oh boy. first word to come to mind: diverse. i have left-winged fanatics, and conservative freaks as friends. i have friends from the bronx, from africa, from california, and from springfield. most students seem to wear whatever to class. i prefer jeans and a hoodie, but i know people who dress up for class. variety of campus ministry and religion-oriented opportunities ON CAMPUS and off.

Witt is majority white, but still feels diverse within students. Some kids come from money, others do not. Some people wear nice clothes to class, and others wear sweatpants or pajamas..and no one cares or judges upon that. Since Witt is so small it allows people from all different backgrounds to interact and learn from one another.

Witts students are made up of people from ohio, ky, indiana, pennsylvania, michigan, chicago the northeast, south, and few from the west. the ratio of in state to out of state is 60/40 and out of state numbers are really increasing. Everyone here is down to earth, real, fun, unique, and loves being around each other. The best part about our student body is that everyone interacts with each other. greeks with non greeks, athletes with non athletes, religious with not religious, super academic with not so academic. Your group of close friends will 1) not be a small isolated group, and 2) be made up of people from all over and from different areas of campus. Witt student support each other in whatever is going on whether is a sporting event or a greek philanthropy, or even a research presentation. It is one caring community.

I would venture that most students on campus find their niche, whether within athletics, Greek life, campus ministry, community service, or some other facet of campus life. They become very actively involved in that area and then also seem to dabble in other campus activities. There’s an incredible amount of on-campus activities, and most students are pretty heavily involved in something outside of just academics.

Wittenberg's student body is generally kind and courteous to each other. On most days, I am hard pressed to walk to class without seeing 5-10 people I know.

The people are what make Witt such a great place. I have met some of my life-long friends here for sure.

Wittenberg is becoming more diverse, but still needs more work. You will meet students from different backgrounds here.

There are many clubs and extracurricular activities on campus. No student would feel out of place because there is something for every kind of student here. Most Witt students are from Ohio, but there are many students from other states and even other countries. Witt students live everyday to its fullest and support friends in their activities and sports.

Is not too big, not too small. I find it to be somewhat diverse, although this aspect could still use some work. I have found a lot of really neat people who I have come to really enjoy spending time with and a lot of people who I feel very comfortable around.

My classmates are intelligent, encouraging, and very willing to help outside of class if needed.

Generally nice people who just want to get to know everyone
