Wheaton College-Wheaton Top Questions

Is the stereotype of students at Wheaton College-Wheaton accurate?

Claire

Not all. We have a lot of fun- there's a ton of stuff to do around the Chicago area, and if you're bored, it's your own fault. There's always something going on around campus...with or without your boyfriend/girlfriend!!! Wheaton is in fact a campus swarming with beautiful people--both boys and girls.

Will

somewhat, but there are definitely people who couldn't care less about the covenant

Charlie

for the most part yes, but we are all human too...some people drink, smoke, have sex, etc. but the population that does so is VERY, EXTREMELY few

Tate

hahaha. no, though they are until you get to know people for real.

Jenn

Half of them are. Most of the students here are Caucasian and rich. There's always your one stuck-up student here and there, but not as many as expected. When it comes to world knowledge, a lot of students haven't experienced something different other than home and college.

Andy

There are people here who are the reason these stereotypes exist, obviously, but for the most part if those words don't describe you, there's still a lot of places for you to be. I am not conservative by any measure, but have found community here with people who are. I am not type A and people are fine with that. Actually I'd say teh Type A stereotype is probably the most quoted and least accurate.

Only for a select few. Everyone here was the top dog at his/her high school and Wheaton is a very humbling experience. Most people, after time, lose their superiority complex and learn to live saner lives.
