You’ll be able to enjoy a bustling campus with Wesleyan students who are motivated to reach above and beyond. This beautiful campus is full of life throughout the academic year; there is something for everyone in this quaint college.

  Both Lincoln and Omaha (the largest city in Nebraska at 450,000 and one hour's drive from Lincoln), offer students many cultural and recreational activities. Denver, Chicago, Minneapolis and St. Louis are within a day's drive or a short flight. Kansas City is three hours away by car.

  International students can participate in many different extracurricular activities as there are more than 80 student organizations available. International students in the past have enjoyed participating in theatre productions, intramural athletics, choir and academic clubs. The International Relations Organization brings together international and American students for cultural exchange, social activities, and travel. 

  A special program for international students, the "I-Pal" program, matches each new international student with an American student. The American I-Pals will be in communication with their I-Pals before departure and will meet them at the Lincoln airport upon arrival. The American I-Pals then offer friendship, advice on social activities and academic guidance.
