On September 11, 2018, Mr. Sun from Illinois Wesleyan University visited our school. He had a pleasant meeting with our university counselors and gave an informative session to G11 and G12 students.
Founded in 1850, Illinois Wesleyan is a nationally recognized, highly selective liberal arts university enrolling approximately 1,771 undergraduates from across the nation and around the World.
Located in Bloomington, Illinois, its climate is as similar as Beijing because of the same latitude. Different from the typical Liberal Arts, IWU ‘s unique structure is composed of College of Liberal Arts, School of Nursing and College of Fine Arts. 2/3 of students take part in research opportunities. IWU is the target college of the big four accounting firms.
