What Students Are Saying

I would say to never go by the word of mouth of others. Many students will bash the university on its rules or give you horror stories on their experience here. My advice: SEE FOR YOURSELF. If you have a question about our school, don;t be afraid to ask it. If you're planning on coming here, spending the next four years of your life (and all the money) here, know what you're getting into. In short, be curious and ask questions.
Randall from Goode, VA
Be prepared to work hard and have a lot of fun. Try to make sure you do well at balancing your time.
Jessica from Sheridan, MI
Make sure you have everything in order. Apply for your student loans or grants right away. Make sure you do your classes so you get what you want. Sort out your roommate ahead of time.

Don't worry too much. I worry a lot and it really brought me down early on in my first semester of college.
Do your homework ahead of time. It's a lot better do it ahead of time then doing it at three o' clock in the morning!
Nicholas from Noblesville, IN
*Look into as many of the school scholarships and grants as you can. Even though attending is a bit pricey, IWU offers quite a few different scholarships that can help cut tuition down to a more manageable size.
*Make certain that you will be fine with having to attend chapel three times a week. I've seen this ruin what would have otherwise been an o.k. year for some of my friends who didn't like being required to go.
*Don't be afraid to approach your professors for extra help, as most would be more than willing.
*Try to get off campus every once in a while. While it is quite possible to go the whole year without doing so, there are several interesting places to go around Marion, and it will add a little spice to everyday campus life.
Mandi from Cedar Springs, MI
1. Start on a Fall semester. (there are much more new student orientation activities and such)
2. Plan out your entire academic career before starting. (this can save you a lot of headache down the road and, hopefully, keep you from beeing in school longer than expected and thus save you money.
3. Look into church matching scholarships. (IWU will match a scholarship from your church up to $900/year)
4. If you are concerned about finding your place in the IWU community, its probably a good idea to live in a freshman dorm for you 1st year.
5. Financially speaking, it can actually be much cheaper to live off campus with some roommates.
6. PLAN CAREFULLY. Some classes are only offered in certain semesters or even every other year.
Paul from West Lafayette, IN
Make sure to visit the campus in the spring or fall. Visiting in the summer is good, too but you get a better feel for the student atmosphere during the semester.
Laura from Springfield, OH
Take your high school studies seriously and get a high GPA because Indiana Wesleyan gives a lot of academic scholarships. Indiana Wesleyan will prepare you to enter out into the world and have a great nursing and theology department.
