Wheaton College

I came to see a little bit of the campus on a recruit visit and was shown around by the head wrestling coach Jim Gruenwald who was quite pleasant. He's one of the nicest people I've ever met! God bless Wheaton College.

Gotta give an honest review. Attended grad school from 2014-16.nGreat professors, great people and extremely weird undergrad dating culture.nnBut they are getting one star because they lied and took away scholarship that grad students paying for school themselves need. Wheaton is expensive so I made sure to speak with someone in admissions about how scholarships work and whether or not they pro-rate if you cannot be full time because the program track you are in forces you to take classes in the summer term and J-term. I could have structured my schedule to stay full time my 3rd semester but didn't because it didn't make sense if they would pro-rate.nnI was very happy when I was told they would pro-rate for my entire second year but sadly in late July (like 4 weeks before classes started), I was told that I would have no scholarship for the entire year. When I told them one of their representatives had told me they would pro-rate they told me I had talked to the wrong person and should've known to check with a different office. What a cop out. I imagined that a Christian school would have some regard for the truth. They don't. Nothing was done to make it right. They should be ashamed.nnI asked if any exception could be made to rectify this situation and they gave the old bureaucratic excuse that they would have to allow all part time students to get prorated scholarship. That is totally false. That is why it is called an exception. Again, great profs, students, but the admin is no different than any secular school. Writing this review because colleges have no accountability other than negative reviews like this.nnI'll change to a five star if they want to reimburse me the scholarship they pulled after they lied to me. Don't trust this school. My kids will never attend and my wife feels the same way.

One time, a professor tried to do a kick flip during class on my board. 10/10

I needed a change of scenery for my walk today. My neighborhood has an inordinant amount of foot-traffic which makes the social distancing difficult. So I went to Wheaton College just to meander around and,check out the Mastadon (I hadn't seen it since before it moved in 2010). It was a nice change of scenery. Beautiful campus, not a lot of people, and Perry the Mastadon is still a neat sight to visit in the suburbs!

Wheaton college is a great place to be and also to grow spiritually
