Student reviews

Campus and vibes

Student

Wabash College offers a very specific type of college experience. Crawfordsville's lack of restaurants, activities, and cultural options quickly becomes apparent—I often feel stranded by what’s available off campus. The campus itself is extremely small and insular, with 900 students, so it can feel isolating if you’re looking for variety or a wider social circle.

Student

In my time at Wabash College, I have truly embraced the atmosphere of the college. This place makes you into an outspoken leader and friend because of the curriculum designed to better suit how men learn. Here at Wabash being involved with highly competitive athletics shapes and molds you into the man you will become for the rest of your life.
