Students Say
Students at Wake also agree that professor accessibility is a boon to their education. Indeed, the faculty makes a concerted effort to “actually know your name and get to know you outside the classroom setting, which makes an exceptional academic experience.” Moreover, their “doors are always open” and they frequently “welcome students…[into] their office to discuss course material or career advice.” It’s truly evident that professors at Wake genuinely “care about your education and want you to understand the material.” A thrilled third-year eagerly adds, “All [faculty] members have a true love of teaching (as opposed to research) and their passion shows. I am not exaggerating when I say that most professors are accessible the entire week and most weekends. They will literally bend over backwards to help a student.”
Perhaps not surprisingly, this openness and accessibility extends to the “very friendly and personable” administration as well. As an impressed second-year tells us, “A few of the deans know all of the students by name, which makes the school feel like a big family.” Students also appreciate that they “don't dodge tough questions when it comes to policy decisions.” Or, as one happy second-year simply sums up, “The administration at Wake Forest is run like a well-oiled machine.”

Moreover, there’s a lot of learning to be done outside of the classroom at Wake as well. For example, “respected practicing attorneys, renowned authors, and public figures often speak at on-campus events, and stick around to talk privately with smaller groups of students as well.” Impressively, Wake has also managed to lure United States Supreme Court Justices to campus. Indeed, one ecstatic student brags that a justice “visited an entire day with students during my second year and another... is a regular contributor to the study abroad program in the summer.” This helps to ensure that the court is not seen as” simply some mythical creature students discuss in class, but a tangible entity filled with real people.”
While hometown Winston-Salem might not have the bustling night-life of other, more urban areas, it certainly has “an abundance of great restaurants” of which students are quick to take advantage. Moreover, “nearby outdoor activities make it a great place to spend three years. If you are into hiking or mountain biking you will have ample opportunities to exploit the great locations all over the area, just within a thirty minute drive.”
