Wofford College Reviews

Wofford College has a beautiful campus, with great academic facilities and residence halls that are above average. Academically, the school's professors challenge me, but provide the resources for me to be successful. Social life includes a friendly student body, and activities that are available to all students that want to be involved, from Athletics, Arts and Music, Church-sponsored groups, to Greek Life, and many others.

The off-campus resources in Spartanburg, SC also allow students access to many other activities.

Review Wofford College

Close knit community. If you want to go somewhere not on campus you need a car. Out of 2,000 students maybe 100 are PoC. It seems about the same percentages for professors also. Professors are on the whole kind and understanding. If you’re looking for diversity maybe go elsewhere, but you will certainly leave with a good education and lots of connections.

The college has a need to like prove they're good with speaking, talking with students of color. I am a student of color. The administration is old southern white guys. Never really got to speak with them, they could've done something to prevent or handle students who were mean. I was relatively friendly, the housing arrangement was cool. Fellow students had a lingo that I wasn't involved in. I felt left-out. It spiralled out of control and soon felt turned against and a student punched me then 3 white guys ganged up on me. They actually left me bruised and beaten in a hall on the rock hard ground. Really embarrassing moment; never will forget it. There was like one guy who might've had my back, but it seemed really lonely and awkward. There were some days I thought I should just stay in my room and play video-games.
