Why did you choose Illinois Wesleyan?

I fell in love with the campus as soon as I stepped foot on the grounds. 

Tell us about the financial aid process. Was it a factor in your decision?

Yes.  I got a scholarship and I received some financial aid.  It was a very big factor in being able to attend.

Tell us about your Illinois Wesleyan experience.

I am so thankful for the professors I met, both inside and outside of the theatre department, and the education I received was extremely high quality and well-rounded.
