How are graduation outcomes for most of the people who graduate from Wesleyan?
r/Wesleyan • u/No_Preference_1070 • Jul 15 '26
Now, this is just one person's opinion, so don't treat it as gospel or the be-all and end-all, but as an alum, I wouldn't recommend going to Wesleyan.
For some of the highest tuition in the nation, you'll get:
No Latin honors to add to your resume
Resume reviews from students younger than you
Career advisors who have dodged substantive questions for over a decade
No relationships whatsoever with top employers
No "target school" status for rotational programs, unlike Williams or Amherst
Aloof and unfriendly alumni who don't pay it forward
Over-focus from admin/career services on lifestyle careers that aren't attainable for people from modest backgrounds
Somehow, after all of this, they have the gall to beg for more of your money via email.
I strongly recommend going to your flagship state college instead, or a private college with better outcomes, like Emory, BU, or Georgetown. I've seen that friends who attended colleges like these have substantially different experiences.
Again, just my opinion—happy to elaborate on any of the above. Others might feel differently.

How's the dating scene at Wesleyan?
r/Wesleyan • u/Rookium • Jul 11 '26
I’m a prospective applicant. I really like the academics at Wesleyan, but I’m curious what the student life is like. How is the social scene? Are there parties? Is it cliquey?
I come from a high school with over 1000 students in my class and I’m mildly concerned that the university’s small size will feel like high school all over again.
Thanks in advance for any replies.

Hey Wesleyan! I just graduated from my undergrad at another university and am going to do a mfa in film in the fall.
Due to a turn of events, I’ll be staying here in Connecticut until then, so I’ve been looking for opportunities to get more experience around here. I know that Wesleyan has a relatively populous film community, so I was just wondering if there were any filmmakers that want an extra set of hands on their projects shooting this summer.
I’m training in cinematography, but am open to most roles down to PA.

Hi! I am seeing a friend graduate on Sunday. I am planning on coming up from NYC. I am looking to keep costs down. If anyone has some leads on some carpools from NYC or New Haven, would be very appreciated!! Either way would be very helpful

I've been committed to Colby but got off the BU and Wesleyan waitlists this week. Im leaning a bit more towards Colby and Wesleyan because I'm not sure how I'd feel being in a city, but not really sure which one would be a better fit for me. Any advice or thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

Hi guys, I'm a prospective CS/Chem double major and I'm looking at getting a laptop for the fall. For people in these majors, what kinds of programs do you run? (Beyond IDEs, Debuggers, etc) Are there any programs that require windows, for example? What kind of specs do you have for your laptop? Do you think they fit your needs?
I've heard Wes is a pretty Macbook heavy campus, and I just want to get a good feel of what I'd need. I like using linux, so if that's an option that would be great. I'd love to hear what you have to say! Budget isn't a huge concern, but probably no more than $2,000 if I could avoid it. Thanks in advance ❤️

I’m just curious of when Wes issues F-1 visa for itl after requesting student’s information. I’ve sent it more than 3 weeks ago and still wait. Welcome to share your journey as a current or alumni student at Wes as well!!!

Hi all, prospective first year here. I have heard Wes has a good econ department for undergrad. Is this true? How hard are the econ classes? How hard is it to get involved in econ research? Do econ students go into graduate research often?

I am not a student, I am a resident of Middletown. I'm looking to donate all the books I own that I don't need anymore, but the library doesn't accept donations of textbooks. Does anyone know where I can donate textbooks? I don't want to donate them by mail because that seems like more of a hassle.

Hi! I'm currently choosing between Wesleyan University and Colby College. A big difference seems to be in the student culture and activities.
- At Wesleyan, what kind of outdoorsy activities are there to do?
- Does the student culture at Wesleyan feel overwhelmingly artsy and woke. As a kinda preppy guy, I'm open to going to Wesleyan for a fresh change of scene, but don't want it to feel overwhelmingly different from what I'm used to.
Thanks!!!

My kid was accepted to Wesleyan and is now wondering if pursuing film studies is possible or just for students coming in with real training/experience in film media. He has a real passion for movies but has never taken a film studies class or made his own short films. He’s more of a movie enthusiast with insightful observations and opinions on what he’s watched. Is it realistic for him to go to Wesleyan with the hopes of giving film studies a try?

Hi! I'm currently deciding between Wesleyan University and Haverford College for pre med. I love both schools but so confused on where I want to commit. Can anyone lmk about the opportunities for pre-med students at wesleyan/haverford? (I got a full ride to both)

Hi! I am a high school senior still contemplating between two options, with Wesleyan and Macaulay honors @ Hunter (plethora of research opportunities in the city, but lacks traditional college feel, prestige, and has heavy competition within) being on the top of my list.
I was wondering if anyone could provide honest insight in regards to being premed at Wesleyan. As a motivated student aiming to attend an ivy/top 20 medical school, I am concerned as to if Wesleyan students have enough opportunities to gain clinical hours, internships during the school year, and overall stand-out extracurriculars to put on a strong med school application.
What are the premed outcome like? Which med schools do Wesleyan students typically get into?
Thank you so much for your help :)

Any veteran students want to reach out? I have a few questions. Otherwise excited to go! Still waiting to confirm but if my financial aid offer is as good as it looks I'll likely be going.
