What was your first impression of Wingate?
I have loved Wingate my entire life since I am from here but my first impression of campus was absolute amazement. It felt like a hidden gem in a small town.

A student would choose Wingate for the small intimate class sizes, the genuine love of the community on campus and to also become a well rounded global citizen.
Advice for the college search process?
My advice would be to take your time and research each school to make sure it aligns with your interests at heart. It's easy to feel rushed into a choice or to feel overwhelmed with such a life changing decision but be patient in exploring your choices.
Describe Wingate in three words:
Loving, Vibrant, Home

GET TO KNOW MAYRA
Professional Student, Recovering Overachiever, Sports Movie Lover.
What was your first impression of Wingate?
Where is that? Even when I am originally from Charlotte, which is just 35 minutes away!
Why Wingate?
There are so many reasons a student should choose Wingate! If I had to pick one, I would say Wingate's investment in every student's growth and success regardless of race, ethnicity, financial status, etc. We want students to be successful academically, socially and emotionally. We help them do that by equipping them with resources from the time they are interested in Wingate until they graduate.
Advice for the college search process?
Think about the things that are important to YOU for a college to have! You are the one who will be going there. The schools in which your friends, classmates, or family are interested may be great for them, but they might not be the right fit for you.
Describe Wingate in three words:
Supportive, Inclusive, Home.
Advice for incoming freshmen?
Don't be afraid to get out of your comfort zone! That's where you'll grow. If you think something sounds interesting, try it out! The worst thing that'll happen is that you won't like it, and you can try something else.
What is your favorite place on campus?
The picnic tables outside Starbucks.

Friends, family, home.
