Methodist-affiliated Kentucky Wesleyan College affords students “a great Christian atmosphere� that “helps you grow into a moral and well-educated adult. KWC offers a “small college experience� complete with “small classes,� plenty of “scholarship opportunities,� and a career-oriented liberal arts program offering a “broad range of majors.� The popular business administration and management program offers a ton of valuable internships. “The campus is a very tight-knit place.� “You have the feeling of actually belonging and that you do matter[s], whereas in some larger schools there are just too many people.� The “enthusiastic� professors “are wonderful.� “They are very caring individuals� who “go above and beyond what could be expected of them.� “They also expect a lot out of their students,� although this is balanced by their efforts to “make time for students who are struggling.� “Administrators are helpful and almost always accessible,� and there is a conspicuous “lack of red tape.� Although it “gets nothing done fast,� administrators, as well as “the cleaning ladies� and “the cafeteria staff,� “actually care� and “get to know you.� Campus technology is frustrating; the Internet is “cripplingly slow.�

KWC’s “generally normal,� “regular kids� are “nice� and “athletic.� There are “not many nontraditional students, minority students, or low-income students.� Certainly, there are “not a lot of ‘punk’ types.� “Kentucky Wesleyan pretty much has two types of students,� observes a first-year student: “athletes and the rest.� Athletes come from a lot of different backgrounds. “The rest of the student body is pretty much made up of very religious White students� “from the local area,� who “enrolled in college right out of high school,� explains a senior. They come from “middle-class� families and many “are on scholarship.� AT KWC, “Many students are religious,� but “A large majority come from different denominations. However, if a student is atheist or otherwise religiously affiliated, no prejudices occur.�

“The campus isn’t very big� but it’s “safe.� “The food tastes good only during admissions events, and then it takes a nosedive.� Intramural sports are popular. “Many of the students here are athletes and very active.� “Each Tuesday there is a movie shown on campus for free.� There are “concerts, comedians, and other entertainment once a week.� “The library is a hangout place.� KWC “isn’t really a party campus,� though. It’s “a Methodist institution that wishes it [were] more Methodist, but its students wish that it [weren’t] so Methodist.� Greek life exists but it is reportedly “pretty lame.� “When guys on my hall get bored, we’ll play any sport that has no business being played inside,� claims one student. “Golf is my personal favorite because it’s so wildly dangerous.� Believe it or not, the surrounding town of Owensboro “is a great city to be in,� according to a sophomore. “There are several bars located in the area and a couple of clubs.� “There is always something to do.� Still, “life isn’t as fast-paced as it is in the big city.� When road trips become necessary, Louisville and Nashville are nearby.
