Virginia Wesleyan College Top Questions

The type of person that shouldn't attend Virginia Wesleyan is one that does not want to achieve a top notch edcuation. If you do not want to learn there is no sense on wasting the money. I've already witnessed kids being kicked out of school or being placed on academic probation.

I put God first and I will work to achieve them not only for myself but for God and my family.

A person who is going just to blend into the background and party. Our school is very far from being uncaring, and it's a rare professor that does not take an interest in how an individual is doing, some going so far as to come out of their way to make sure that you understand what's going on, even if you don't quite get it. The people who do not excell or make it past the first years are the people who came to do nothing.

Also, any person who has active parents should not make this school their first choice (as this school would rather the student handle all issues. Parent's arent really welcome for many situations).

They allow you to become independent and build the life you long to live.
