Wake Forest University
Wake Forest University International Student Insurance
Wake Forest University, located in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, was established in 1834. It opened as the Wake Forest Manual Labor Institute in the town of Wake Forest, North Carolina, and quickly became Wake Forest College in 1838. The School of Law was founded in 1894, the medical school in 1902. In 1946, the school accepted an invitation from the Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation to move its main campus 100 miles west to its current location. The school gained university status and its present name in 1967. Today, Wake Forest enrolls about 8,500 students and counting each year. The school colors are old gold and black, and its athletic nickname is the Demon Deacons.
