- "I made Virginia Wesleyan my top choice because I liked the campus itself and the size of the student body. I liked the location, and the fact that it was near the beach. More importantly, the phenomenal coaching staff of the tennis team really stood out among the other colleges that I visited. The possibility of playing Division III tennis was also a highlight of the school. I also liked the small, personal classroom settings, and the professors all seemed knowledgeable and caring."
- Selected VWC over the University of Mary Washington, Christopher Newport University, Randolph-Macon College, Lynchburg College, and Bridgewater College
