Gotta give an honest review. Attended grad school from 2014-16.
Great professors, great people and extremely weird undergrad dating culture.

But they are getting one star because they lied and took away scholarship that grad students paying for school themselves need. Wheaton is expensive so I made sure to speak with someone in admissions about how scholarships work and whether or not they pro-rate if you cannot be full time because the program track you are in forces you to take classes in the summer term and J-term. I could have structured my schedule to stay full time my 3rd semester but didn’t because it didn’t make sense if they would pro-rate.

I was very happy when I was told they would pro-rate for my entire second year but sadly in late July (like 4 weeks before classes started), I was told that I would have no scholarship for the entire year. When I told them one of their representatives had told me they would pro-rate they told me I had talked to the wrong person and should’ve known to check with a different office. What a cop out. I imagined that a Christian school would have some regard for the truth. They don’t. Nothing was done to make it right. They should be ashamed.

I asked if any exception could be made to rectify this situation and they gave the old bureaucratic excuse that they would have to allow all part time students to get prorated scholarship. That is totally false. That is why it is called an exception. Again, great profs, students, but the admin is no different than any secular school. Writing this review because colleges have no accountability other than negative reviews like this.

I’ll change to a five star if they want to reimburse me the scholarship they pulled after they lied to me. Don’t trust this school. My kids will never attend and my wife feels the same way.

Top notch university, through and through. Loved my entire recruiting visit with Coach Stremler, Coach Paul, and the entire softball team. Everyone is classy, respectful, and humble, and you definitely get what you pay for on both the academic and athletic side of things. The sports facilities are amazing, and the opportunity to learn from professors that have the highest degrees in their fields is just something that you can’t pass up. You also get the opportunity to continue your relationship with Christ, which is invaluable. I loved Wheaton, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to challenge themselves to be the best that they can possibly be. Plus, if you are blessed enough to get the opportunity to play sports here, take it. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime chance that I wish I didn’t ultimately decide to pass up.

This once exceptional University has abandoned Biblical truth and taken it’s eye off the ball. In considering it for our own children, we spoke to numerous students and did extensive research. There is a very apparent deconstructionist movement embedded in the culture of the College.
