Nice Campus, just horrible staff and "racist higher ups"
Overall, Southern Wesleyan University is a great school to attend. The class sizes are small which allow for more personalized learning, and all of the professors are great. The atmosphere at SWU is also unlike one at any other school. Everyone here genuinely cares about you as a person, whether they be the professors, coaches, or other students. SWU has the most welcoming, friendly, and genuine atmosphere of any university I have ever visited. That alone puts it above the rest when deciding what university is the right one to attend.
I love the atmosphere right when you set foot there. Everyone has the same goal and it's to keep wanting more in life. I feel at home the last feel times I've been to visit. The tiny class setting is going to be so helpful to interact and understand.
I love the small, intimate atmosphere that Southern Wesleyan University provides. Small class sizes and approachable professors are an added bonus. It is great to know that i am not just a number; I am a valued person and am being prayed for daily.
The fall 2020 acceptance rate for Southern Wesleyan University is 55%. 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 _____.
Our college is God focused and good if you want your son or daughter to have good people around for good influences. It's fun, and when theres nothing to do there's always the random trps to wal-mart. We make it fun.
The worst part about Southern Wesleyan University is the inflexability of options in choosing which courses to take each semester. Because SWU only has a small number of professors, especially in the Religion Division, certain courses are only offered at certain times. Professors are very helpful and accomodating to seniors who are in danger of not graduating on time because of this, but as a freshman I was completely in the dark when trying to plan out my future college career. It was very difficult for me to even get any advance planning done at all.
Someone that is focus and a Christian.
Southern Weselyan is diversified by offering an AGS program in several cities and i am a current AGS student.
I wish I had known that people were so friendly. It was not as scary as I thought it was going to be :)
If you are looking for a cold, impersonal school with apathetic professors and thousands distant peers, then SWU is NOT for you. The classes are small, and faculty are willing to go above and beyond to help you succeed. The students are among some of the most kind and caring people you will ever meet.
My classmates are very close and friendly.
The atmosphere is the best thing. Everyone is so kind and has up-lifting spirit. The Chirstian atmosphere is genuine and nice.
Sometimes I feel that minorities are seen as the black sheep. We don't get many events, nor invited to some. I was quite sad to see many students (and even facutly and staff) treat minorities a little differently. Pretty shocked for this to be a Christian school. Expected so much more.
The classroom at my school is like the typical high school classroom in regards to size and atmosphere.
Social life, community, spirituality, classes are interesting
My school is best known for its quality education with a christain perspective.
