I’m trying to decide whether or not I want to transfer. Can anyone tell me about the social (how easy it is to make friends, whether there is a place to just go and hang out that’s not in the library, etc), academic (people are only working or studying), and the partying (are people on the weekends always drunk, or is partying huge), and if the campus is big enough or is people go off campus sometimes at Wheaton College, MA?
My daughter applied, was accepted and spent an overnight there; we attended the meetings for parents. That is the extent of our knowledge of the college.
We drove around town and were dismayed at how little there seemed to be to do, how few places to go, right there in Norton. Our daughter concluded that she would have to be prepared to go into Mansfield at the very least (by shuttle), and Boston occasionally (by train from Mansfield), to find anything interesting to do off campus.
I will say the campus is very pretty in the fall.
Hopefully Wheaton students will come on the thread and reply as well.
Maybe you can also find information on the forum for Wheaton College:
