Students at Wittenberg know that where they live can greatly enrich how they learn, which makes Wittenberg’s University District extremely popular with juniors and seniors. A coveted neighborhood in close proximity to campus, the University District encompasses both North Campus and South Campus, and is bordered by the North Fountain coordinator, which will soon enjoy enhanced lighting and completely refurbished walkways. Wittenberg’s own Alumni Way serves as the quaint divider between North Campus, which surrounds Wittenberg’s always busy Health, Physical Education and Recreation Center, and South Campus, which connects to Springfield’s Cliff Park, home to a new rock amphitheater.
One of the many reasons students seek out the University District for their final two years is because many of the historic homes available have welcoming front porches. Ideal for impromptu social gatherings on beautiful spring and fall days, or for simply kicking back with a friend one-on-one, the homes and their front porches create lasting memories of college life.
Easy-to-find blue light phones make travel in the University District safe as does Wittenberg’s friendly full-service police/security force, which provides escort services for students at any time of the day or night, and insists on taking a pro-active approach in progressive campus policing.
For those wanting more traditional upper-class housing, Wittenberg offers a number of newly built apartments near the entrance to Cliff Park.
