Wilson College campus every time I have visited feels like a bigger extension of my family and can not wait till I begin my college career in 2020. The softball team is amazing and so supportive of each other. The faculty and other members of Wilson College have been very friendly and full of positive and appropriate information.

Kaitlin - 01/17/2019

I really love the class sizes at Wilson. I also enjoy how small campus is because everyone is in a community. I like how professors actually care about their students. I am not a huge fan of the food in the dinning hall, but it is not awful. The dorms are pretty good unless you live in Disert Hall. They had water problems, heat problems, and it is the only dorm that has not been updated.

Hannah - 07/12/2018

LOVE WILSON!!!! Wilson is a very acedemic and fun school. I have visited Wilson a few times and loved the experience. The professors for my intended major met with me and answered all of my questions. Absolutely beautiful campus. I can't say enough about it.
