Community

Community

College is the place you’ll call home for some of the most transformational years of your life, so the people you encounter are as important as the location you choose.

At Washington and Lee, you'll find a sense of community that is immediately palpable. It’s evident in our Speaking Tradition, which encourages students and faculty to greet friends and strangers alike. It’s evident in the close relationships that develop between students and faculty, over research or over coffee. It’s evident in the bonds that develop between classmates and teammates, on Outing Club treks and during theater productions. And it’s evident in the trust and freedom created by our student-run Honor System.
