Why Wes: Wesleyan’s tight-knit, collaborative learning environment is perfect for people like me, who want to be able to take advantage of all of Wesleyan’s plentiful opportunities without getting lost in the crowd. Wesleyan also offers numerous unique opportunities for FGLI students which helped me gain the confidence necessary for navigating college and academia as a whole. Lastly, the breadth of ideas and passions between all Wesleyan students helped assure me that attending a college close to my hometown did not mean that I would not be able to challenge my existing identity and develop as a person.
Why I love being a tour guide: Although I grew up only around 25 minutes away from campus, I never thought of myself at Wesleyan until I visited as an admitted student. My experiences during WesFest and my tour truly opened my eyes to Wesleyan’s vibrant community and limitless opportunities. I love being able to share my own experiences at Wes and all its quirks that I’ve grown to adore. Additionally, I want to ease the stress of my fellow FGLI students by sharing all the ways in which Wesleyan can support them throughout their journey.

Why Wes: After attending a very small school for High School I knew I wanted to find a place where the student body felt engaged and connected with one another. College felt so daunting as someone who hadn’t been in a grade larger than 40, however, after touring Wesleyan I immediately felt a sense of comfort and warmth. I could really sense how strong and meaningful the bonds amongst the community were. Aspects such as required housing all 4 years and the countless clubs and organizations proved to me just how interwoven everyone truly is on this campus.
Why I love being a tour guide: I was really impacted by the tour I took of Wesleyan my senior year and I hope to also provide prospective students and families with a memorable experience that they too feel impacted by.

Why Wes? Before coming here, I was really intrigued by the “Keep Wes Weird” motto. After I while I realized that a place which can accept weirdness, that being something that is not the regular consensus, is exactly what I and people need since no one should be satisfied by the status quo and aspire for something different, weird, better.
Why I love being a tour guide: I hope people to have the great Wes experience I currently am having.

Why Wes: I love how curious the student body is. I was drawn to how friends talked about what they were learning in class, a cool article they read, or just about an idea that fascinated them. The open curriculum creates classes filled with students who are truly interested in the subject matter and feel excited to learn. It’s incredibly empowering to be in this environment and it pushes me to ask the harder questions and think more critically. Why I love being a tour guide: I love showing off how awesome Wesleyan is and all the things I love about it! Extracurriculars: Club soccer, ultimate frisbee, intramural softball, outing club, tutoring Favorite Moment at Wes: The first day back from winter break last year there was a big snow storm and everyone went straight to Foss to sledding, ski, and have snowball fights.

Why Wes? When looking at schools, I wanted the ability to explore lots of different subject areas and be able to really try new things. I knew that it was most likely not possible for me to try so many different things at a larger institution. After touring Wesleyan, I knew that it was the school for me because of how passionate all the students were and how excited they were about everything they were doing. Wesleyan looks very different due to the pandemic but it is still at its heart, the school that I chose and I am so happy to be at this school.
Why I love being a tour guide: My tour was such an important part of my admissions decision and really was the reason that I chose Wesleyan and I want to give that experience to more prospective students. I love meeting new people and sharing my experiences at Wesleyan and hope that my tour will help students decide if Wesleyan is the right choice for them.

Why Wes: When looking at colleges, I could tell that any one of the places I’d be lucky enough to be accepted to had a rigorous and diverse academic program, tons of extracurricular activities, and wonderful facilities. But at Wes, I found interdisciplinary academic paths I didn’t see elsewhere and felt that I could pursue even my most disparate of interests simultaneously. I immediately felt a sense of belonging, of warmth, and of drive from Wes students all wanting to make a palpable impact on the world. I feel that every day I’m here—both in and out of the classroom, with both friends and professors—and I know I am growing into a better version of myself and finding my passions, my voice, and maybe even my purpose.
Why I love being a tour guide: I think that the tour is one of the most important aspects of the college application process, the time when students and families are able to get a true feel for a campus. I love being part of it—sharing personal anecdotes, connecting and conversing with people from around the country and the world. I hope that prospective students make informed decisions about this chapter of their lives, and I love sharing why Wes and its community were (and will always be) the place for me!
Extracurriculars: Captain of Wesleyan Women's Rugby Team, Student Health Advisory Committee (SHAC), Wesleyan Jewish Community (WJC), Student Board Member for Chabad at Wesleyan, Intramural Softball Favorite Moment at Wes (so far): Picnicking on Andrus Field with friends on a warm fall day :) Favorite Movie: Brokeback Mountain Favorite Song: Best Thing I Never Had — Beyoncé Fun Fact: I've watched open heart surgery from inside the OR

High School: Camden Hills Regional High School
Major(s), Minors, Certificates: Latin American Studies and Hispanic Literatures double major (Government concentration)
Why Wes: The reason I chose Wesleyan to spend my undergraduate years is actually because of a mutual friend. I met him and thought he was incredible. He would not stop talking about how much he loved his school and whilst in the trenches of my applications I was extremely curious as to where he attended. That was the first time I had ever registered Wesleyan as a possibility, after that I started doing my own research. I wasn’t able to do any in-person tours and so finding other avenues for research was integral to making the decision. I was able to speak with a few others about their experience at Wesleyan and I noticed how genuine everyone seemed in their responses. It never felt like they were trying to sell me on the school, but rather inform me of the benefits as well as the realistic preferences. I think a special thing about Wesleyan is that they value the students’ desire and choice to be at the school in a linear way to their acceptance at the school. That in conjunction with the diverse, oddly specific, class options taught by engaging and empathetic professors had me convinced that I belonged at Wesleyan.
Extracurriculars: Working at Pi and as a Writing mentor for CPE, on the board for Spectrum, a participant in latin and Hip hop dance, and I have a radio show.
Favorite Moment at Wes (so far): My first dance performance was one of the best experiences I have had on this campus. The ability to have started something for the first time ever on campus and have it come to fruition was rewarding.

Why Wes? I actually picked Wes randomly from a list when applying to fly-in programs my senior year of high school. Looking more into it, Wes really caught my attention. I was accepted to visit, and that weekend changed everything for me. The students. The sense of community. The campus. I loved everything about it. Until that point in time, I knew exactly where I was headed. My passion is acting. I applied to BFA acting programs and went through the whole audition process. When it came down to it, I was torn between Wes and a BFA school. I wanted to get an education beyond acting, but I really wanted the strong training and focus that a BFA program would give me. It became one of the hardest decisions I’ve ever had to make. In the end, it was the support and love I got from Wes, before I was even a student, that solidified my decision. They answered every email, every question. They connected me with other students and faculty. They cheered me on and encouraged me, knowing there was a high chance I wouldn't pick their school. The answer for my “Why Wes” is simple. The people. They made me feel at home from 1,300 miles away, and that was what made all the difference for me.
Why I love being a tour guide: I love meeting new people and helping out any way I can. The students and support I felt waswhat made me decide to become a Cardinal, and I’m glad I get to do the same for people who are in the same boat.
Extracurriculars: Wesleyan Cheerleading, Rho Epsilon Pi, ENSEMBLE Theatre Collective, WesTHON Hospital Relations Co-Chair, and an intern for Wesleyan’s social media team.
Favorite Moment at Wes (so far): I spent this year virtual from home because of COVID, but my favorite memory so far has to be devising a show with E.T.C. this spring!
Favorite Series: I’m a die-hard One Tree Hill fan
Favorite Song: I could never pick one song, but anything country or musical theater
Fun Fact: If I could only eat one food for the rest of my life, it would be mac and cheese.

Why Wes? The people here are unparalleled. Very few schools have students who show up for each other like they do at Wes — we regularly overflow bleachers and sell out performances. It also inspires me how incredibly smart, creative, and successful everyone is in their unique endeavors. Wesleyan has been a great environment to grow in.
Why I love being a tour guide: I love interacting with prospective students from all over the world, and sharing how my time at Wesleyan has shaped who I am. I aim to really connect with the people on my tours, and enjoy that I am effectively getting paid to talk to people!

Why Wes? What originally attracted me to Wesleyan was the mock trial team, knowing Wes' program could support me in my passion for courtroom advocacy. Other reasons for choosing Wes were to be near my sisters, who both moved back east for college, to receive a well-rounded education, meet open-minded people, and live a well-balanced life surrounded by diverse peers.
Why I love being a tour guide: I love being a tour guide because I love Wes, having made my best friends and memories here. I am so lucky to share my experience with prospective students and family.

Why Wes? I chose Wes because of the flexibility the open curriculum offers. I wanted college to be a time where I explore my personal interests as well as my academic interests. During my time at Wes, I have found a love for dance from taking an introductory course, and I plan on pursuing this passion by taking more courses in the future. I was able to explore different subjects because of the open curriculum, and this helped me decide my majors.
Why I love being a tour guide: I enjoy interacting with people from all around, and I like welcoming prospective students and families to Wes. I appreciate being able to talk about my personal experience at Wes being a first-generation, low-income student of color.

Why Wes: I always loved all subjects and areas of study and wanted to go to a school that encouraged academic exploration. Coming into college, I had no idea what I wanted to study so I wanted an open curriculum. Here I was able to take classes from all disciplines, starting as a government major and ending up as a computer science major. I also chose Wes because of the people. The people at Wesleyan are passionate, smart, and creative. Students will talk about their favorite class, political theory, or indie films for hours. Students are celebrated for being different and, as a result, we are able to learn from each other.
Why I love being a tour guide: I love meeting and talking with prospective students and their families. The tour helps to humanize the college process and, for me, it was a huge part of my decision process. I enjoy making meaningful connections to help students learn about Wes.
Extracurriculars: Wesleyan Mock Trial Team, WesBurlesque, Course Assistant/Peer Tutor Favorite Moment at Wes (so far): Competing with the mock trial team at our regional tournament and spending the weekend in our team member's home!

Why Wes: I first toured Wesleyan in the seventh grade, when my sister was touring schools. I distinctly remember walking past the fishbowl in Exley and saying to myself that Wesleyan was the school for me. Fast forward to my senior year, and I'm sitting in my room, proud of myself for having finished all of my applications. My mom walked in and asked if I had done my Wesleyan application. I hadn't even added it to my list. Thankfully there were no supplements and I threw it on at the last minute. Now we're in April and I am doing a final tour of my last three schools, trying to decide. After my day at WesFest, I knew that Wesleyan was the school for me. I've loved my classes, my friends, and am so thankful for the life I am building here, and for the life that Wesleyan will help me build after I graduate.
Why I love being a tour guide: I love to talk and get to know new people, so naturally I found a job where I could get paid for that. Although I haven't finished my freshman year yet, I'm so excited to have the opportunity to share my love for Wesleyan.
Extracurriculars: I am a member of the Wesleyan Spirits, Wesleyan's lower voice (TTBB) acapella group Favorite Moment at Wes (so far): Sledding with my friends on Foss (getting back up the hill was not as fun) Favorite Movie: 10 Things I Hate About You Favorite Song: Ribs - Lorde Fun Fact: Since 2019, I've spent more time away from home than I have at home.

Why Wes? In high school, I dreaded having to decide between academics and music for college because I didn’t think I’d be able to fully pursue both passions together. Wesleyan is unique because it lets me explore many interests at the same time and even learn how they connect to one another. The campus is filled with people who are creative, intellectual, and multi-faceted, and Wes has a community that welcomes and challenges me.
Why I love being a tour guide: My favorite part of college admissions was going on tours and getting a glimpse of the community at different schools. I know how stressful the overall process can be and I want to provide a positive and exciting experience for high school students visiting Wesleyan.
Extracurriculars: Orchestra, Wesleyan Democrats, Sound Co-op, working at Wesleyan RJ Julia Bookstore, Wesleyan Jewish Community, playing piano with my band, Second Stage pit orchestras

Why Wes? I love how passionate the people at Wesleyan are. The academic culture here is collaborative rather than competitive and I know that everyone around me wants to help me succeed. Wesleyan also provides amazing opportunities to the students here. There are always professors looking for students to work in their labs, be their TA’s, or help with outside research projects. Even as a freshman I made amazing connections with faculty which helped me set up a job for the following year.

Why Wes: I went to a really small high school so I was looking for somewhere that had a smaller class size so I would be able to forge relationships and connections with my professors like I was able to at my highschool. Wesleyan’s open curriculum also drew my attention because it allowed for me to take classes that interest me. I also really appreciated the beauty of Wesleyan’s campus because a campus environment was something important to me when looking at places.
Why I love being a tour guide: I’ve loved going to Wesleyan and I really like having the opportunity to speak to others about my experiences so far in hopes of them sharing the same love I feel towards Wesleyan.
Extracurriculars: Music, ASL, and (hopefully) getting involved in Wesleyan’s Radio Show Favorite Moment at Wes (so far): Going to my friends’ different band performances!

Why Wes? I chose Wesleyan because it was the only school that I felt like I could do it all! As a recruited athlete, I was afraid I was going to have to put arts on the back burner if I wanted to keep up socially or academically. Once I visited, I saw that Wesleyan students were all doing a variety of activities and were doing them passionately. Being at Wes, I have pursued my interests I developed in high school, but I have also been able to discover new things as well. With the open curriculum I have been able to take a class in every department that I wanted to try, leading me to pick subjects that I love. The curiosity, passion, and creativity that students have at Wes is unmatched.
Why I love being a tour guide: I love being a tour guide because it lets me connect with people from all over and share my Welseyan experience. I remember how stressful the college process was, so I hope that I can give authentic insight on what it is like to be a student at Wesleyan. Wes has shaped me into the person I am today and I love being able to discuss what Wes has to offer!

Why Wes: During my college search I had a pretty specific set of criteria. I wanted a small college/university where I didn't just feel like a number, a good film program to nurture my hobby, and opportunities to try new things and explore. Wesleyan simply checked all of those boxes. But even more than that, I was struck by the collaborative culture and friendly demeanor that I encountered at every turn. After my Dad and I visited various colleges around the northeast and the rest of the country during my Junior Spring, we ranked each on a 1-10 scale in a plethora of categories, including campus attractiveness, curriculum, size, culture. etc. I ranked Wesleyan highest in just about every category. It was clear there was no other place for me than Wes, and I applied Early Decision early in my Senior Fall. Somehow, Wesleyan exceeded my expectations and I developed new passions in addition to fostering my old ones. Due to the open curriculum, I'm now majoring in two departments that I had almost no experience with prior to my arrival at Wes.
Why I love being a tour guide: I love showing people around my school! I remember when I toured Wes as a prospective student with an enthusiastic, engaged guide. It made a huge difference for me in my college search and I love that I can now give back and show new prospective students why I love Wes.
Extracurriculars: Ultimate Frisbee (I play for both the all-gender team and the men's team), Survivor: Wesleyan (our Wes version of CBS's reality show Survivor ) Favorite Moment at Wes (so far): I loved teaching a student forum to my fellow Wes students called The Social Psychology of Survivor . Seeing the students compete in challenges and endure tribal councils while learning all about the psychology underlying their actions was pretty magical. Favorite Movie: The Truman Show Favorite Song: Blu (Acoustic) by Jon Bellion Fun Fact: I have been to 49 of the 50 U.S. states. Hawaii still eludes me.

Why Wes? I chose Wes because of the flexibility that allowed me to explore around with my academic interests during my freshman year when I was still uncertain about what I wanted to do. I am also surrounded by so many students who are passionate and excited to be at Wes which makes the environment feel like home.
Why I love being a tour guide: So that I can convey my enthusiasm about Wes to prospective students and help give them advice throughout the stressful college process
Extracurriculars: Club Tennis, Club Soccer, Resident Advisor, Student Involvement Office Assistant, South Asian Student Association, Teaching Assistant for Psychology classes, Ski Team

Why Wes? Throughout high school I participated and competed in many different STEM focus groups like Advanced Mathematics, Calculator, Accounting, Agricultural Sciences but was also very active in different areas such as Art, Music Theory and Sculpting. When I became a Questbridge National College match finalist and was in the process of ranking schools, Wesleyan’s open curriculum and late declaration was a huge huge pull factor because I am INCREDIBLY indecisive. I really looked forward for the opportunity of dipping my toes into different classes and branches knowing I wouldn’t have to fully commit until the spring of sophomore year!
Extracurriculars: Coordinator for the Foster Connection, American Sign Language TA, ASHA (adolescent sexual health awareness)
Favorite Moment at Wes (so far): My sophomore year I had the privilege to live in the Womanist Program house where I met and created some amazing friendships and connections. As a house, we were able to host events open to the Wes community as well as just private housemate events, and these were always some of the loveliest moments where we were just able to bond! As an example we had a movie night, s’mores bonfire, and a Super Bowl Screening night (mainly to watch Rihanna’s halftime performance

Why Wes? I choose Wesleyan for a multitude of reasons, one being the academic flexibility that allows me to pursue the pre-medical track while also incorporating dance into my academic and extracurricular life here at Wes. I've also found the collaborative atmosphere around academics to be immensely beneficial, as it's allowed me to embrace the process of learning from mistakes. Why I love being a tour guide: Helping prospective students imagine their life here at Wes and what that could look like is really rewarding. Your tour guide can really solidify your opinion on a school, and being able to shape the way someone envisions their place on campus is a really unique experience. Extracurriculars: Precision Ensemble, FXT Hip Hop Collective, Wes Burlesque, Intramural Soccer (GO Goat Coven), TA for Psychology, Dance, and Chemistry Department Favorite Moment at Wes (so far): Performing my choreography at last year's spring dance concert.

Why Wes? For me, there were two important factors for my college selection process: academics and community. For academics, my high school had a pretty competitive environment when it came to academics and I knew that that wasn’t the environment in which I learned best. Wesleyan was such a big change in that regard since everyone is so supportive and collaborative when it comes to schoolwork and studying for exams. For community, I was blown away by the number of extracurriculars that were available at Wesleyan and the wide range of classes and student groups that people were involved in, and that made me really excited to come and get involved with as many as I could.
Why I love being a tour guide: Being on a tour was when I realized Wesleyan was my dream school and I really hope I’ll be part of that moment for others.
Extracurriculars: I’m a coordinator for the Eco-Facilitator program in the Sustainability Office (a three-semester program to work on sustainability initiatives on campus), a paleobotany lab member, I do work for Wild Wes (an on-campus permaculture garden), and I’m a member of botany club and ecology club.
Favorite Moment at Wes (so far): Definitely the silent disco. On the last night of my orientation, before all the other students moved in, we had a silent disco in the middle of Olin Library where we all had headphones with music and could change between stations to dance to what we wanted to. It felt like a perfect end to orientation and was a really memorable experience with my friends.
Favorite Movie: Mamma Mia!
Favorite Song: Changes constantly, but I’ve been listening to a lot of Kali Uchis recently
Fun Fact: I taught myself how to play the ukulele!

Why Wes: When looking at colleges, not many schools offered a high-level dance program while being academically rigorous. Many were one or the other, or only allowed me to dance but not take academic classes. I saw at Wes that there would be no problem taking both dance and academic classes. I also discovered that I have many different academic interests and although I have these contrasting passions, I saw that Wes gave me an opportunity to explore them all without restraint and allowed me to dive deep into any subject I find interesting while also shaping my education in the way I best see fit.
Extracurriculars: Member of club rugby
Favorite Moment at Wes (so far): Silent disco during orientation was a blast. I loved meeting new friends and having a dance party in our fancy library.

Why Wes? I chose Wes because of the tight knit and supportive community.

Even though Wesleyan is around twice the size of my high school, I feel much more connected to all aspects of the community.

Why Wes: Simple, the Open Curriculum. While it is one of the defining characteristics of Wesleyan it creates so much more than flexibility in class selection. It allows me the opportunity to surround myself with like-minded multi-passioned people. Through the curriculum, I am encouraged to bridge and explore my academic passions while also being allotted the opportunity to try a variety of classes I am interested in. The creative and collaborative culture at Wes finds its way into every classroom no matter the subject. The open curriculum speaks to the overall culture and drive of the students here at Wes and I wanted to be surrounded by truly passion-driven peers.
Why I love being a tour guide: I love getting to share my Wes experience and the reason why I fell in love with the school while also connecting with prospective students and hearing about their interests.
Extracurriculars: ASHA (Adolescent Sexual Health Awareness), Spike Tape Theatre, Usdan Information Desk, Outing Club Favorite Moment at Wes (so far): Every semester I am required to work two late-night shifts at one of my job here at Wes.

With these factors in mind as well as financial aid, Wesleyan was the exact place for me. Since I began my freshman year, I have been deeply involved on campus in ways that I will carry over into my life after college. From collaboration in my classes, clubs, sports, and work, I truly feel like I am part of something bigger.
Why I love being a tour guide: I love being a tour guide because I play an important role in prospective students deciding if Wesleyan is a place they can call home.

Why Wes: By the time I applied to college I’d already seen both of my two older sisters go through the process: one ended up as a D1 athlete at a big UC, the other at a small liberal arts college in southern California. Their experiences made me sure of two things, 1. I wanted the best of both worlds (shoutout to Hannah Montannah) and 2. I had to leave California. Wesleyan did, and has continued, to fulfill those conditions fabulously.
Why I love being a tour guide: Beyond the website, I had no idea what Wesleyan had to offer when I applied from my covid-quarantine-bedroom… (not so shockingly) actually arriving on campus made me realize just how much I really love being here and I love having a designated outlet to share my excitement with others!

Why Wes? Learning that students at Wesleyan were simultaneously dedicated to their academic studies while also exploring their creative sides in profound, learned ways was mind-blowing for me. The deeper I got into the college admissions process, the more and more I could only envision myself being a student at Wesleyan. Also, I quickly sensed that the community at Wesleyan was unlike that of any other college (or liberal arts school for that matter), as students were outgoing, inspired, passionate about everything to which they dedicated themselves, and eager to share their love for learning and creating with each other.
Why I love being a tour guide: Helping prospective students and their families understand why Wes might be the perfect match and why it's the coolest school in the world is a special responsibility but altogether an honor too. Also, being a tour guide helps me to get my steps in.
Extracurriculars: Argus, Second Stage, African Student Association (ASA)
