Student Life

One of the big differences between Illinois Wesleyan and large schools is the fact that about 80 percent of Wesleyan students live on campus for all four years. Why do they like campus life so much? For many, campus is where the action is, for others, living on campus is all about friends, and for some, it's simply being able to sleep in and still make that eight o'clock class.
