Dakota Wesleyan University Reviews
Rating 3.9 out of 5 136 reviews
Ever since I got here I have loved Dakota Wesleyan University. I love how they staff here and I love how they treat you like family. I also really liked how the campus is very small because I didn’t want to go to a big school. There is nothing I can say bad about this college I love going here. Another thing I like about this college is the people here all the people that are on the soccer team or any of the sports are super nice to everyone and they are always willing to help you if you are in need. All around I love going to college and I know when I leave here I will miss this place.
When I went on my visit to Dakota Wesleyan, everyone there was very welcoming and helpful, we were lost when first arriving and a student was helpful enough to give us directions to the admissions building, all of the professors that we met with and coaches all seemed very interested and helpful
I love the class size, and the ability to connect with teachers in small classroom settings. The feel at DWU is very homey, and the people are so friendly! Community members are also very supportive of the college and all students!
