What I Like About Witt

I know this may be a big drawback for a lot of people, even students attending Witt, but I like that it is a smaller school in several aspects. First, Many people hate that it is so small because they hang out with the same people all the time. I enjoy all of my friends here at Wittenberg, so that has never been an issue for me. Also, I like being able to say "hi" to ten people on my way to class every day. Students at big schools don't have this opportunity and a lot of the time they will meet a person once and never see them ever again.

Second, we don't have to leave thirty minutes early to arrive on time to class. Our biggest distance here is a ten minute walk, and people still choose to drive (okay, I am guilty but its because its raining or I am running late!)

Third, since we have a lower enrollment we have smaller classes. By biggest class I have had here is maybe at a maximum 35 students. We don't have huge lecture halls with hundreds of students. I like being able to have personal relationships with my professors and it makes the whole learning experience more effective. I am still on a name to name basis with teachers I had freshman year and my class is still invited to my Wittsem professors house for dinner every semester.

I think before people always complain about Wittenberg they should think about the positives it has to offer that other schools lack entirely.
