Campus and vibes

Freshman

As an international student, I was excited to be accepted into Westminster College, which was the first college to offer me admission based on my academic performance and extracurricular activities. The campus and student life at Westminster looked very interesting, especially through the virtual tour. However, what impressed me the most was the friendly and supportive community. The counselors and staff at Westminster have been very welcoming, and my online interactions with them have made me even more eager to be part of this community.
