WHAT I LIKED
W&L provided a setting where I was challenged to grow academically and socially. I was able to be involved in extracurriculars while taking a difficult course load. The community is warm and accepting and was great to be a part of during my 4 years there.
WHAT I didn’t LIKE
There isn't very much diversity at W&L, which can be a challenge for students who come from diverse backgrounds.
