ST. ROSE OF LIMA PARKING LOT
Attention Parents and Students: Please do not use the St. Rose of Lima Parking Lot to drop off and pick up your students. They have asked us to relay that their parking lot has had very heavy traffic and their parents can't get in to pick up their students from their own school. You can meet your students off of Arcane in the back of the school, on Hudspeth to the East of the school, or in either parking lot. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.

FEATURED COLLEGE
THIS WEEK: College of Wooster
Click here for Admissions Info
Click here for Tuition & Financial Aid Info
Enrollment: 2,016
Acceptance Rate: 55%
DETAILS: Instead of teaching students what to think, The College of Wooster focuses on teaching students how to do it. From the first freshman seminar to the final day when seniors hand in their theses, the college paves each student’s path to independence. The emphasis here is on global perspectives, mentored research, and the heritage that stems from its origin as a college founded by Scottish Presbyterians. The one-on-one attention from faculty makes Wooster an intellectual refuge in the rural countryside of Ohio. “Mentorship and collaboration are pervasive across campus,” says a history major. “Students are constantly interacting with their peers, faculty advisors, and other community members in an effort to gather diverse perspectives and motivate their learning.”
What goes on behind the facades of Wooster’s attractive buildings is more impressive than the structures themselves. The required First-Year Seminar in Critical Inquiry, limited to 15 students per section, introduces students to intensive writing, critical thinking, and interdisciplinary study. Recent section topics include The Drugs We Drink: Biological and Societal Perspectives; Heating Up the Planet: Response to a Catastrophe; and The History of the Future. In addition to the first-year seminar, three semesters of Independent Study, and six cross-discipline courses, Wooster mandates courses in writing, global and cultural perspectives, religious perspectives, and quantitative reasoning, foreign language proficiency, and seven to nine courses in the student’s major.
The College of Wooster is nationally recognized for its commitment to mentored research and its international focus. Wooster students are proud to be Fighting Scots and independent thinkers. And as a political science major explains, the college’s distinctive Independent Study requirement actively shapes both the individual student experience and the campus atmosphere: “Having that big project on the horizon from the day you enroll changes the way you engage with your education, and I think that brings an element of intensity, dedication, and commitment to the academics at Wooster.”
College of Wooster Student Perspective: “Classes frequently require collaborative work to complete assignments, and students often work together in a relaxed environment that focuses simultaneously on building connections as well as growing academically.”
