Hello! We are Joanna and Megan, a dynamic duo of first year roommates at Wesley Theological Seminary. Our humble abode is in Straughn Hall. We have just been getting settled in and have loved the entire experience so far. Neither of us knew what to expect when coming, but both have been equally surprised by the warmth of the entire community. We would like to share with you just a glimpse of our lives and our entire experience at Wesley so far.
