Regina from Macon, GA
Wesleyan is an academically challenging school. The classes sizes are very small so you receive a lot of one on one attention from your professors. The faculty and staff are willing to help you in anyway that they can.
Jordan from Griffin, GA
The campus is stunning. The dorms are hidden, kind of, which is really cool.
Jessica from Thomasville, GA
Wesleyan College is an amazing institution that offers a variety of things like an extremely divers student body, stimulating classes and professors, and a great sense of sisterhood. It was been a pleasure to attend, not to say it was not a culture shock, but it is one of the best moves I have made.
