[quote=Anonymous]Grad here. Many of the pros have been mentioned:

Amazing, friendly accessible professors
Small classes
Beautiful campus
Excellent preparation for pre-professional
Study abroad houses 
Great size. Not so tiny everyone knows everyone. But small.

Neutral (kid dependent) :

Very Greek . I wasn’t, and had a great social life.  But Greeks dominate.

More conservative than many schools— old school Republican, not Trumpian

Negatives:

It’s Southern and race issues (black/white) have made depressingly little progress.

WFU is very isolated from W-S physically, and W-S is not a college town.  And is pretty disappointing for a DMV kid. I grew up near WFU and still go back to see relatives. My parents insist the arts scene is awesome. It’s not.  It’s just a lot better than it was 20 years ago.

The campus being physically isolated means Greek parties (which are often open) dominate social life. It’s a school where having a car on campus should be very. Very helpful.

Their humanities programs hear kids for professional school.  It is not known for and doesn’t do a great job producing humanities PhD candidates.  Non-premed STEM (CS, physics, math)  are the weaker departments.

If you are a smart, wealthy, white pre-med, pre-law, pre-business kid who wants to do Greek, are preppY and good with a drinking heavy culture, you will love it. If you are “different” in Race, class, goals, That difference might not be celebrated.
