Campus Life

Welcome!

When you enroll at W&L, you join a vibrant, welcoming community. You and your peers will arrive with life experiences from many different places, and together, you will make W&L your own.

Our campus is at the center of a small, vibrant, two-college town that offers students abundant opportunities to become involved in the community and travel around the world. Students can take part in one of more than 100 clubs and organizations, and have access to abundant resources to develop programming suited to their interests.
