Life ¾ÅÉ«ÊÓƵ
Life is more than just studying. Almost all of our students live on campus, forming an uncommonly close community and enjoying together an abundance of activities of all kinds.
The Wesleyan campus buzzes with activity and endless ways to get involved. Any given day might bring music performances, varsity or intramural sports, social justice or advocacy initiatives, film showings, dance parties, or art exhibitions. From growing food for campus dining and the local community at our own organic farm to advocating for and serving refugees and displaced persons through the Wesleyan Refugee Project, Wesleyan students are civic-minded and community-focused.

Clubs and Activities
A distinct energy spans every corner of the Wesleyan campus and comes to life in over 250 student clubs, groups, and teams. Our extraordinary range of co-curricular activities means you have countless opportunities to pursue interests you already possess, explore different forms of expression, and discover future passions you don’t even know about yet.
Whether it’s an intensive academic opportunity that adds depth and rigor to your studies, a social justice focused coalition that puts your values into action, an investment club that challenges your critical and analytical skills, or a sports or dance activity that gets your blood flowing and body moving, you’ll find yourself daring to try new things, meeting new people—and leaving your comfort zone far behind.
Athletics
Over 780 students participate in intercollegiate sports each year. While academics are their priority, they put incredible commitment and discipline into building their skills on the field, rink, and court.
Wesleyan is a member of the New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC, an 11-member league in NCAA Division III). We have 30 varsity teams and over 25 club and intramural sports teams playing in state-of-the-art facilities.
