Want massive student loans? Want to get sick from black mold/asbestos? Want to leave college with health conditions? Want to lose weight from disgusting flavorless food? Want to be fined for any petty thing? Want to feel isolated and helpless from financial aid? Discriminated against for being a woman at a (formerly) women's college? Want to spend your college days being bored? Would you like to experience all of this for 5 years because of student class load in order to graduate? Want to leave college with little to no contacts or prospects of a career? Come here. They're shooting themselves in the foot and will go under in 5 years because they couldn't be any less helpful and student-friendly than what they already do, or don't do. Unless your parents are paying your way, you will acquire loans for the rest of your life. Professors are good, some not so much, so you're better off going to another college who actually want to see you graduate with minimal debt and on time and with job prospects. Getting around Wilson is herding cats, you will go to one office to be told one thing to another to hear a different thing so you're running in circles trying to get them to help which in the end makes you feel exhausted and helpless. President is sexist and elitist and is getting paid too much to run the college into the ground. Oh, and if you're a female, get ready to be marginalized. Everything is advertised and directed towards men and men's sports.

It's not that bad. I love to park outside of the parking area though, because at least people in the neighborhood are accepting me ! great school, great people, great experience so far. Of course there are ups and downs but like the ocean life has a flow, and you just need to learn how to swim ! In a nutshell what I think I want to say is that, rain is always going to fall, just don't forget your umbrella !

if I could give this school zero stars I would. i'm attending right now and it has been the biggest regret and waste of money so far. its supposed to be a small college but this year the freshman class has overrun the rest of the school at 660 some students. half the undergraduate total. they barely want to help you, the financial aid lady for Veterans affairs is rude, the food is horrendous, there wasn't hot water for a week in two whole dorm halls which consisted of 3 floors each, signed a petition and nothing was done about it, there is a NEW dorm hall that had to be evacuated due to black mold EVERYWHERE, people had to move into a near by hotel for however long its going to take to clean that mess up, the heat was not turned on until earlier this week and those who have pets that need a certain temperature were advised by res life to "take them home or give them to a friend to keep" some people have come from 3+ hours away. how would that be possible, the equitation classes and teachers are a JOKE and you WILL get hurt with their inability to teach a lesson (from personal experience I have watched a few lessons), they over charge you for everything and will fine you for every little thing you do. The residential parking pass is 185 dollars and you are only allowed to park in one small lot. I paid that much to park on a side street at the main entrance of the college. good luck finding a place to park. Good luck with the dorm rooms as well, there are so many rules about not messing anything up, but goodness people are allowed where ever they want. there are mixed gender halls to the point where almost all of my neighbors where males, and the only thing that locks are your dorm doors, and guess what no one tells you this until you get there. no feeling of safety or privacy at this school.The classes are tolerable, with the exception of a terrible math department, silly classes that do not help you major if you aren't in VMT. they don't tell you that you'll need to have a boat load of classes that will take you 5 years to complete, with 49+ credits of liberal studies courses that are a requirement of course. also, the difference between living on campus is 40,000 a year vs 13,000 to commute. I have made a three-four year course schedule plan and hardly any of those classes will help me with my job in the real world. Get your head out of the clouds Wilson.

They really have an issue in their payment offices. I will send my payment in, and they will say they have it for a while. Then about a month and a half later, I will get an email saying they never received it and now I have a late fee. Not a fun process.

Great place to walk

Alyssa Stottlemyer

I'm honestly really disappointed in this school. I emailed them repeadelty for help and they never answered and then I told them I wanted to leave the college and they answered right away???

I live on park ave and my parking in front of my house is taken by college kids that have parking passes for on campus. I have repeatedly tried to get the people of wilson to do something but they refuse to take action. They just don't care about the community

BUYERS BEWARE! I, too, could give this place zero stars, if I could. -EVERY close friend I made, from all walks of life and socioeconomic backgrounds, dropped out, including those that were in their last year. -NOT a place for friendly people. A lot of students were socially awkward, sheltered and judgmental (emphasis on the mental). I saw a lot of bullying among these kids. -terribly rude staff: the dean was like an antiquated, oppressive character out of “Jane Eyre”. (Forget about freedom of speech; she would threaten to call your parents if you spoke anything but positive about the place, like I’m a child! Otherwise, you’re required to go to counseling for “anger management”.) -the riding program, equine studies, is a joke, unless you’re a beginner, which I was not. (I was put in the advanced group, as a freshman).

I got a great education on an amazing scholarship.

I wish I could give zero stars to this place. I experience everything bad at this college including scam and rudeness. The staff are really rude. Wasted my money and time at this college. Avoid this school! their liberal studies are silly which makes you spend at least 5 years to complete. They’re not honest about the majors requirements, they are going to mixed up with many requirements that has nothing to do with your major and career!

Troy Jordan

As a parent, they make promises with scholarship money and athletic play time, and then take it away the second year. Coaches especially lied to the students during the recruiting process and have no college experience. We are leaving!

Never been here before, but I may attend school here in the future.

Wilson students and staff continually are parking in the residential area accross the street, and when we approached the president about the issue, we were brushed asside. The problem persists, even though they have plenty of parking on their premesis.
