Campus Visit Notes for Southwestern University


Visit Description:

I had a wonderful experience at Southwestern. It was already one of my top schools, but after my visit I'm even more excited about it! There are virtually no "cons" about this school in my opinion. I learned during my time there that the campus is 100% wind powered! How cool is that? The student body seems genuinely excited to learn and passionate about their school. The career services center is phenomenal and the school offers a variety of great academics, which is the most important thing. The buildings are extrememly nice and the campus is just beautiful! Overall I really enjoyed my visit, and I know that I will be very happy if I end up attending this school.
