What Students Are Saying
Wofford is a small college with big dreams. This college might be small, but has plenty of options for research and internships. I highly recommend this college if you're looking for deep, personal relationships with your fellow classmates and professors.
Meghan from Columbia, SC
Wofford has a beautiful campus covered in greenery. It has an incredibly friendly environment due to its small student population. All the staff members are truly helpful to anyone needing assistance.
