Hey guys, I’m really interested in College of Wooster for its strong focus on mentored undergraduate research. Are there any other colleges with similar vibes or programs that I should be looking at?
Hey there! It's fantastic that you're interested in the College of Wooster's research opportunities. There are indeed other colleges with a strong emphasis on undergraduate research and mentorship. For example, Oberlin College and Earlham College also facilitate deep connections between students and faculty, particularly in research projects. Additionally, schools like Reed College in Oregon and Lawrence University in Wisconsin are known for their extensive undergraduate research involvement, which is similar to Wooster's Independent Study Program. Before you decide, I recommend visiting campuses if possible, and talking to current students or faculty to see where you feel the best fit. Keep in mind also that liberal arts colleges, in general, tend to offer more personalized education experiences that often include research opportunities. Best of luck in your search!
