Academics

The reputation of Work Forest is well earned. Professors take very seriously the mentality that one hour of class is equivalent to 2-3 hours of preparation, so you spend a lot of time studying, but so does everyone else, so it's not like you're studying while other people are watching tv or playing video games. Everyone here works really hard, and obviously worked really hard in high school to get here, so the level of expectation and level of work is high. However, students are very supportive of one another and professors low-key beg you to come to their office hours if you are struggling with even the smallest thing.

This school is one of the most prestigious schools in the nation and it is challenging academically but it is instrumental in developing skills for the future.

Make sure you are about your business. Its okay to have fun, but make sure you have that balance. (Pssssttt.... It isn't hard to maintain a balance because you're surrounded by so many who are like minded)

Academics at Wake are taken very seriously. Every class is tough, but you have to be willing to spend hours in the library studying to get good grades.

Wake Forest is nicknamed Work Forest: Where You Best Hasn't Been Good Enough Since 1834. That is completely true; the professors expect a high standard, but it is completely worth it.
