College Overview: Wesleyan University

Wesleyan University: Wouldn't be happier anywhere else
Wesleyan is the epitome of a quality liberal arts school. Just small enough so you have lots of seminars and actually know people when you walk around campus - just large enough so you actually have decent course offerings and still run into new people you haven't met.
