Wheaton College is a prominent, close-knit college community that emphasizes
people. South of
Boston, Massachusetts, Wheaton is a 'home away from home' for many
people. Professors and students actually know each other and
work extensively together.
Despite the tendency of many of its students to complain, giving little acknowledgement to everything that is being made available to them, this is a place where bright kids learn, contribute and make life-long friendships.
Wheaton is a place where
people are taught to think about how they can contribute to the world more than just compelling them to enter the
work-force as anonymous drones.
Contrary to popular belief, Wheaton is not teeming with collar poppers and trendy fashionistas. It is home to one of the countries largest populations of scholarship-supported students in a small college setting and has produced three Rhodes scholars in the last five years.
