A small liberal arts school known as OWU (Oh-Woo). Kids who get in have the impression that they can sail through, but the work is demanding and a lot of freshmen flunk out. The frat scene is very busy because there is nothing else to do in Delaware, Ohio. The students are smart and kind of preppy. It's a place where you can get an excellent education even though a lot of people haven't heard of it.
Wesleyan is the short name for Ohio Wesleyan University. It is a small, but renown liberal arts college in Delaware, Ohio with a student population of 1900. It was founded by Adam Poe, a financially successful banker in Central Ohio. Originally a men's college and member of the Ohio Five, Wesleyan became co-ed in 1878 when it merged with the Ohio Wesleyan Female College. The college retains an even division of female-male students. It has a large gay population, and, just like other liberal arts schools, is known for popular recreational marijuana use.
Illinois Wesleyan University, or IWU (pronounced eye-woo), is a small liberal arts university in Bloomington, Illinois that consists of about 2500 students.
IWU is in close proximity to Illinois State University, so often there is a sense of rivalry between students at each institution. The high cost of attending IWU makes some students at ISU believe that everyone at IWU is obscenely rich. However, contrary to this popular belief nobody at IWU pays for college in cash and almost all students at IWU get some kind of scholarship/financial aid package that makes the cost much more managable.
Joe: I'm at ISU, where are you going?
Scottie: I go to Illinois Wesleyan University.
Joe: Oh you must be really rich!
Scottie: And you must be an STD-infected chain-smoker.
A small, private liberal arts college in central Ohio. Lots of preppies go there as well as a lot of smart kids who couldn't get merit or financial aid from Oberlin. Good Division III sports and an active Greek scene. A much better school than its national reputation.
