A community that pushes you out from your shell
By Kate A, Class of 2020, From Vashon Island, WA
As a senior at the college, I just received my highest GPA since middle school. I have always been a decent student but never saw myself as a super intellectual type. Here, Professors went out of there way to recognize my contributions to the classroom in a way that pushed me to be move beyond what I had capped my potential as. This school made me more confident as a person and I think this place holds you accountable in the most loving way possible. My professors and friends hold me to my words, socially and academically. I feel drawn to my classes and assignments and am super wrapped up in my senior research for my Independent Study. This wasn't just any undergrad four-year experience; I will always love Wooster for how it morphed me into the person I am today.

Still my #1 choice, 25 years later
By Ken C., Class of 1996, From Chapel Hill, NC
As a graduate, I can attest to Wooster's ability to help you discover your potential. The friendships have lasted a lifetime and the education was superb. My ability to think critically, find original solutions to complex problems, and communicate effectively, have all served to set me apart from my peers in my professional life. I owe my proficiency in each to the education I was provided at Wooster. As an added bonus, I met my wife there!

Wooster parent
By Parent class of 2022, From OH
Not being an Ohio native we'd never heard of the College of Wooster before moving here. A college advisor spoke very highly of it and it seemed to meet the criteria of my son's wants so we checked it out. We came home with it being our new first choice and 1 year later he has had an incredible freshman year! The first year is always the hardest getting used to living away from home and the college really makes getting to know other students easy and they allow Freshman to take courses that really interest them in their major so they can truly start immersing themsleves in the academic experience. We could not be happier with our choice.

A gem in the middle of Ohio
By Marco R., From Wooster, OH
The College of Wooster is a fantastic opportunity for anyone looking for a high-quality liberal arts experience. The welcoming and supporting community of students is engaged with academics and social life.

Great Experience, Great Learning Environment
By Oria D., Class of 2021, From Cincinnati, OH
I have had a fantastic experience at the college of Wooster. The small class sizes make the professors accessible, and it is easy to participate in a wide variety of clubs and other activities. I feel like I know a wide variety of people through different classes and organizations. Wooster can be expensive, but financial aid (both from Wooster and outside scholarships) makes it manageable and the money is put to good use throughout various programming. APEX is a great resource for students looking to graduate school, internships, study abroad experiences, and almost anything else. Overall, my experience so far with faculty and other students has been great. Some of the residence halls are in slight disrepair, but Wooster is in the process of renovating all of the residence halls, so that hopefully won't be a continuing problem! Great college, Great experiences, great classes.

My happy place
By Rebecca, 2020, From Ohio
The College of Wooster is a place like none other. The people here-students, professors, faculty, and staff- are some of the nicest people I have ever met. Being a student here is incredible because of the connections and opportunities we have. APEX, Study Abroad, Sophomore Research just to name a few, have really expanded my horizons in terms of education and looking forward into my career. I love the city of Wooster, as the downtown area has many locally owned businesses and restaurants. Stopping there is a must!

A phenominal institution that has my highest recommendation
By Kate T-G, Class of 2020, From Huntingdon, PA
The College has a faculty that are talented, engaging, and passionate about the academic enrichment of their students. The campus is full of intelligent, diverse, open-minded, collaborative individuals who are genuinely excited to grow, learn, and connect. The campus is beautiful and vibrant, and there are so many wonderful special-interest organizations in which students can get involved. It is truly a special place that nurtures each person that passes through it. Choosing this school is the best decision I have ever made, and although it has prepared me well for what comes next, I will be very sad to leave.

An amazing place to call home
By Korri P, Class of 2020, From Wooster,Ohio
I moved from the deep south of Atlanta, Ga to come to Wooster and have an unforgettable experience. I have met amazing students, professors, and staff who truly are the most talented and creative people in the world. My ability to participate in different ways of life and experience different cultures in a welcoming environment truly makes The College of Wooster an amazing place to call home.

Becoming my best self
By Mia P-T, Class of 2020, From Chicago, IL
Wooster surprised me. I was considering not visiting the college and I'm glad that I did - I was able to see the various academic and social resources the college provides, coupled with the friendly community of student, staff, and faculty. I have been able to see the endless opportunities and have seen how Wooster cares about not only what you do on campus, but also preparing for what you do in the summer time and thinking about your future after Wooster. Professors on campus are genuinely interested in the ideas you have and students are always willing to lend a hand. The college has helped me come out of my shell with the various jobs and organizations that I am apart of.

The Friendliest College in Ohio
By Georgia, From Berea, OH
The College of Wooster has been a perfect fit for me. The liberal arts style has enabled me to pursue STEM, art and art history, music, athletics, greek life, and more. I feel like my education is more well rounded than if I had attended a large state school. The professors are incredibly supportive and are always happy to answer questions, go more in depth with the material, and encourage you to step outside your comfort zone and take difficult classes. Most importantly, however, is the atmosphere of The College of Wooster. When I visited campus in high school, I could tell that the people here were special, and after spending a year and a half on campus I know that that is more than true. The students, faculty, and staff are the kindest people I have ever met. The atmosphere is incredibly supportive rather than competitive and students and faculty really want to make meaningful connections! Students that go to The College of Wooster are typically involved in many activities, so students get to meet so many different people of different interests and backgrounds.

The school that has become my home!
By Anna, Class of 2020, From Mariposa, CA
The College of Wooster was the perfect fit for me and I couldn't be happier here. The support system on this campus has allowed me to play volleyball, take interesting and challenging classes both in and out of my major, pursue internships, study abroad in Denmark, and so much more. I feel very grateful to be on a campus where professors and other faculty are invested in me as an individual and care about my success.

Great Sense of Community
By LB, Class of 2021, From Tiffin, OH
Wooster is a great college to attend if you are really looking for a sense of community among students, staff, and faculty. The college does not have a competitive atmosphere among students and everyone is willing to help everyone. Furthermore, students from all backgrounds are able to come together not only for school work, but also during extracurricular activities or events that are important to the campus community.

Great school!
By Colleen, Class of 2019, From Connecticut
Wooster has allowed me to pursue opportunities I never thought possible. Not only did they help me fit a double major (one STEM, one humanities) into my four years here, but also an entire semester abroad! The campus is so friendly and welcoming, the professors are smart and passionate, and the food is great. I couldn't imagine going to school anywhere else.

Wooster makes you better
By Maya, Class of 2021, From Ann Arbor, MI
I have loved The College of Wooster ever since I stepped foot on campus for a tour my junior year of high school. The campus is filled with incredible students and professors, and the campus community is super warm and welcoming. Coming from a small high school, I really wanted those close relationships and that is exactly what Wooster offers. Professors will challenge and push you to your academic limits and the curriculum is designed to make you the best you can be, as well as an attractive candidate for graduate programs or jobs.

A great, academic bubble to grow/develop in!
By Gerald D. Class of '21, From Philadelphia, PA
The College of Wooster, so far, has been a great experience. The friends I have, the courses I take, and the extra curricular activities I am part of have all exceeded my expectations of what it means to be at college. Yes, there are some parts of the College which seem lack luster (like being in the middle of Ohio's farm country), but overall Wooster is a great "bubble" of a space which helps graduate-level students prepare for the next step in their lives, whatever that may be.

Fabulous Place to Call Home
By Alysa Class of 2020, From Wooster, OH
The College of Wooster has been a marvelous place to call home for the past 3 years, and as my final year approaches I'm sad to see it end. But thankfully Wooster has prepared me incredibly well for my future.

I picked the perfect college for me!
By bferling, Class of 2020, From Wooster, Ohio and Medina, Ohio
I have loved every second of my time at the College of Wooster. Coming from a very large public high school, where all of my high school peers went to large public universities, I found myself not only having to challenge myself academically, but also socially, and Wooster has allowed me to do just that. Wooster presents all of the best opportunities for students, such as extracurricular (music opportunities, Greek Life, club sports, academic clubs), academic resources (APEX, academic advising, accessible professors), and a welcoming campus (Knowlton Commons, Old Main Cafe, Lowry Student Center fire pit). Wooster has a diverse student body that loves celebrating many traditions, such as filling our campus arch with snow, congratulating our seniors on completing their undergraduate research, and listening to bagpipes throughout the year! Regardless of if you are looking for a small college or a large university, a liberal arts curriculum or not, take some time to visit the College of Wooster, as you will not be disappointed.

Wooster is a special nurturing environment
By Katie, Class of 2021, From Wooster
Wooster is a place where students can benefit from both a multi-faceted liberal arts and a research education through the Independent Study. What makes it so special, however, is the mentorship, both academically and non-academically, that is available throughout your entire time at the college.
