Big Picture
Norton, not a college town, one bar. but growing, very easy to get to boston or providence if you want to be in a city. shopping malls/more restaurants are being built in the towns next to norton like mansfield, easton, taunton. frequent complaint about wheaton is the cafeteria food or public safety
Academic Life
Professors know you by name, small personal class sizes, very tough and demanding academically, professors very easily accessible outside of class/during office hours, professors always willing to help out beyond class, class participation is very common, many classes depend on participation, students are competitive w/ themselves, academically very strong school
Student Body
pretty diverse population, many say its mostly white rich kids, but wheaton tries to get kids from it seems like every country. athletes tend to hang out with athletes, african american students tend to hang out w/ african american students, dance groups hang with dance groups, but still the school all interacts together in classes and school wide activities. some kids get dressed up for class, but on the whole very casual. seems like a pretty politically active/aware group, mostly democratic/liberal kids. there are very well off students financially, but there are many students who have full rides, or at least some financial help at wheaton. many new englander students, but kids from all over, also a big portion from california
The Best Things
my friends, athletics
The Worst Things
food, public safety
