<p>Can you tell me everything you know about Wheaton College in Norton Ma. We visited an open house and my D liked it vey much. I am interested to hear from students or parents of students that attend there.</p>
<p>definitely an up and coming school. a hidden gem.</p>
<p>I attend there in the late seventies...when the dinosaurs roamed the earth. It was a women's college back then. Great academics, nice campus. I ended up transferring out. I had not realized how out in the middle of nowhere it is. They really tout that they are halfway between Providence and Boston, but without a car the transportation back then was terrible and I really felt isolated and frankly socially bored. It was like one big sorority where if you weren't part of the right crowd there wasn't much to do. As I said this was a long time ago. The academics back then were great. I transferred to a large state University. Really preferred it socially, the academics were not as good. Because it is a small school, toward the second year it felt a little like high school and I was definitely ready for something more.</p>
<p>Daughter of friend attends and she has been pleased with the academics, interactions with profs and close knit community. Negatives include dining hall food and tiny town with little to do.</p>
