    Why Wes? I chose Wes because of the creative energy that the students and faculty cultivate. Everyone at Wes is constantly pushing themselves outside of their comfort zones and trying new things which is really important to me. I also came to Wes for the art and music scene; there is always some sort of live performance or art exhibition to see around campus. The Wesleyan community is very open-minded and all-accepting which was also a major component in my decision-making process!

    Why Wes? I chose Wes because I wanted a school where I could be challenged academically while still having the space to explore my love of music. I was really drawn in by the open curriculum and the way students are encouraged to explore their diverse interests and develop both depth and breadth of knowledge. I was excited that encountering students at Wes who are studying two completely different topics is super common. I also loved the fact the progressive independence housing model meant I would definitely have access to a kitchen all four years. I gotta be able to bake cookies at 2 am!

    Extracurriculars: Notably Sharp a cappella, Láso (Latin American Student Organization), Women of Color Collective, knitting circle

    Favorite Movie/Song/Book: My favorite movie is The Worst Person in the World, it’s a Norweigian movie that just came out and it’s so sweet and poignant and sad. My favorite book I’ve read recently is The Dispossessed by Ursula K Le Guin, which a friend recommended to me, and my favorite song right now is Heartbreak Anniversary by Giveon, but ask me again in a week and it will be different!

    Why Wes? I chose Wes because my mom and extended family are alumni, and specifically my cousin who was on the football team. We would often go to his home games, as Wes isn’t that far from home, so I had a few informal tours before I started looking. The size of the school and the campus were also exactly what I was looking for, and the freedom Wesleyan gives students with the open curriculum was a big drawing factor as at the time I wanted to try majors in completely different fields which isn’t possible at some schools.

    Extracurriculars: I’m a member of the Wesleyan Ski-team. I enjoy biking and going to the gym in my free time. I also really love cooking!

    Favorite Song: Cheesin’(feat. Still Woozy, Claud, Melanie Faye & HXNS) by Cautious Clay, Remi Wolf, Sophie Meiers

    Why Wes? I chose Wes for the people. When I toured my junior year of high school, I instantly felt that I found my group of people.

Everyone here is so excited to take full advantage of every opportunity which makes Wes such an inspiring place to be at.
