Wheaton College-Wheaton Top Questions

What is the stereotype of students at Wheaton College-Wheaton?

Summer

Wheaton students are stereotypical type a individuals who have everything together. Sometimes it feels like everyone else is living a life as a perfect Christian, passing all of their classes with ease, and somehow finding the time to spend time hanging out with friends everyday.

Alex

Everyone is perfect, and pure, and no one ever needs any help unless they really don't belong at Wheaton. They are all expected to be married at the end of their time in college, and yet there is no real niche for dating. It is very hard for people to be themselves and not have their actions judged as not being for the benefit of watching eyes.

Carson

Nerds, very religious, don't drink or party at all

We're generally thought of as being really smart and motivated Christians who have our lives figured out and a deeper meaning to live for.

I think some people think Wheaton students are sheltered or that there are too many strict rules here to really have fun or have the college experience. Wheaton students have also been accused of being fake and trying to be too perfect.

get married by the time you are a senior and/or graduation race is a hot topic that is very hard to talk about the pressure to be so good at evrything, smart, talented at sports, ect. to know what you want to do for the rest of your life by your freshman year

Common stereotypes are that the students here are perfect, Godly people who always have it all together. They do their homework and devos daily, have an awesome relationship with the Lord, never have to worry about money, have healthy relationships with members of the opposite sex, and are generally happy all the time.
