Victor - 09/15/2023

This is my first semester at Roberts and so far it has been great. Everyone is helpful and the campus has a fun and cozy atmosphere. I love that it's a Christian college because I am able to learn more about God by attending chapels as well as in some of my classes.

Cierra

Roberts Wesleyan College is an outstanding place for an individual to grow in their education as well as their faith. When I had visited the campus I truly felt at home. All of the professors I met were kind-hearted and they seemed genuinely interested in helping students to succeed. The student and teacher ratio is small enough where a student can get one on one help from a professor in any subject being taught to them. At Roberts Wesleyan they make students and faculty safety top priority with video camera's, and security officers. My parents and I were happy to see the steps made to keep the facility safe.

Alexa

A welcoming diverse group of students with strong Christian influence and plenty of opportunities to plug into

Kyle

It is my dream college life and I wouldn't want to commit to any other college then Roberts Wesleyan.

  15. What is your overall opinion of this school?

    The best thing about Roberts is the professors and education you receive. The class sizes are small and the professors have the opportunity to know you and provide assistance when you need it. Roberts is very small which works for me. I wanted my undergrad to be at a smaller college where the focus was more on academics. I think the biggest complaints are the lack of anything to do on campus. The college does make an effort to provide campus activities but it could be better.
