Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Wooster may not be perfect. But although there are aspects of the school that students wish they could change, most say that overall they couldn’t see themselves at any other college. They say the combination of its small size and involved campus community provides an atmosphere that makes them happy to call Wooster their home. Learning transcends beyond the classroom, and professors treat students as a person, not a number.

Wooster, Ohio is obviously not a glamorous destination spot, but the College of Wooster is much more than just where it is located. Instead, the memories you make and friendships you gain are what are important. And decades after graduating, alumni love to see the familiar cornfields and cows, reminding them of their college days at Wooster.

Independent Study - and More!

Independent Study is definitely what makes Wooster unique. A senior thesis basically on the level of a dissertation is scary and exciting. But there are also dozens of different student organizations to get involved in, and tons of ways to get involved outside Wooster, such as internships and study abroad.
