Worst of Wesleyan University

Off Campus Housing

There is very minimal to no off campus housing for undergraduate students at Wesleyan. Whether it be in General Residence houses, Program houses, or Wooden Frame houses, students almost never have to/nor choose to live on campus. In fact it proves to be only a small handful of people. But what is available still remains relatively close to campus but in a slightly rough neighborhood.

Small Town & Good Restaurants

Main street is really the only thing that Middletown has to offer other than the Connecticut River which is a beautiful place to explore. Main street has a good selection of cuisine - nothing spectacular but a good variety. The area around the school has a lot of good hiking and nature activities if you are into that. The local attitude towards Wesleyan students varies but as with most college cities, the students are perceived to be much more privileged than the locals.
