<p>not too much. I’m an international student from Vietnam and obviously I can’t visit campus, so my college research is based entirely on information/rumors on the Internet, mostly from CC. But I’ll try to tell you things I do know or hear about the school:</p>
<p>Wittenberg has a small (71 acres) but pretty nice and green campus, with fine academics. From what I’ve heard, Witt students are very friendly and have a reputation for being a little conservative compared to other LACs (but of course there are still a large proportion of liberal people). Off-campus study is encouraged, close connection to the town, and all students are required to complete non-credit community service before graduating. </p>
<p>The dorms and residence buildings are mostly nice, while some others are rundown. Athletic facilities are top-notch and athletics is big at Witt (which is kind of important to me, I mean the atmosphere, because I want to go to a college with lots of school spirit). </p>
<p>Although Springfield (the town) is not very impressive, life on campus is lively and if anyone cares about rankings, Wittenberg is ranked 7th in the “More to do on campus” ranking by PR. Social life pretty much revolves around Greek life, but the Greek system at Witt seems inclusive and independent-friendly. You don’t need to join a frat/ sorority to participate in most of their parties/ activities.</p>
<p>Regarding admissions, Witt application is easy (no supplemental essays) and the school has a pretty high acceptance rate (68.5%). Most popular majors: Biology, business, education. By the way, Susan Welker, the International Admission Coordinator is very nice and responsive.</p>
<p>northeastmom, is your son/daughter consideing Witt?</p>
