I love it! My brother went there and had a great experience and now I am. I met most of my best friends in college and get a lot of support from my teammates. There are many opportunities to get involved that can depend on your major or what class your in or even what dorm your in. Kansas Wesleyan really encourages people to get out of their room and meet new people or try new things. And always uses the power of And.

  8. What do you consider the worst thing about your school? Why?

    The worst thing that I would consider about my school would be the food variety and often the quality. The cafeteria food is not always the greatest, but we do have an alternative cafe in the student activities center which is usually good, but often is not. I wish there were more opportunities to fix food independently and more options to choose from within the cafeteria. I also think there should be options for the meal plan as well instead of one distinct meal plan for everyone.
