Wheaton College-Norton Top Questions

What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?

Kehley

The "connections" component of coursework can be frustrating to fulfill.

Sarah

There wasnt much I wasnt perpared for when coming to this school because Wheaton has a program in which you visit in July and intereact with fellow students as an introduction to campus so you are prepared the moment you arrive in August.

Ann

I wish I'd had the maturity to see and value my education. I wish I had had a clearer sense of who I was and what direction I wanted to go in. This was the first time I was ever away from home, and I wish that I had taken college a lot more seriously than I did.

Laura

Come into this school with an open mind. Try to meet people from different areas of the country and world because they are here - you just have to find them! There are so many opportunities on this campus but you have to seek them out.

Katie

I wish I had known how much the efforts to attract new students affected the current students by havingtheir needs often overlooked.

Amy

I wish I had known more about the financial aid packaging process, as I chose the more expensive school over a less expensive school on account of academic merit and distance from home. Knowing in advance how much money I would be awarded and how much I would still need to pay would have been quite useful.
