Good reviews
Overall 4.4
KWU is a great community. It is very centered around athletics, however, if going to school for a sport, it means that everyone is very understanding of having to miss class and such for competition. In a great town, Salina has a decent amount to do and isn't too big, isn't too small. The class sizes are small and you don't get treated as a number.

Absolutely love it at Kansas Wesleyan! There are so many connections that can be made with the community early on to help resume-build and meet potential employers. Salina is a big enough town to the point that there are things to do, however, not too big where it is considered a big city. The professors really care about you as an individual!
