Wittenberg University Top Questions

My classmates at Wittenberg are intellectually curious, fun to be around, and good friends.

Everyone is either extremely nice or asleep.

My classmates aren't just my peers- they are my future coworkers, the country's leaders, the driving force to make the world a genuinely better place and a group of people that I am fortunate to grow with during my academic endeavors.

My classmates are a diverse group of students dedicated to their education and driven to take advantage of the wide range of opportunities available at Wittenberg University.

Even though it's a small school, Wittenberg embraces diversity in every class that attends; it may be daunting to go to a new place where there is no familiarity of home, but at Witt there is always someone that can be related to.

Coming from unique, rich backgrounds, all Wittenberg students have common values that are the foundation of what makes our traditionally warm campus such a close-knit family.

Witt is definitely a student-run campus, and these people are definitely people that you will stay friends with for the rest of your life. There's not much else to say, other than that it really is family.

Although Wittenberg's student body may appear to be rather homogeneous, diversity does exist here. While the university is affiliated with the Lutheran Church, this affiliation is in no way, shape, or form an overbearing aspect of campus life. Spirituality is what you make of it here at Witt--there are many opportunities to worship, but nothing is forced upon the students. Students here really find their passions and work to pass their light onto others by getting involved with clubs and other student organizations.

Wittenberg is a very small school so if you're active on Wittenberg's campus, you're going to meet most of them. Our student body is very active through our 100+ student organizations on campus. They're not exclusive either: a member of the track team doesn't just stick with the track team, they usually have friends that span different orientations - friends from bio class, from greek life, from their intramural team, or from their dorm room. Seeing the amount of networking that goes on between all these different groups is really interesting and extremely encouraging.

Wittenberg is a diverse campus and is only striving to become increasingly diverse every year. Students wear sweatpants, polos, skirts, anything really! All different types of students interact no matter what you wear, how you look, or what activities you associate yourself with.

The student body at Wittenberg is very diverse, and full of people not only from around the country but from around the world. The first night I was here I met a kid from Delaware, Germany, and Austria. In the dinning hall people are very friendly and willing to let you sit at their table and talk to you. The student body at Wittenberg really is like a big family and by your senior year you won’t want to leave.

The student body is what makes Wittenberg’s campus IMPECCABLE! At Wittenberg, we truly have a “Tiger Family.” Since Witt is a small campus, you always see someone you know from point A to point B. Witt students are always active with sports, academics, student organizations and/or being leaders of tomorrow.

Wittenberg students come from all over the country and we have multiple international students. We are working on improving our racial diversity. Everyone is welcoming so no matter where you come from or what year you are; you will feel comfortable on campus.

We have a great diversity on campus. We have people from most states and quite a few countries, and everyone learns side by side and many study side by side in the library too. There are lots of clubs where someone can find people that are from their belief system/religion/background/etc. but at the same time there are lots of ways to reach out and make new friends as well.

Plain and simple, there is a place for anyone on this campus! No matter what you like, there is a group, club, and friends for you.

I would describe the student body as being relatively diverse. There are many opportunities for students of different racial, religious, cultural backgrounds to interact. In regards to what students wear to class, I would say that many students dress "preppy" (Sperrys, Ralph Lauren Polo, etc.) I have also found that many Wittenberg students are fairly well-off financially. This is most likely because the cost to attend Wittenberg is so high, well- off families are more likely to afford to send their children here.

I won't lie, Wittenberg probably isn't the most diverse campus on the planet. But, they have done a great job in recent years trying to develop greater diversity on campus. I have been able to meet people from all walks of life on this campus, and I really appreciate that :) A lot of students are from Ohio, but there are more and more out of state students each year!

To throw out a quick fact, Witt has over 160 student run organizations on campus. It's awesome! We have everything from academic clubs to swing dancing. Any interest you have I GUARANTEE we have a club. The great thing too is you can also start your own club, and that's how majority of our clubs are started.

Wittenberg has a wide range of students, or a diverse student body.If you actively search out other types of people, you can find them no problem. In the past year I have become friends with a many number of international, study abroad students. Apart from international students, you can find domestic students who have very different stories from your own.

Everyone is very open! I have a wide-array of friends from all types of different backgrounds. Political and religious beliefs seem to take a backseat to people in general. There are organizations like College Republicans, College Democrats, American International Associations, Gay/Straight Alliance, Athletes for Christ, Jewish Culture Club, and Body Beautiful. The student body is not divided at all! Many college stereotypes reflect that Greek and Non-Greek students do not interact, but that simply is not true at Wittenberg. Non-Greek students are invited to almost all functions, and are encouraged to do what is best for them. I am not Greek, but many of my friends are, and that doesn't get in the way of us hanging out on the weekends.
