Washington and Lee University Top Questions

It has an amazing community, culture, and history. Town and campus are steeped in a rich tradition and they take the honor policy very seriously. Phenomenal choice of classes and professors.

Mostly I tell my friends about the amazing academics: the classes are small and the professors pay attention to your individual needs.

The honor code here is unlike anywhere else. Since George Washington established the school in 1749, we uphold a very high standard of of integrity in that there is no lying, stealing, or cheating allowed. Being convicted of any of these results in automatic expulsion unless you would like to go up to the Student Judicial Committee and try to petition your conviction. Because of our honor code, students leave laptops, bags, and even shoes anywhere around campus without and fear of them dissapearing or being stolen. I believe this code is what makes Washington and Lee so very special.

I tell them that it's one of the top liberal arts schools in the country.

W&L is an incredible school for academics, social scene, alumni relations, and outdoors activities.
