The kids at WWC are mostly very kind, but very left leaning and some are pretty activist. One of the tenets of a WWC education is giving back to the community. Community service is a requirement just like the work crews.
I’m not sure what you mean about “help”. I think there are folks from a variety of economic backgrounds. There are many kids whose families are paying full price. They can’t all get scholarships.
I saw one stat that over 50% of students ID as LGBTQ. Seems like a lot but I’m sure it’s up there. They do allow kids to have emotional support animals.
It’s a great school for environmental related studies. I don’t know about exercise science. They do a lot of outdoor stuff, so if she was interested in being a wilderness adventure leader WWC might be a great place. Big on mountain biking too. Lots of adventures like rock climbing, hiking, rafting, etc.
The campus is hilly. I’m sure there are accommodations for disabled students, but it might be more challenging for a student who uses a wheelchair to navigate than some other campuses that are flatter (not sure of her disability, but just an example).
Not that you asked about this, but I did not see many Asian kids at WWC. It is mostly white kids, with some black and Latino kids too. Might be some Asian kids and I just didn’t see them. There are kids from all over the US and maybe a few international students. Not sure. It’s a super small school but seems like a pretty special place.
It’s a great school for kids who are interested in the environment, sustainable living, sustainable farming, the outdoors, craft (blacksmithing is big), music, and hands on learning. They have a well-regarded MFA program in writing too. The most coveted work crew position is the farm crew. They raise their own cattle, pigs, and sheep.
It’s a pretty unique, special place. I can’t think of many other colleges like Warren Wilson.
