My son is a freshman at Wooster, planning to major in geology, and he is having an incredible experience there so far. Wooster has a lot of strong science departments, offers great advising and opportunities, and really tries to find the best in each kid. I think the mandatory IS creates a very positive reverberation throughout the college experience there. Since everyone must work at a high level, every resource is there for every student and they take advantage of them. No one can drift through, they all have to find a subject they dig into deeply and produce a big piece of work. As a mother, i also like that they have an infirmary that is staffed 24/7, that’s unusual anymore. It’s a great place.
