Virginia Wesleyan College Top Questions

You may not know what you want to study at first and it's okay to take time to figure it out. Take fun classes as well as ones that challenge you. Don't go the easy route but don't surround yourself with books everyday either.

I wish I would have known more about the finical aid process and about how to organize and keep track of the amount of money that I owe for my student loans. I also wish I would have been better informed about the amount of resources that I had at VWC and I wish the school would have had more seminars and opportunities for freshman to learn about future career possibilities because when I came in as a freshman I did not have a solid idea of what I wanted to do after college.

Upon my arrival to Virginia Wesleyan College, I began to wish I knew the differences in teaching styles among the professors here.

One of the things I always tell people about Virginia Wesleyan is, bring rain boots. This is probably the one thing I wish I knew before I came here. When it rains, which being on the coast it happens a lot, it floods. Everything else the school was very upfront and open with. When I was looking at schools I thought that this was one of the most honest schools I applied to. If you want to know something they will tell you.

Because of the size, there is not a large variety of classes to take
