Campus Life
When you enroll at W&L, you join a vibrant, welcoming community. You and your peers will arrive with life experiences from many different places, and together, you will make W&L your own.
Our campus is at the center of a small, lively, two-college town that offers students abundant opportunities to become involved in the community and travel around the world. Students can take part in one of more than 100 clubs and organizations, and have access to abundant resources to develop programming suited to their interests.
Getting to Know Each Other
First-Year Experience
Leading Edge programming at W&L allows first-year students to bond. Before they ever step into the classroom, they’ll participate in memorable and meaningful experiences.
Residential Campus
Building Your Community
As a residential campus, students at W&L have the benefit of getting to know each other and building a strong network of friends from their very first day.
People You Meet Along the Way
Lifelong Friendships
The people you meet at college are as important as the location. At W&L, you will be part of a welcoming community of individuals who have their own interests and dreams, and share core values of honor, integrity and civility.
Taking Care in Daily Life
Health and Wellness
Dining venues offer fresh, local and healthy options and wellness programs help students maintain healthy lifestyles. W&L provides indoor and outdoor facilities, including fitness centers, an indoor pool, and group exercise.
A Welcoming Town
Lexington, Virginia
Our vibrant town and idyllic setting are two things our students come to love best about W&L. Affectionately dubbed “Lex Vegas” by students and locals, Lexington is frequently listed among the mid-Atlantic’s best small towns.
Engaged Community
Washington and Lee is a place like no other — a welcoming and supportive community built on trust, respect and connection.
