Coming to Wheaton is one of the best decisions I ever made. The person I have become over 4 quick years is better than my wildest dreams, and I wouldn't trade my experience here for anything. I have learned here more than you can teach in a classroom through incredible professors and student groups. Such a great value

Coming to Wheaton is the best decision I've ever made. I would never want to be anywhere else for such a formative time of my life. I definitely overcommit to things to be involved but that's because there are so many worthwhile opportunities. Wheaton wants you to succeed in life and makes every effort to help you get there. You can't beat it.
Overall 4.6
I love Wheaton and the worst part about it is having to leave; but I understand students who have bad experiences here. You kind of have to be built for this school. What I mean is if you aren't willing to put in work to grow academically and spiritually, it will be a challenge. If you come here with passion and a strong faith, you'll be alright.

Wheaton is an amazing and beautiful place! From the campus itself to the students and professors, it is overall an incredible institution! The tight-knit community here is one of the highlights of my Wheaton experience. There has not been a single moment when I have regretted my decision to come to Wheaton College.

Chicago is close by and the town is super safe. But, it's closed-minded and VERY conservative. Nice but not high-caliber professors, and the student population is homogenous (wealthy,white,religious). I'm looking forward to going to a different college for graduate school that has academic rigor and accepts different ways of seeing the world.
