Dana - 06/25/2020

I hold North Carolina Wesleyan College in high regard. The professors and advisors are dedicated to breaking down any sort of barriers to help their students succeed. There is an atmosphere of professionalism that seems to welcome people as they walk into an NCWC building. It's a great place to learn!

Herbert - 05/11/2020

It is a great place if you want to complete you educational goals. A great study environment with hands on professors willing to help every student. And those that play sports have a long list to choose from if you want to be involved. The food is great.

Koree - 09/24/2019

A terrible place to spend four years. Some of the professors are great and it makes you wonder why they are here. The administration is terrible and they are only worried about their money. I've lost 10 lbs that I did not have to lose because the food situation is terrible and the Caf is only open for a few hours with limited other options. Don't waste your money, it is not worth it.

Zachery - 08/06/2019

While there are plenty of opportunities and resources available to students to complete their degree, there are some things that could still use some work at this school. It is my understanding that there are future plans for development in these areas, however by the time those developments come, I will have already graduated. Overall, the experience has not been terrible at this school.
