Greek Life

Greek life is pretty good especially for frats, where there are multiple options. Sororities have less options, but thats where you will find almost all of the attractive girls. Socially greek life is really fun and do a good amount for the community. Its definitely worth your while on this small campus. P.s. Tau Kappa Epsilon (TKE) was founded at wesleyan and is now the largest frat in the world.

Parking Is No Problem

We are so spoiled with parking that we complain when we have to park a row away from where we wanted. There are plenty of lots and street spaces. No matter where you park on campus, it isn't too far away from where you want to be. Parking is free and available to all students.

I Feel Safe, but There Have Been Some Surprises

Personally, I feel safe walking alone across campus at night (though this probably isn't the smartest thing to do). A girl on my floor did get robbed in our dorm parking lot and I have heard some stories of armed robberies and even a violent attack on an innocent student. The campus is small and people here really do look out for each other. There are a lot of blue lights on campus and security is around, but things like that can happen everywhere. The security alert system is also way too slow, but that is being updated.
