 I think Wheelock does a great job at making sure everyone’s voice is heard. There are tons of clubs for people to join that they feel is the right fit for them. Wheelock is very diverse and is open to all people no matter your ethnicity, class, or sexual orientation. Wheelock makes sure that...

At Wheelock college, it’s a great place to be yourself and have your own identity. Friends and I have had discussions about religion, sexual orientation, etc. we are all open minded about each other’s opinions and thoughts. At Wheelock we’re able to express our own identity. We are all (well most...

After coming to Wheelock, I feel more comfortable about talking about race. Before Wheelock, race was never a topic of discussion; it never came up. I’m kind of glad that we do talk about it though. I think with the type of school that we are, it is important that we talk about these issues.

Coming to Boston was a culture shock of sorts. Coming from a town that was almost completely white, racial minorities were few and far in between in a really tiny town in the middle of Maine. No one wanted to talk about race, because for the majority of the white population, it wasn’t a thought...
