The College of Wooster

The conditions at this school is so terrible. Firstly, I will give props to SOME of the buildings and many of the professors, they are pretty great most of the time. However, it is quite terrible here. Multiple of the dorm halls don’t have ANY air conditioning and bats and roaches frequent many of the buildings. Literally every position is understaffed and the technology works maybe 50% of the time (Walks down to the COW C-Store to just see their software not working and needing to close the entire thing down multiple times a week, multiple times a day, is just ridiculous). Janitors are so over-worked that you have one janitor for like more than one entire building sometimes. Sometimes you walk into areas with an emergency just to find out that no one showed up to work except one person. Once you have that bad of an employee hiring problem and retention, you know its no longer a worker problem, and instead an underpaid, overworked, frustrating job. The campus is also very not handicap accessible, it’s a struggle to get anywhere if you have any sort of problem that makes it harder to walk. The food is also terrible, barely any options, if there are, it tastes bad or is instantly removed from the menu the next day, never to be seen again. Despite all this, and more, tuition is going up, even after having over 70 grand as a starting price.

Visited the campus to see if it was a place for consideration by the H. S. Senior in the family. Personally I enjoyed visiting the campus, though I would have prefered visiting while the college was open academically.
