We believe that your time spent at Wittenberg will be the most rewarding time of your life. Living on campus is a special part of that experience, particularly because of the variety of the living options we offer to students. Most small universities are unable to provide these options. From residence halls and a program house to independent residences and Greek houses, Wittenberg truly is a unique place to spend four defining years.

New Students live in double rooms in all residence halls except Ferncliff Hall and Polis House. Special interest is available for students during their first year on campus. Such programs may include honors program, substance-free, international and
all-female residences.

As the only "program house" on campus, the Polis House, an international living and learning residence, provides a unique living experience. Students must have a minimum sophomore status to live in the Polis House, which opened in 1998 as a student residence.

Many students choose to participate in the Greek system. Fraternity and sorority homes are located on campus and typically house between 15 and 100 students. The residences are almost exclusively older American-Victorian style homes that have been updated with many modern amenities. Some are wired for high-speed Internet service, and most have their own kitchen and cooking staff.

Wittenberg also provides private residence living for students who have completed their sophomore or junior year. The university recently built two new apartment complexes, Keller Place and Sprecher Place, which house fully-furnished three- and four-bedroom units. Modern amenities include dishwashers, built-in microwave ovens, high-speed Internet service and cable television. The University also owns many homes in adjacent blocks around campus. Typically these homes or apartments have a capacity of between two and five occupants; some house more than five, and a few single apartments are available for those who enjoy complete privacy. Students enter a lottery each spring to pick the residence of their choice.
