Big Picture
Wesleyan is a school full of truly engaged students. Students are very progressive, politically involved and active in a whole variety of extracurricular activities including the arts (particularly film), comedy, theater, and many, many others. Students are also an extremely intellectual group, meaning they are very intellectually engaged outside of the classroom. Classes are small, and for the most part Wesleyan students are extremely happy at the school.
Academic Life
Wesleyan academic environment is very open. There are no true requirements, only general expectations about what classes students must take, and most students easily fulfill them. Students are extremely intellectual and class discussions often carry over outside of class. Classes are small, professors are very engaged with their students and students take academics seriously but without being competitive with each other.
