Meet the people of
Wake Forest through video

Beautiful. Friendly.
A community. A home.

The best way to experience Wake Forest is to visit its beautiful campus. A warm welcome awaits you here. The magnolia-flanked brick and limestone buildings border well-ordered quadrangles. It is the chapel, the main quad, the library, the magnolia trees, and the playing fields that create a wonderful sense of community that you will feel from the day you first visit until the day you receive your diploma.

Schedule a personal interview

Planning a campus visit? If you intend to apply, be sure to schedule a personal interview as part of your time here. Interviews give us an opportunity to get to know each other in a thirty-minute session. Because the interview is evaluative and becomes part of your application file, be prepared for dialogue that is beneficial to you and to us. Find out more »

Visit Winston-Salem

Wake Forest’s hometown is a culturally rich, mid-size city. Winston-Salem, with a population of 225,000, is located in North Carolina’s Piedmont Triad, one of the state’s most vital metropolitan areas. Throughout its history, Winston-Salem has consistently built resources in the arts, medicine, education and commerce.

From campus, the Blue Ridge Mountains are a two-hour drive and offer opportunities for hiking, cycling, camping, rock-climbing, rafting and skiing. Travel to North Carolina and South Carolina beaches takes about four hours.
