If you are looking for a smaller university with a good reputation, smaller town, access to big cities, vibrant, diverse student body, Wes may be a good fit. The University makes an effort to reach out to students and make education more personal. This is truly a liberal arts school with university opportunities.

I'm sad to be graduating soon. May take up the 5th year BA/MA opportunity, which is free, so I don't have to leave just yet.

Love the school. Professors care about their classes. Everyone is weird in the best way possible, so you find your particular strain of weird and then stick with it. You will play frisbee and sing acapella, it's unavoidable. Everyone is chill and trying to help each other succeed.
