Texas Wesleyan University — Attraction in Fort Worth

The professors are wonderful the ideal learning environment, although the institution on the other hand is quite expensive for the area.The school does absolutely nothing to help their own students even though it is located in a low-income, impoverished neighborhood. One would think that they would be more focused on and committed to student success being that most people choose not to attend because of the drug use, violence, theft and other crimes surrounding the community. I can't even afford to graduate on time because I have to take a few classes at a time. When I transferred to Texas Wesleyan I didn't qualify for a transfer scholarship I had missed it by one point (so I was told) now they've changed and lowered the requirements to 2.0- 2.49 but of course now I don't qualify anymore which is unfair. Don't even get me started on the unprofessionalism of the Administration Department, they are rude, abrupt, impolite and offensive when you ask questions. The Financial Aid office doesn't take the time to help students find other forms of assistance to pay for school. My Aid Advisor caused me to miss out on a scholarship that she didn't even inform me about, when I asked her about it she told me I missed the deadline (sorry) but showed no concern at all. I've talked to countless students who were forced to sit out a year because they couldn't pay their unpaid balance on time. This university should do more by implementing ways to make sure their students can graduate. It's horrible to be delayed for one or two years all because you couldn't afford tuition cost, for God sakes my professor started a food pantry out of her own pocket because students couldn't afford food and tuition. They are very quick to insinuate that monies are being allocated towards improving the school although the students never reap the benefits. Hello quick update, after struggling to come up with $7000 to return to school I finished the year successfully only to be hit with more devastating news.I am suppose to graduate in the spring of 2020, but my dreams won't seem to come true because I have a bill of $4000 dollars. This school is too expensive and people from lower socio economic backgrounds will find it difficult to graduate. I am so disappointed, all I ever wanted was a good education and make a better life for...

I have been attending Texas Wesleyan since the Spring 2018 semester with a semester break after my first one. This school has changed my life. I've seen some of the other reviews and claims that it is a "liberal university... brainwashing their students," or that it is "too expensive" and "not worth the price." From my experience here, none of that is true.

To start with the first claim, what happens here inside the classroom is that the professors, both liberal and conservative, require their students to provide evidence for their claims when they hand out assignments about controversial and non-controversial topics. That is not brainwashing; it is teaching students how to think for themselves, and in a society devoted to freedom, one cannot be free if they cannot think for themselves and question what they've been taught.

As to the other claims about the price of the school, yes, this private university is more expensive than other schools in the area. However, what you are getting when you pay for these classes is a much smaller class size than any other school that I know if in DFW. This is extremely helpful for all students that attend and are willing to take advantage of professor office hours and the ability to ask questions in the middle of class. It only takes a willingness to use the resources available, resources we pay for, to be successful.

With that in mind, tuition does go up, as it does at every college and university, but Texas Wesleyan goes out of its way to find grants, scholarships, and other types of tuition assistance for their students. There is a lot of care and love put into every aspect of what this school does and I wouldn't trade it for any other school in...

My son and I came to Texas Wesleyan University for his baseball tryout, but left with so much more. We arrived early to survey the area attempting to create a more relaxing tryout experience. Campus Security was our first interaction with university staff. They offered us general information with a kind greeting. We walked around for about ten minutes when another staff member approach us offering a professional greeting and general campus tour. He even walked with us to the Admissions office. In the Admissions office we were welcomed by student staffers, counselors and the Admissions Director. They offered us refreshments and gave us a tour of the Science Department and the Financial Department. My son was able to meet the Dean of his intended major for the Pre-Dentistry program. We were also given an opportunity to sit down with a Texas Wesleyan Financial Aid Advisor that same morning. We had not made a single appointment with any of these offices on campus. We finished in time for a short lunchbreak before heading to the baseball tryout. Once at the tryout, my son's first impression of the team was the players. They were welcoming and excepting. The head coach waved from the lawn mower while the assistant coach ran my son's tryout during practice. When all was done, my son made the team! Our first experience with the college that day was not packed full was bells, whistles, cheering and free stuff. It was a day full of polite, friendly, educated people all focused on proudly promoting their university, Texas Wesleyan. My son will be a member of the entering Freshman...
