I LOVE WITTENBERG! Witt is most definitely my home away from home, and coming here has been the best decision of my life. The professors genuinely care about you and your education and are willing to do anything they can to prepare you for the future.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
As a prospective student, come visit campus on a nice, warm day. One of my favorite things about Wittenberg is what I like to call a Wittenberg Day. Wittenberg Days are the nice, warm, sunny days when the campus comes to life. Everyone is outside playing music, talking, doing homework, playing games, and just having fun together as a community. Even after a long day of class and exams, Wittenberg Days never fail to remind me why I am here and why it is my home.
Also, be sure to tour the entire campus and go inside buildings to talk to professors. I was the kid on college visits that would always let my mom do all of the talking, let her ask all of the questions, and was really not all that interested in college stuff yet. Don't be that kid. Participate on tours, ask questions, and most of all, soak in everything you can. Everyone on Wittenberg's campus is overwhelmingly friendly at first, but I promise, it is genuine. They want to do anything and everything they can to make your college decision the right one, so let them.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
In highschool, teachers are always telling you that college is much harder. It is, but to an extent. Being a liberal arts school, we are required to take classes outside of our major in order to extend our thinking and learning abilities. Although scheduling the gen. eds seem like a hassle when all you really want to do is complete major requirements, they are interesting and sometimes you find yourself changing your major because you enjoy them more. Wittenberg has already given me so many opportunities, and even though it is hard work, it is all worth it.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
I love the dorm life! I am currently living in Woodlawn Hall, the only all girls residence hall on campus. I do not like to associate with the drama that girls tend to produce, so getting this assignment was not the best moment for me coming in as a freshman. But, on move in day, when I finally met my random roommate, whom is now my best friend, and got my room situated, I couldn't be happier. I have loved living here all year and it is always a blast living with my friends.
My RAs are awesome. I was terrified of them at first, but I soon realized that they were pretty cool and nothing to be afraid of. They are always there to help you. My word of advice, become friends with the RAs. When they are your friends they will not yell at you to be quiet during quiet hours! :)
Describe the food and dining at your college.
Wittenberg has 3 dining options, the CDR, Post 95, and the Science Center. I am probably not the best person to write a food review because I could be happy eating a rock. But, I think that it is decent food and there is no reason to be eating Ramen Noodles everyday! Some people complain, but it is cafeteria food; it is never going to be perfect.
PS. The CDR is a great hangout spot if you enjoy people watching and hanging out with friends. It is also the place to be on visit days. Prospect students = Great food.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
There is always something to do on campus! If you are not comfortable with the party scene, have no fear; the various student organizations on campus always provide awesome things to do. We have had comedians, hypnotists, movie nights, tailgates, anything you can think of it has probably happened at Wittenberg.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Wittenberg is expensive, but there hasn't been a day that I have doubted my decision. The money is worth it!
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
Don't step on the seal!!!!
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
This campus has sooo many student organizations. If there is not something that interests you, not only will I be incredibly surprised, but you can always create your own! It is sometimes a problem for Witt students to be too involved. Proceed with caution.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
Go Greek!!! The greek life is very involved on campus and are very active with their philanthropies. They do great things, and it is a ton of fun.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
I have never felt unsafe walking on campus. There are police escorts that are available at all times, and the police and security are always doing their rounds on campus.
