Close Campus Feel!

Introduction
if you like a lot of classroom dialogue, if you like projects over tests, a close campus feel, for your professors to know you by name and invite you over to dinner or give you thier cell phone number in case of emergency, then Wheaton is the place for you. If you don't like the idea that a professor may bring their dog to class while pondering post-modernist thought, then don't come here.

Campus Life and Social Life
Yeah, Wheaton is in a sleeply little suburb but perfectly close to Boston and Providence. The free bus service, the GATRA, can bring you to the train station, where you pay a small fee to get into either city in, depending in where you want to go, 20 minutes to an hour. Campus is really safe and you don't have to worry about the cost of city living.

Partying: Wheaton doesn't have frats but the "theme houses" are basically the unofficial replacement for them. There is the Sexualities House the Political Diversity House etc. That's all bullshit, all the houses are are frats, minus the exclusivity. Basically, if you want beer or to go to a party, you just walk in. Public Saftey Officers on campus are mostly pretty chill. Most of them genuinly just want to make sure that people are safe and that's it. They won't clear out every party just because.

During the week, everyone chills in the Dimple, our quad with beach towles and homework. It's a great environment. Advertisement
Academics
The work load is fairly heavy, but like at all schools, it depends on how good of a student you are. I do know a lot of kids who've been kicked out for failing to maintain a 2.0. There are no TAs except for language ones and they don't do anything but provide another accent in an extra class a week to listen to.

Student Body
Most students are from the North East or California. We do have a growing amount of international students and a lot of prep school kids. Right now we represent almost every state and I think about 40 countries.

In Closing...
Wheaton really is a great school. Any place that has a race (the traditional head of the peacock) in which you cross the campus pond in self constructed rafts bearing names like, "SUCK IT" has to be.
