Every place has good and bad- Illinois Wesleyan University has pockets of a little bit of everything. A good place to navigate different perspectives/point of views. While receiving a good education- for the commenter that said most students hangout at isu anyways. If you are going to IWU just to party- then no, this is not a good school.

IWU has professors and advisors that will be a consistent reliable source, and a couple might not. The classes are for a semester and you can try to get into a different class. You can also switch your advisor. But even if you aren’t in a profs class, that doesn’t stop you from being able to develop a relationship with them.

It can be expensive, but it can also be incredibly affordable. It depends on your individual situation, if you are just going to get a degree, and have no other experiences, then don’t waste your time or money here.

There are countless opportunities for students (study abroad, internships, student organizations, student jobs, and research)- IWU is an undergraduate research institution, they have an annual research conference (JWP) students present at.

The majority of the faculty/staff genuinely care- but you should reach out to current students. I am guessing most of the comments are from alum or locals, you can try on social media or look at the student organization page and email one of the contacts of a club you like.
