Wilkes Stereotypes

  • That we're snobs. (We're really not!)

  • Pharmacy is the best major. No! It's not true—it's good, but there are better schools for it.

  • Some people say that the city makes the school look really bad, but if you avoid certain areas, you will be fine.

  • Lots of people will say that there is nothing to do at Wilkes outside of school, and actually that is somewhat true, considering where it's located. But it's all about what you put into it at.

  • There is a stereotype that a Wilkes education is second-rate. However, Wilkes graduates are producing ESPN shows, developing medications, and taking a lead in city revitalization. A Wilkes education prepares you for immediate success in your chosen field.
