Travis - 05/15/2024

It is one of the best I have visited during my recruiting process. For starters, the students on the campus are very welcoming and are always ready to meet new people. Whenever I met the professor for my major, he was ready to help me get into the sports management business by showing me what they do throughout the year for internships and what they do in the summer. Overall, this is a great school and I'm very excited for what is to come for me at this school.

Kathryn - 06/29/2021

Baldwin Wallace University is a great college for anyone considering. The professors are fantastic and easily accessible. Because it's a small school, you will get to know plenty of people; this is beneficial for introverts. There are many different clubs, sororities, and fraternities for all majors/minors. Beautiful campus year-round.

Alexander - 05/31/2021

Baldwin Wallace University is the perfect small school atmosphere. We have a world-class education and many successful athletic teams. The campus has beautiful architecture. The professors truly care about you and want to see you succeed. There are also plenty of ways to get involved on campus. I hope that you consider becoming a Yellow Jacket like me!

Gloria - 01/27/2021

So far, I have a good experience and have met nice people ready to help. The services are good, the food can be improved, but that isn't something significant for me. Education during this pandemic is excellent, mostly all classes are hybrid, and students can request to be fully online. There some virtual events that are enjoyable and interesting.
