Life

    None
    Clubs and Activities

    There are plenty of clubs and activities, but most of them have a small membership and low attendance. We can't even put out a good newspaper. Also, a lot of the leaders of major organizations tend to form cliques that remind me of high school.
    Great for these types of students

    Students who are interested in nursing, business, or psychology. Other students will be disappointed.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    There is sisterhood, but a lot of people don't remain friends with their bigs. Some people do, but it is overly idealized.
    Bang for the buck

    Almost everyone has a scholarship, including people who don't necessarily deserve it. I am going for free, and I have gotten what I paid for.
    What to do for fun

    There are a fair number of events on campus, but attendance is usually not that great. Many people go downtown on weekends to go to clubs or bars.
    Food and Dining

    I don't know a single person who likes the dining hall. They lack options (especially for vegetarian and vegan students), and they have a problem with labeling what is in the food. Also, the plates and silverware they put out are often still dirty.
    Dorm Life

    The dorms are all fairly old and dirty. The common fridges are always disgusting, so you NEED to bring a mini fridge. The apartments are fairly nice, although students cannot control thermostats in the apartments. Frankly, considering there is a residency requirement I think the school needs to make more of an effort in at least keeping the dorms cleaner. Student Affairs is in charge of any complaints regarding the dorms or roommates, and in my experiences they are ineffective.
    Academic Rigor

    It truly depends on the major. All of the professors I have had are great, but I have been disappointed with my peers. Many incoming students in recent years simply aren't interested in academics.
    Tips for prospective students

    If you are interested in pursuing the arts or humanities, I wouldn't suggest coming here. There are few students in these departments and even though the professors care, the administration does not.
    In three sentences

    For me, Wesleyan has been a mistake. This does not mean it is wrong for everyone and that there are no redeeming qualities. However, please keep in mind that the admissions office has a tendency to embellish.

    Campus Safety

    self defense classes are taught and there are campus police park everywhere.
    Greek Life

    we all have sisters chosen to help us through our college journey and they are picked based on similar likes and interest which is written on a form and turned into the student council members.
    Clubs and Activities

    There are a lot of clubs and you can do as many as you want.
    Great for these types of students

    great for married students. Or in general if you're a girl and don't mind being around just females for long periods of time.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    the peep rallys are late at night at 10 and super secretive. it also involves a really big fountain.
    Bang for the buck

    eh it's a bit pricey and some may feel it's not wroth it but i love the atmosphere here and it very welcoming.
    What to do for fun

    Go to late night activities on campus mostly. Sometimes there's an off campus event that's kind of fun.
    Food and Dining

    The dinning hall is fairly big.The food itself is not the best, but it's way better than high school food. There's also a dominoes right next to the school so you can always order pizza and there's a Chinese food place close which is equally nice.
    Dorm Life

    The apartments are amazing. The regular dorms for freshman and sophomore are a bit small. The students in general in dorm life just very. You can get along with everyone or be stuck in a dorm building where people aren't always so friendly. It's not horrible though.
    Academic Rigor

    fairly rigorous depending on the courses you're taking.
    Tips for prospective students

    Make sure you study and ask questions if you don't understand something. There are many places that you can work and get help for classes.
    In three sentences

    Wesleyan was created in 1836 as one of the first colleges for women to earn a degree. This is a great liberal arts college that focus more on academics than sports. The small student body is great for one on one time with professors who really care about your success here.

    Food and Dining

    Serve the same foods every week, some every day.
    Dorm Life

    When I had a problem with my roommate that caused me harm, the housing office did nothing, but my RA did help as much as she could. Dorms are nice.
    Academic Rigor

    Science and math classes are taught by people with the highest degrees in their field, and they demand academic excellence.
    Tips for prospective students

    Don't stress.

    It's expensive, but almost all of the students have assistance through scholarships. But hey, it's a private college. What do you expect? You get what you pay for!

    Campus Safety

    Campus police keep the area safe.
    Bang for the buck

    Compared to other private schools in the area Wesleyan is very affordable, and offers scholarships for academic acheivement.
    What to do for fun

    Located in Macon, there is plenty for students to do either on or off campus. On campus is a gym and equestrian center. Off campus students are just a few miles away from dining, movies, and the Macon centreplex where many events take place.
    Food and Dining

    The dining hall offers buffet style dining with healthy options.
    Dorm Life

    The students who live in the dorms are close to classes and have all the accommodations of home. A private room can be requested for only $500 per semester.
    Academic Rigor

    The teachers give assignments and homework that one would expect to receive at such an institution. They are always willing to answer questions if you don't understand the way something was taught.
    Tips for prospective students

    All you have to do is apply and an admissions counselor will contact you soon!

    Wesleyan is a welcoming school for transfer students and freshmen. As a non traditional transfer student, Wesleyan was eager to help me achieve my goals! Wesleyan truly is first for women as they make it possible for women of all nationalities and income levels to attend!

    What to do for fun

    There are plenty of clubs and organizations to join on the campus. Many of which hold fun activities, plan entertaining events, and so many sports teams to join.
    Tips for prospective students

    You will be an individual at this school-- not just another face in a crowd. Teachers know you by name and it is impossible NOT to connect with fellow colleagues. As much as this was appealing for me when first entering, it was also slightly intimidating because, I'd never been recognized as an individual with beneficial qualities to offer society by an educational institution before. But the jitters quickly subside, for the school makes it impossible to not succeed: numerous extra help opportunities, friends eager to create study groups, and plenty of on and off campus activities to prevent burn out. Be present, take notes, don't be afraid to ask questions, study, and ask for help. Also, get used to succeeding.
    In three sentences

    Wesleyan College is truly home away from home. The traditions, values, and education is of such a high quality that I truly feel to be a part of something greater than myself. A college of firsts for women, the instant connections I've made at Wesleyan College has had an incredibly positive impact on me and my fellow sisters.

    Campus Safety

    Campus Safety is great! Everywhere I go I will see a Campus police. their truck is always parked right out in front. They have three different numbers that you can reach them at. they always answer the first time. They are on duty 24/7. They come within the seconds you call because the campus is so small.
    Greek Life

    As I said before with the weird tradition, we have sisterhood tradition. we are sectioned of into four groups. Green Knights (GK's), Purple Knights (PK's), Golden Hearts, and Pirates. As the class graduate, the up coming class will take the name of that graduating class.
    Clubs and Activities

    I am on C.A.B. (campus activity board), so I know first hand that you will always have fun! We plan things ahead of time so it will be great. We ask you want you want to see, hear, or do to make it better for you. We have so many clubs that I can't even name a few. just go to our online website at: www.wesleyancollege.edu
    Great for these types of students

    Great for ANY student. I was shy and quiet when I first joined Wesleyan College, but now I am joining clubs and having fun. Wesleyan is a place you can relax, but if that's not what you want you could also have fun here. It's a two in one!
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    An unusual tradition would be that we are like non other. We have sisterhood not sororities on campus. (We have sororities, just not on campus). Sisterhood makes everyone equal and everyone loves it. You are assigned a Big by what you want.

    Horrible school. Spends your money to landscape and build more buildings they don't need. They will not fix the cracks in the ceiling in the inside pool. (or rebuild one because of horrible rust) In some of the dorms, there is no hot water in several of the showers. We have complained and still nothing is done. Even when it was Winter! There is also no plugs or temperature controlling, no benches (except in the showers), tables, or even mirrors in the shower area or toilet area. In the dorm rooms, you have to put a cold rag on top of the air/heat controlling system in order for the heat to stay on during the winter. But the air will come on and stay on. They will also make it hard for you to transfer or withdraw from the school. They will convince to stay like the cash cow you are to them. There is also a stench of white superiority here and they LOVE internationals but not to much because they make them pay for a room (when they are already paying for room/board) for the long winter breaks ($30 per week). This school LOVES to boast about how diverse it is but the reality is that the internationals will only hang out with there own. In the dining areas, you see the people of the same race, color, people from the same country eating, talking, laughing with each other. Avoid this school like the plague. They will ruin your high GPA you had in high school. Also, if you want to go somewhere, have a car or make friends that have cars.
    Food and Dining

    Always fatty foods. They will almost never change it up. It is always rice, corn, pizza, fries, cookies, bacon, biscuits, grits, and (the only healthy thing) salad.
    Dorm Life

    Every student is given the numbers to the campus police and if you spot anything strange you can call them right away. Nothing bad has occurred in my time here, so they do a pretty good job making rounds.
    Greek Life

    The entire campus is essentially a sorority. Wesleyan College is the birthplace of the first sororities: the Adelphean Society in 1851, now known as Alpha Delta Pi and the Philomathean Society in 1852, now known as Phi Mu

    I would say the school is good academic-wise, but if you want to experience that college social life, this is not the place for you. Unless you do not mind that the school is an all-girls campus and a dry-campus.
    What to do for fun

    There are a lot of activities hosted by several clubs. There is, Soccer, capture the flag, the annual hunger games, and more.

    Food and Dining is not that great, especially for the picky eater.
    Dorm Life

    There are several buildings you can choose from that are all different. There is the dorms that have showers outside of the room, and there are dorms that have showers and bathrooms connected to your room. In addition, when you have enough school credits, you can apply to live at the apartments on campus.

    Make sure you get your head in the game. This is not a type of school you can slack at. You have to work hard to earn good grades.

    Wesleyan is a great school if you want to focus on your academic studies. If you want to attend college for simply the social life, this is not the school environment for you. Also, this is an all-girls school.

    Possibly one of the worst educations I have recieved ever. Not only is the education bad, but you will assume that the sticker price means cheap and valuable for my parents, to be honest the financial aid office is useless. They do not care about international students, force them to pay out of pocket to stay on campus when they cannot go home for the break, and provide no sort of meal service for them, they must figure that out. The dean is not very nice. The school is very segregated. Ask them their retention rate, and ask them why there is only 40 people in their graduating class, opposed to the number of students who apply. It is not because of the education difficulty(almost at the same level of community college) but because students leave as soon as they get the opportunity. Please do not come here.

    Campus Safety

    Wesleyan is an extremely safe community with the campus police continually running circuits around the campus to check for anything unusual. You will also get alerts and emails from these men if there is a potential danger, even though there has not been any activity while I have been here this entire semester.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    Sisterhood is something that is somewhat important on campus, it all just depends on who you get as a big sister. It's not to say that it doesn't exist but be prepared for a high-school mentality because there is a tendency to form cliques. However, there are great people out there and you can adopt a big sister if you want to. The purpose is to help you assimilate to college and provide someone you can go to in your time of need.
    Bang for the buck

    The amount of tuition each year is absolutely ridiculous and the financial aid office is not willing to help you cover any extra costs at all. There are also various, ridiculous fees that they give you every year like a $150 fee for technology when the wi-fi is not even that good. They are also so quick to give out student loans, and though many of you may believe it is a good option IT IS NOT!!!!!!!!!!! You will put yourself in thousands of dollars of debt, not to mention the high interest rates that will make the total amount you owe even worse. The classes may be harder than at other schools but that is the only good thing that comes out of going to this school.
    What to do for fun

    There really isn't much to do on campus, if you want to have fun then you will need to have a car or know someone that has a car. Most of the fun things are very far away like the movie theater, the mall, etc. You will most likely have to rely on someone or the shuttle that Wesleyan provides.
    Food and Dining

    The food is okay, at the beginning of the year they are trying to show off and reel you in but then halfway through the semester the food becomes mediocre. I have had to go to restaurants and get a ride from someone because I do not feel like eating at the cafeteria.
    Dorm Life

    Though there is the opportunity to meet different people in the dorms, the condition of the traditional dorms, and even the apartments are not the best. The suite style dorms are more popular than the communal bathrooms
    Academic Rigor

    These classes are hard but it truly just depends on how you manage your time. You cannot be a procrastinator and expect to pass because your professors will know. Also, you place unnecessary stress on yourself whenever you do decide to start on a paper or project late because you will have plenty of assignments so there is no room to procrastinate. The expectations that your professors hold to you are higher: they will expect you to partake in class discussions and will even require that you read outside of class. You will have to put more hours into college work than you did for high school. The standard rule is that you will have to spend double the amount of hours that you are taking. There will be a lot of assignments but as long as you don't procrastinate you will be fine.
    Tips for prospective students

    You will have to work hard in the courses at this school but honestly the challenge comes from managing your time. I struggles with this simple task myself and that truly determines how hard college will be for you. You cannot expect to be able to do tasks the night before if you were the kind of person to do this in high school. Another thing you guys should know, anyone that is willing to help you, get to know them and do not be afraid to ask questions or go to a tutor, it will help.
    In three sentences

    The school is okay but I will say that the financial aid is really not all that helpful and costs are absolutely ridiculous, I mean a $150 technology fee for wi-fi that doesn't work and poor maintenance on the various machines around campus. Also, even though this campus strives to maintain diversity this is all a show because there is a clear segregation among different ethnicities and no attempts at all to build the bridge, this school just cares for you because of your money and you really do not receive a different education that you would at another school. If anything another school would be better unless you want an art degree when you graduate, even if you are a science major you still get this.

    What to do for fun

    There are many clubs and activities you can join. Also, there is a shuttle from school almost every Friday to different places, mainly shopping mall.
    Food and Dining

    Most of the time, it is okay. Because of school size, not many choices as other big schools have.
    Dorm Life

    Share a room with a roommate unless you live in an apartment. There are two types of first-year dorm. Close to academic buildings.
    Academic Rigor

    Almost every students on campus work hard for their school. Most of professor counts attendance as a part of grade, and if you miss a class more than three times, it will be reported to an academic office.
    Tips for prospective students

    Be prepare to work hard, but you do not have to be scared of school. It is not required to decide a major when you come, but it is good to think about what you would want to do in the future.

    There is no Greek life. You can join a sorority, but there are no sorority houses on campus. Instead we have the big sister system.

    Wesleyan is a great college for students who know their priorities and are willing to work hard.

    Every Wesleyan freshman is assigned a big sister from the junior class. Your big sister is your mentor and friend, but if you don't like who you are assigned you can always be adopted.
    Bang for the buck

    Even though Wesleyan is an expensive school the education you receive is worth every penny.
    What to do for fun

    Wesleyan Clubs plan a lot of on campus fun activities. We have everything from foam parties to movie nights.

    Wednesday is my favorite day to eat in the dinning room, because they serve soul food. Just like every school some days the food is amazing, and others not so much.
    Dorm Life

    Living in a dorm is what you make it. I personally love my roommate and enjoy it.
    Academic Rigor

    Wesleyan College prides itself in being academically challenging. When you graduate the faculty and staff want you to be prepared for the real world, so even though the classes can be challenging it's worth it in the end.
    Tips for prospective students

    If you join the Wesleyan sisterhood, be prepared for a lot of hard work and a lot of fun. We all depend on and help each other. Wesleyan gives young women the tools to be independent, successful, and hardworking.

    Artsy, or brainy girls. If you're in college to get your degree and not party this is the place to be!
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    One tradition I adore here is the Big Sister. Basically instead of having sororities, we have different classes, which all compete with each other at different activities and all have colors and mascots of their own.
    Bang for the buck

    The bond between student to student, and student to staff is incredible. Shockingly they're on first name basis here, and wouldn't want it any other way. This is a close college family. They are all different women with different backgrounds and they are all accepted and find their place here.
    What to do for fun

    There is of course the usual sports offered at Wesleyan. You can attend a game, or hit the gym for free if you're an attending student. There is an equestrian club, and also many other clubs.
    Food and Dining

    Wesleyan of course has the self serve ice cream, the food is basic cafeteria food. If you've ever eaten a school lunch, you wont be shocked to find the taste is no different, maybe a little better here.
    Dorm Life

    The Dorms are of course aged, like any other school that is 100 plus years old. They do have great air conditioning for the hot summers, and the rooms are not too small, its comfortable if you know your room mate.
    Academic Rigor

    So far I have seen most students graduate from this college with articles already published of their work! Wesleyan is a small school, so the professors do hold you accountable for missing class, and ask for an explanation. Of course this only teaches you to be responsible, and attend the classes you're paying for.
    Tips for prospective students

    Make sure you pay for your housing fee super early, first pay first serve. Make sure to apply for as many scholarships as possible, its never too early! Understand the difference between a student loan, and a private loan!
    In three sentences

    Wesleyan College is bound and determined to support all of their students, and possible students to feel welcomed, and appreciated. the women of Wesleyan are also a tight knit family who hold each other accountable through life decisions. Wesleyan college is a rigorous academic college, but they will have you prepped and ready for the real world.

    The financial aid counselor tries as hard as possible to get you the most money you can possibly get. The suite style dorms are great for the money. It is overall the cheapest route for private education.

    There is always something going on on campus but within a few miles there are things to do in the town of Macon.
    Food and Dining

    Because it is a small school all of the food is made on campus each day. The food is pretty good depending on which day it is. Their are veggie alternatives for the vegetarians. All the meals are fresh and healthy.

    Traditional dorms are not great but the suite styles are amazing and very popular.

    This college is great for students who love small class sizes and a close knit environment, where everyone knows who you are. You are NOT a number! Wesleyan is a college with integrity and history. This college is for those who are determined, focused and not not caught up in what other college students might be doing.
    Tips for prospective students

    Wesleyan College is not like other colleges, so be sure to come with an open mind. We have our own crazy fun and everyone here is unique in her own way. This provides more learning, bonding, and overall fun to the college experience.

    Wesleyan is rated top in private schools for its value and prestige. For a private school education you are paying almost half less than most prestigious, Ivey League colleges. Compared to Emory Wesleyan has a higher percentage rate accepted in to post graduate schools, i.e. Medical, Law, e.t.c on the first try. Wesleyan 98% & Emory 47% !
    Am enjoying being here

    I love the campus. It is very beautiful and spacious with plenty to do on campus. Being that I am from the suburbs, I am used to there being more things to do off campus and Macon does not very many things to do. This only means students are pushed to find things to do either on campus or with the college students nearby.
    Am learning a lot

    The curriculum is strenuous and is great for those who like to learn. Teachers here care about students and want to see each student succeed. Therefore the curriculum is geared to challenge each individual and push her out of her comfort zone to explore everything the world has to offer her.

    Call and schedule a campus tour, or take the online tour found on Wesleyan's website. Visiting a campus is the most important part of the selection process, and it enables you to interact with the school's community.

    I have never regretted my choice in coming to Wesleyan. The faculty and staff will do anything in their power to enhance (and improve) your abilities in order to be successful in your field of study.
    Am enjoying being here

    Wesleyan students are not only highly intelligent, but also possess a genuine bond which is rarely found in any other college environment. Upon starting the first few weeks of school my freshman year, I felt as though I had known some of my classmates for years. Although this school has a wide variety of clubs, organizations, and sports teams, it is the women who attend the school which uphold the pioneering spirit it is famous for.
    Am learning a lot

    Each class offers its own, unique challenge for students. With a 10 to 1 student to professor ratio, the discussions are dynamic and intellectually stimulating. Faculty offer the best quality of education possible, and are determined to see you succeed.
