How does a school become a home? How does a town become a community? In Lexington, it's your first day in the Campus Kitchen, in a local coffee shop, on the Appalachian Trail, or in a classroom. Lexington really is a remarkable place.
4 weeks. 1 class. Whether you're going abroad, participating in service-learning, or staying in Lexington, Spring Term allows you to deep-dive into something new. It's more than a class. It's an experience.
How do you choose a college? Size? Majors? Is the food good here? How about asking yourself "Can you see yourself here"?
Start in Lexington - Go anywhere. London. Belize. Nepal. Main Street, Virginia. Your classes are your passport to every corner of the world.
Join a team. Start a radio show. Research in a lab. Explore the world. At W&L, if you have an idea, you can explore it. Opportunities are for everyone, no matter your class year.
At W&L, STEM means more than science. It means hands-on. It means research. It means working alongside professors, using the latest technology, and exploring the field.
Whether you're a music major or a math major, there's a place for you in the arts. Dance. Sing. Play. Draw. All at W&L.
