[quote=Anonymous]I spent 4 years at "Work Forest" feeling wholly inadequate.  When I got into the "real world" I suddenly felt smart again.  Strange experience. I was challenged daily.  My academic courses were tough.  My peers were incredibly intelligent.  I avoided the Greek Scene and still had an active and exciting social calendar.  Studying Abroad was amazing.  The relationships I had with professors was incredible.

Negatives... I honestly think that larger universities have better alumni networking.  While Liberal Arts was wonderful to study it has not been as applicable in getting a job.  Friends who attended schools with more focused and technical career paths landed jobs more easily.  WFU was great for business and premed, but other degrees you had to know someone. And due to the intense work load, competitive peers, and general atmosphere of very limited "A" grades... my gpa was only a 3.3.  Friends who went to state schools had better gpas which translated to better grad school scholarships.

Going back, not sure I would pick it again.  Loved it.  Glad I went.  But 15 years later... the decision would be made for very different reasons.  Job prospects.  Lower Tuition.[/quote]
