Wheaton College Campus

Buswell library is a three-story library just off the quad. Along with the Wheaton Public Library (WPL), located 4 blocks from campus, you can borrow most of your books for classes if you don't want to buy them. The WPL loans books out for two weeks to a month, Buswell library lends books out for up to a semester.

Everyone on campus walks through the quad at least once a day. The quad is the backyard of Blanchard and stretches to Beamer. People walk through the quad on the way to and from chapel and classes. The large walkway allows people to bike, walk, or skateboard along the path.

Classes at Wheaton have between 5-80 students at a time. Major classes tend to me smaller while gen eds are much larder. In this classroom there are roughly 30 students per class.

Arena Theater is home to the black box theater on campus. Every year there are shows performed in November, February, and April. Some of the shows are classic plays such as Shakespearean plays and others are more modern plays. Aside from three adult directors, everything is created, run, and managed by the students in theater classes.

Wheaton is 40 minutes from Chicago, which is very windy and cold in the winter, meaning there are some gusty days on campus. The weather in the fall semester is nicer than the spring semester. If you want to study abroad, study abroad in the spring instead of the fall so you miss out on the bad weather!
