Some Comments from Juniors and Seniors about their Sophomore Retreat

  • Being in a natural setting helped me step back from the hectic life at Wooster.
  • The self-reflection was by far the best thing about this retreat. It really made me discover who I am and who I want to be.
  • I loved the challenge of working together on difficult tasks.
  • I enjoyed everything about it, especially getting to know the faculty and staff in a more informal relaxed setting. I also enjoyed spending time with sophomores that I might not see on a regular basis.
  • Sitting around the campfire making s’mores was a great way to have deep and stimulating conversations.
  • I really liked learning about our personalities and how that affects us. I think that plays a huge part in how your personality connects to your career.
  • Really helps build friendships among students, very fun!
  • The small group sessions were incredibly helpful because working with just a few other students and a faculty member allowed me to better organize my own life and to put my goals in perspective compared with the experiences of other students and the faculty. It was helpful to get some one on one advice instead of just listening to a sort of broad lecture.
  • Crazy!!! I loved the ropes course even though it’s super scary.
  • Best retreat ever! Can we please have a junior retreat too?
