Caleb - 12/13/2020

It is hands down one of the best well rounded college in my opinion. It has everything that a college student would want. It has the small class sizes, so you don’t feel lost. It has professors that are accessible and that are always there for you. They take their athletics very serious. They also have the best facilities I have seen.

Brian

Wabash is great college for a select group. Wabash College is an all-male, liberal arts college. The professors are easily accessible at anytime, and that has helped to foster close friendships between professors and students. The professors are committed to the student and that is something I value about the college. The housing is great if a student lives in one of the new dormitories. I have high regards for Wabash College. It is a very welcoming college and dedicated to educating its very studious pupils.

Zackary

I love Wabash college. It is small and class size is small. What I am looking for. Everyone is so polite and helpful. They are all true gentlemen in the sense of the word. Everyone seems to look out for everyone and help as well as make everyone feel at home. Even the faculty and staff are extremely helpful and want to to see everyone succeed. I love the tight brotherhood.

Noah

Wabash College is a fantastic school that is based on tradition. We pride ourselves on education. If we see a peer struggling, the students take it upon themselves to help one another out. The class size average is about 15 students to one professor. The professors are available nearly every day for extra help. Wabash makes you a better man as you become more mature, humble, humane and knowledgable throughout your time there.

Wabash College FAQS

  1. What is the Acceptance Rate at Wabash College?

    The fall 2020 acceptance rate for Wabash College is 62%. That means, out of _____ applications received in 2020 , _____ students were offered admission. The number of males who applied was _____ vs the number of females which was _____.

  2. What should every freshman at your school know before they start?

    Be prepared. When going to college, especially Wabash, you need to know it takes some serious buckling down. At the end of the semester if you buckle down you will be prepared for your final papers and exams more than your fellow classmates. Make sure to take breaks and have some fun during studying, also. If you study nonstop without breaks you will get burnt out and less work will be done than a person who takes a break, so shoot a game of pool or exercises to eliminate stress. Do the homework whether you want to or not. I know that postponing an assignment for a while is not a good choice. By writing a paper a couple of days in advance life becomes easier. I know this seems obvious, but it needs to be done more. A last comment that needs to be said is don't be afraid to help and meet people. This allows you to build relationships for future classes and friends. College is a building experience where you learn to read, write and become a viable employee, but it takes serious sacrifice and willingness to do it.

  17. What is your overall opinion of this school?

    The best thing about Wabash is the closeness and comaraderie developed between the students. When I tell people I go to Wabash, one of the immediate responses is always, "Isn't that that all-male college?". The next question that comes from their lips is generally, "Why?". The town of Crawfordsville, where Wabash College is located is not the greatest of college towns. It is generally known for its drug-related reputation and its lack of things to do. At Wabash College there is a wealth of school pride and just about every student shows it. I think the most frequent student complaint is that the school is too hard and there are no girls around.

  18. What are the most popular student activities/groups?

    There is a definitive change on Friday afternoon and that is when Wabash goes from hardcore academics to weekend life. That can include performances at the fine arts center experience indiana trips (last year I saw the Vienna Boys Choir paid for by them) and a host of other events. The brothers in my fraternity also make regular trips to neighboring schools for the female aspects of social life and fraternities are active on the weekend as well.

  19. What is the stereotype of students at your school? Is this stereotype accurate?

    That since we are all men we must be very brutish, rude, and mean to women. That is the farthest from the truth. Each man you meet at Wabash is a gentlemen. It is something that we all have in common, and we take very seriously.
