<p>I wish that I had posted this sooner, but in the other topic Ask a Current Student we had answered a question that pertains to the misconception of having an entirely liberal student body and atmosphere at Wes (or as parent57 puts it, a hospitable environment for students who don’t share the political views of the majority). You can find that post here: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/13103233-post45.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/13103233-post45.html</a>.</p>
<p>As a current Wes student, I feel that we have a completely open, respectful, and tolerant community. I am sorry to see that anyone could label us a Train Wreck (with the caption Do Not Enter), but everyone is entitled to his or her opinion and the author deserves the right to express his. </p>
<p>I really do not have the desire to stir up more controversy, but Wesleyan is an amazingly progressive place and our curriculum is just one aspect of student life that reflects that fact. I guess the debate lies therein of whether or not that is such a bad thing. Personally, I love having the academic freedom of being able to take whatever class I want whenever I want to. I have found that everyone in my classes is taking that specific class because they want to and not because they have to, which produces the most engaging and fascinating discussions I have ever been a part of. And, by the way, Biology of Sex has been my favorite class I have ever taken!</p>
<p>If anyone would like to get an answer from a current students perspective on any questions on the link I have provided or anything else, I would be more than happy to answer them either publicly or privately.</p>
