Students Speak Out On Overall Experience

“Sometimes, the stigma on W&L is that our students are too elitist or too Southern. I'll be honest—I see a lot of people on campus who think they're the most important people in the world. It's kind of annoying, really. But on the whole, W&L students are extremely kind, down to earth, generous people who, at the end of the day, don't give a damn about what kind of car you drive or where you went to prep school. They just want to know you. At least that's the case with the people I associate with.”

“I love W&L, but there are certain things about it that you need to like if you're going to enjoy yourself. First, you have to be cool about being at a really small school. You have to be comfortable enough with yourself if you're not from the South. Second, you should probably be okay with being in the Greek scene. Also, we don't inflate grades here. Yeah, you might be really smart, but it won't be easy. It's well known that certain teachers hate on freshmen.”
