Beautiful historic theatre with amazing acoustics. Authentic restoration. No bad seats. Try the balcony if you prefer table seating.

I want here in the early 1980s and been an active alumni since. While the technology has changed it…read moreand the students, the values taught has not. Hands on learning isn't something that just new, it been the way for over 70 years. Full professors teaching smaller classes that make you work. Add community service hours, jobs that the college will help you find, a student's life will be filled quickly. Most still find time to join the many different social group including the Greek groups where live long bonds are formed. I and many alumni got into top grad schools that Wilmington did everything it could to help. Alumni can come back for employment assistance also. After talking to grads of larger schools and seeing personally how much help they weren't, I am glad I chose here over many bigger named schools.

I have been to Wilmington a few times over the years, my cousin went here, and our most recent trip…read morewas to see my brother-in-law play basketball here. It is a great little school, close to Cinci, not far from Columbus. My cousin studied physical therapy and they have a great program in that. At least back then, the Bengals had their summer training here. It's a nice campus, lots of very interesting buildings and plenty of green spaces. Wilmington itself looks like a good college town, with interesting shops downtown. I would have considered it when I was looking, and it would be on the list for our daughter if her parents' alma maters weren't at the top of the list... A couple of observations on the athletic center. The Fighting Quakers? Funny. Anyway, an nice facility overall. Good layout, plenty of parking and seating. Concessions were good- I think the burgers were fresh off the grill. The sound system at the game was awful- I could not make out what the announcer was saying at all, and even music was murky.
