Wake Forest University

I was an undergraduate here in the early 1960's and loved it. The teaching was extraordinary, the campus beautiful, and the arts programs were exceptional beyond belief. I was a student in hard sciences, and getting incubated in the arts has served me all my life. Likewise the requirements for breadth in education. The philosophy, history, languages I use every day. I learned to write, and that has been invaluable in my professional life. I ended up as a distinguished professor at the University of California, Davis and earned many honors in my scientific career, including the University Medal, the highest honor UC gives. I owe much of that success to the string background Wake Forest gave me. I am eternally grateful.

This is the most beautiful college campus! 😍 It has a lot of of greenery, beautiful brick buildings, open fields and it has plenty of handicap/stroller friendly access! Love it here

Wake Forest University has long since moved on from its reputation as a regional senior college affiliated with the Baptist church. Now a nationally prominent, comprehensive research university, Wake Forest is also no longer controlled by the Baptists. Things have moved on. Still quite conservative, this university is a diverse blend of liberal arts, sciences, and professional schools of engineering, business, law and medicine. There is also a thriving athletic program. The neo-Georgian campus is absolutely stunning and is an interesting counterpoint to Duke's academic neo-Gothic. Wake Forest is part of the unofficial Southern Ivy group that includes Duke, Rice, Vanderbilt, Tulane, Emory, SMU and Miami.

Cool place, they don’t allow umbrellas in the stadium though. Be sure to check the website for any restrictions for their events before walking up to the gate. Clear bag policy, too. Mascot is demon deacons.

Nice, beautiful campus. Excellent fine arts center with great production staff.

Happy to be an alumni. Only issue is that there's no city life and it's almost a little too quiet out here

Just had a tour with my daughter. We were very impressed with everything, especially their support system, quality of education, and very safe for everyone.
