Amazing school.

Go DEACS! Wake is amazing. It is academically challenging in a good way and socially there actually is something for everyone, even if you don't like the Greek scene.

I discovered how helpful Wake was not until I compared the education and study facilities with other universities. The frats may be a major theme at Wake, but if you don't like it, get away and do things you like. You'll find a place.

Wake is awesome and I fell in love with the campus and the people. It was a great place to study and meet people. If I have to choose again I would choose no other than Wake Forest all over again.
