I received an excellent education from Wesley. I look back with fond memories of my teachers and coaches. I would recommend Wesley to anyone who wants an intimate college setting in which you will actually get to know your professors and they will get to know you, where the athletics are competitive, and the campus is historical and beautiful.

I feel like Wesley will help me down the road. The profs in the business school are very helpful and caring. I like it so far.

Wesley is a joke and has been one big disappointment for me! Professors cancel class way too much, the buildings are all falling apart, Residence Life is no help, and the Administration is incompetent and oblivious. The only 2 real academic programs here are nursing and history. So unless you're a History or Nusing major, look somewhere else.

Wesley College is an overpriced high school. The administration has free reign over the students, and no matter what you do to the contrary, they always will. I was expelled on hearsay, with no chance to defend myself or fight to stay. I just want to say thank you, Wesley College, for the worst college experience imaginable.

Ok so Wesley is pretty terrible if you aren't an athlete or there on scholarship. Extremely overpriced for nothing, location is terrible, not safe at all. Then socially if you are not "hip" to what everybody else is doing you will feel left out. If you don't party every weekend to them you are boring. Couldn't wait to transfer.

Wesley is a glorified high school. Not much to do on campus, a lot of the student body are rude and inconsiderate of others who enjoy learning. Terrible surrounding with a shooting or mugging every other night. Extremely overpriced! Would not recommend.

I found Wesley college to be a school for the juvenile and imbecilic. Not just the Students but, most of the faculty and administration. It always felt more like a money grab than a college. I was harassed and abused and the administration did nothing! They should all be shut out of their positions. I doubt it has changed much!

The terrible school with terrible students. the only thing good about Wesley is certain teacher. If you are thinking about going to school do not. lot of the student transfer. Wesley is more like a community college that you pay too much money to go to. But if you play any sport or have no good future then go here, you will be with your kind.
