Virginia Wesleyan College Top Questions

What should every freshman at Virginia Wesleyan College know before they start?

Shannon

Explore the campus first. I knew the minute after I finished touring Virginia Wesleyan that that was where I wanted to be. Without visiting the college you can't really tell if it is the right place for you. Something about the college has to connect with you in order for you to be happy with the decision you make. You should also sit in on a few classes that may be connected with your intended major or classes that you think you might take, in order to find out what the teachers are like that you may end up seeing a lot throughout college. If you don't like the teaching styles of several of the teachers you meet, then the school is not for you.

The student and the parent should not settle on a school. I regret selecting this school. The student should think about many aspects when picking a college or university. They should first check out the size of the scool, average class size, teacher to student ratio, any tutuoring programs, activties on campus, how much financial aid they will give you. If the administrators and dean are kind and understandable, how much diversity, security and how fast they can respond, special features that the college offers, dorms and residence halls (if they are suitable to live in, bugs, how many roomates) and if there are any stores or anything surrounding the campus in case you don not have a car you need food during the week and if they give work study positions to the right canadites and what the process is get a job on campus. colleges really needs to listen to their students becuase at the end of the day they should want us to have a wonderful college experience and I think that all the things mentioned previously will defintely contribute to a good college experience.
