The College of Wooster

I graduated from the college of wooster in 1998. I had a wonderful experience. After I graduated, I missed it so much that I often dreamt that was back and I was so happy in my dreams. When I was there, my tuition was $25,000 a year. Now tuition is $79,000 a year. This is ridiculous. If I was just starting college, the college of wooster wouldn’t be a consideration which would be sad because I had a lot of amazing growth there that I don’t believe would have happened anywhere else.

Becky from the office of campus access was incredibly kind, patient, and helpful with our early-morning requests. Very personable staff!

Our daughter loves it here and they have a first rate Archeology department!!

What a beautiful campus & gracious staff for our Annual Conference!

The conditions at this school is so terrible. Firstly, I will give props to SOME of the buildings and many of the professors, they are pretty great most of the time. However, it is quite terrible here. Multiple of the dorm halls don’t have ANY air conditioning and bats and roaches frequent many of the buildings. Literally every position is understaffed and the technology works maybe 50% of the time (Walks down to the COW C-Store to just see their software not working and needing to close the entire thing down multiple times a week, multiple times a day, is just ridiculous). Janitors are so over-worked that you have one janitor for like more than one entire building sometimes. Sometimes you walk into areas with an emergency just to find out that no one showed up to work except one person. Once you have that bad of an employee hiring problem and retention, you know its no longer a worker problem, and instead an underpaid, overworked, frustrating job. The campus is also very not handicap accessible, it’s a struggle to get anywhere if you have any sort of problem that makes it harder to walk. The food is also terrible, barely any options, if there are, it tastes bad or is instantly removed from the menu the next day, never to be seen again. Despite all this, and more, tuition is going up, even after having over 70 grand as a starting price.

The College of Wooster is a great college. Every room I have seen has been very clean (outside of individuals' clutter in their rooms). The student population is generally very friendly and outgoing. The teachers are extremely well versed in their knowledge of their subjects, and are almost always willing to go out of their way to help a student do his or her best. The kitchen and custodial staff members are very kind and out going. Some may w en go as far as saying that some custodians are almost like temporary parental figures for the students in their dorms. This college is by all means amazing.

I went to a high school of only 200 kids with a graduating class of less than 40 but I still feel that I'm receiving more personal attention at the College of Wooster. I go to extra curricular events with my professors every week. Professors I have never had class with know my name and will talk to me when I bump into them on campus, and I correspond with all of my professors through email frequently. Not to mention the students are very academically engaged.

Terrible athletics website, the facilities page doesnt even load

Wooster is highly ranked with great professors who are well established in their field and supportive of students. Independent Study is an amazing experience for the creatively driven and independent thinker. I would do it again in a heartbeat. Go there to study and develop into your best educated self. The College of Wooster provides a top-notch education. Partying is overrated and time is better spent developing the power of your mind.

Taught at this college for one year. Impression is not what I had expected before I started. Students are mislead with what the college has to offer them. From my experience teaching at different institutions, students should have been taught much better. Grades students receive don't necessarily represent what they had earned. I know many students are not competitive enough to find good jobs after graduation. Bottom line is, If you want to "learn", go somewhere else.
