With six distinct residence halls, including the perennial student favorite, Myers Hall, the first building ever to grace campus back in the mid 1800s, first-year students here immediately feel like full-fledged members of our residential community of learners. At the same time, they know that their own unique contributions, gifts and talents are respected and appreciated – a fact reflected in the many themed housing proposals annually submitted. Such proposals have led to students establishing an environmentally friendly abode, an international living and learning house, as well as an all-student-governed residence.
Outside of “dorm life,” students also can find a range of places to take a study break, chat with friends, play some games or grab a bite at Wittenberg’s main gathering spot, the Benham-Pence Student Center.
Once inside, students can select from three distinct dining options - the "CDR," Founders and Post 95 - depending on the time of day. Each reflects student input in its design and unique offerings. For those desiring made-to-order wraps, a cool smoothie or a wide selection of to-go food, Post 95 is the place. For a more traditional cafeteria-style experience, the CDR serves up an array of options, including a hummus bar, all-vegetarian and omelet made-easy stops, and a pizza-by-the-slice station. As the week winds down, Founders becomes the preferred gathering spot to enjoy an evening of food and entertainment with friends.
In addition, nearby Doppelgangers, Wittenberg's newly renovated game room in the Student Center, offers opportunities for relaxation. From pool to Rock Band to Wii, Doppelganger's makes down time fun.
