For 2 years I have welcomed international students to campus as a Global Ambassador. I enjoy helping new students join our W&J community. Exchange students join a lot of activities on campus and it is great to see them be involved. I can’t wait to visit my new friends all around the world!
Our W&J students are eager to welcome you to our residential community!

Pablo LlanesUniversidad San Francisco de Quito, exchange student at W&J in Fall 2018
W&J was one of the greatest experiences of my life. It felt like home right from the beginning and I had the opportunity to grow and experience new things that helped me in life. My favorite part about the whole experience was meeting some incredible people
from all over the world that made my semester the best one for sure!
Students seize the opportunity to travel during break periods. Nayeong Kim from South Korea traveled to the Grand Canyon over spring break with friends made on campus!
