The Wesleyan brochure is very pretty and soBrightEconomics
The Wesleyan brochure is very pretty and so is the campus - they leave out alot though too... they don't tell you that there is a railroad track around the back of campus by the freshmen & senior dorms that has trains running 6-8 times/day ...or the 24 hour sawmill that runs behind the freshman dorms. Wesleyan "guarantees" housing for full-time students and you have to be "allowed" to live off campus - however, it is common to not have a housing assignment until the day you move on campus, be a junior stuck in freshmen dorms or get a suite and then be told your living room is going to be converted into a dorm room. The academics are good - but the administration will drive you insane. Lots of red tape & closed doors. Also they mislead campus security reports -- Ex: Rapes are very common, especially at frats, but the school, though recognizing frats, does not have to include crimes that occur there in their crime statistics. They also do not report rapes that the victim does not prosecute - which accounts for 90% ... very misleading.

Question
I went to this school thinking I wasQuite BrightUndecided
I went to this school thinking I was going to grow not only as a student but spiritually as well and this school did not offer that. There are Frat parties almost everynight and don't even get me started on what "Wesleyan Wednesday's" are all about. Don't get me wrong there are strong Christian students here but can be hard to find. This school shouldn't even be using the name Wesleyan in their name. If Charles Wesley knew what was going on in this school he'd be rolling around in his grave asking God to forgive each and everyone of the students AND professors who bash the name of Christ everyday on this campis Most of the professors here are very VERY liberal, some cuss in class and others just rant on and on about nothing. They recently converted almost every dorm except for two into coed dorms because they wanted a higher "retention rate' which is just bologna. All they want is your money and will except anyone and everyone who is somewhat interested in this institution. People have sex all the time in the dorms and if you try "C-blocking" any of them, they'll make your life miserable. Although I didn't have that great of an experience, I can tell you that some of the professors were very helpful and flexible with all of the students. Just don't take advantage of it. All in all, this school was definitely not where God wanted me to be the rest of my college career. He did bless me with some amazing friends that helped me with my walk with Christ and I couldn't ask him for anything better. After a lot of prayer I decided to transfer and it was the best decision I could have ever made. Please consider all of these factors listed above before committing your life, time and MONEY to this college.

Question
Holy Shit, this school is a piece ofBrightPhysics
Holy Shit, this school is a piece of shit. The students here are like idiots and savage from 10,000 BC. Asked what do you like to do, they would they "deer hunting", and "living in a farm." Why do you like to live in a farm? "I can pee wherever I want." These people don't know what is college, maybe that is the reason why they come here. Have no idea what happens outside WV. "Oh, I got an intern in Morgantown." Holy shit, another red neck ghetto! When you graduate, congratulations, you are unemployed too. Ridiculously, they have a lot of sports programs, students play sports and "train" everyday. Think about it, what can you get from playing Sports in this school? If you play sport in famous big school, it will decorate your resume, what the fuck point of playing sports here? Those regarded as "top" students are just average, because most of the students are way below the average. I transferred from another school, same exam, 10-20% lower than my previous school in terms of grade. Numerous crime, such as drug (you all know whom I am talking about, eh?) and theft (captured in Walmart). I just want to move ASAP.
