The professors on staff are some of the most competent professionals I've ever had the pleasure of working with. From top-notch Religion professors, to published English professors, to accomplished Music professors, the entire staff is rich in diversity and knowledge. They will teach you things you'll never find in textbooks, and they help shape you into adults that not only search for knowledge, but also challenge it and question it to get a better understanding.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
The entire campus feels like it's own city! There is a long-standing tradition at Wartburg to greet everyone you pass on campus, a tradition that started many years before my time and will continue on many years after I'm gone. Everyone on campus is more than willing to help out other people, and the whole atmosphere is friendly and uplifting.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
In January 2008, they completed a multimillion dollar project to build the Wartburg-Waverly Wellness Complex (also known as The W). While the facility is state-of-the-art, many of the students don't get to see the more impressive aspects of it (those are reserved for community members and athletes). Other than that, you are really getting what you pay for!
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Wartburg College does an excellent job of transitioning you into the college life with their Orange EXCELeration program that occurs about a week before classes start. It exposes you to the different aspects of campus life, as well as gets you familiar with professors and their expectations. Without it, I don't think I would be as excited as I am for this upcoming year.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Great for students who want a well-rounded, liberal-arts college experience. Also great for students who want to branch out beyond the academics of college and get involved with many great organizations.
