My son is receiving a top notch liberal arts education at a school that truly values the importance of engagement by both students and faculty. His scholarships placed the opportunity to attend a prestigious private education in his reach.

I am not rich. In fact very few of my classmates are rich. Wittenberg has amazing scholarships which make the cost much more reasonable. Wittenberg is one of two colleges in the state to offer a Special Education and Early Childhood Education program, meaning that when I graduate I will be a licenced in both (in only 4 years of school). I am very disappointed to hear this negative reviews. I love Wittenberg, and I hate stuck up people. I haven't found many here. For you folks from Columbus I gratuated from Westland High School, I know what stuck up looks like.

A horrific institution. They cover up rapes and hazing-related deaths that happen on their campus regularly. On top of that, a degree from there is virtually useless in today's job market. You really need to have a specialized degree in something like accounting or engineering to have a good shot at a decent job in today's market. Most people I graduated with(seven years ago) are still working menial jobs or doing things like peace corps. Don't waste your time or your money. Your money would be better invested in purchasing a franchise location and starting a business. Or almost anything else.

As my experience this is a great school. The professors care about their students. There are many resources on campus that are free and provide all students with help. Also, it's not just a school for the rich. I'm poor yet was still able to attend with many scholarships they offered me. There may be people who complain about upstuck kids here but we also have generous students who care. You're going to find upstuck and rude kids anywhere in the US, but there's also great kids that exist too.

Wittenberg to the uninformed looks like a snobby little rich school where girls get there daddies to pay for everything and every guy you run into is a jock. This is a false image. Sure there are rich people, it is an expensive school, but there are also people who have to work to go there. It is expensive because the quality of education that you can receive there is above others. Almost every other student at Wittenberg is receiving financial assistance. People at Wittenberg are welcoming and kind, ask any new student. Ask anyone who has gone there without a prepossessed prejudice. I toured Wittenberg after being accepted, without knowing the cost, and what I found was a nice community of people. I attend this school. I work hard every day to pay for it, when I could have easily gone somewhere less expensive and paid not a dime. I chose Wittenberg because it felt welcoming, and I wouldn't want to study anywhere else. The professors care about the students, the campus is beautiful, and the people are friendly. Everyone is not a stuck up little rich kid who owns a BENZ, but there are so many people who care about others more than you can find at any big name school. Wittenberg is a great place to be educated.

It's really awful that they have tore up tennis courts that were donated to the university. Now they are tearing down beautiful trees that line McCreight Avenue. Shame on Wittenberg University. A waste of money that could be applied for academics.

I actually didn't attend Wittenberg but my husband did and he has very fond memories of his time there, academically and from being on the tennis team. Ten years later he and 3 of the friends he made there, get together once a week to play tennis. I only wish I could have had a similar experience in my college career but OSU will never be able to offer a small town feel and developing of such close friendships among students. I think it was a more expensive option for him but the lifelong friends and memories he has is deemed worthy.
