Wake Forest University (WFU) is a private research university in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, United States. Founded in 1834, the university received its name from its original location in Wake Forest, north of Raleigh, North Carolina. The Reynolda Campus, the university's main campus, has been located north of downtown Winston-Salem since the university moved there in 1956.

WFU's undergraduate and graduate colleges and schools include Wake Forest University School of Law, Wake Forest University School of Divinity, Wake Forest University School of Business, Wake Forest Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, and Wake Forest University School of Medicine.[8] Students can participate in over 250 student clubs and organizations including fraternities and sororities, intramural sports, a student newspaper and a radio station.[9] The university is classified among "R-2: Doctoral Universities – High Research Activity".[10]

Wake Forest University Athletic teams are known as the Demon Deacons and compete in sixteen NCAA Division I intercollegiate sports. Wake Forest is also a founding member of the Atlantic Coast Conference.[11]
