Wilson is by no means typical of a GA training or club airfield, indeed it is quite the oposite and I'm not the least bit surprised at your post. My experience of Wilson was admittedly some time ago but it was chaotic then with a difficult mix of aircraft and usually frantically busy. Specific inbound and outbound VFR lanes/procedures along with being squeezed in between other busy airfields impose further complications and it is all "overseen" by ATC that is somewhat idiosyncratic to say the least.
You have my sympathies but you'll get the hang of it even if you don't get much experience at flying text-book circuits because you're dodging traffic all the time.
