"Attending Wooster is a very unique privilege. The tenets upon which Reverend Aaron Coburn founded it, remain true and well-intentioned. You are learning the value of being "gentle, generous, truthful, kind, and brave.”
"Those little moments on the sports fields or in the student center or just walking the grounds with friends and classmates; there's very much a feeling of home about the campus that doesn't seem to shake even as the years go on."
"I attribute Wooster with so much of who I am. The sense of community that Wooster instilled in me has been the foundation for the life I have been privileged in choosing to live."
"At Wooster, I had many good, kind, helpful teachers who helped me when I struggled. Overall Wooster offered a solid education that prepared me for the workload at college."
"Follow your passions - you never know where they may lead you!"
"Embrace the longer school days :) - Wooster is helping you to build your resume with extracurricular activities, leadership, and more so that, in part, you'll have a more competitive edge at the schools you are applying to.
"I have often told people that my four years at Wooster made me who I am today. I learned so much from the teachers and others I was exposed to. The learning didn’t just happen in the classroom; it happened on the fields and in the hallways also."
"I think the most fundamental value I learned at Wooster was something so simple as to sound cliche, but so powerful - to respect others. Treating all individuals with respect, and teaching that value to children, was and is baked into Wooster’s ethos."

"It may seem like you're in a nice little bubble at Wooster. You're protected from a lot, which is nice. However, there is a whole world outside to explore, so be excited for what lays ahead."
