W&L ADVANTAGE

Founded in 1749, W&L is the 9th oldest college in the United States, even older
than the U.S. Constitution.

Today, W&L is a top-ranked liberal arts university that continues to build on
its innovative and flexible approach to education. W&L's motto, ”Not unmindful
of the future,” reflects our commitment to an education that is relevant to the
21st century.

Making College Affordable


MAKING COLLEGE AFFORDABLE

We are committed to meeting 100% of student financial need.

Every year, W&L awards about $53 million in institutional grants in addition to
federal and state awards. And because of the strength of our need-based aid,
only a fraction of families choose to take out optional loans. 

Discover Scholarships and Aid

Play Engaged Community


ENGAGED COMMUNITY

We are a close-knit, residential campus where students build lifelong
friendships by living on campus, working and studying together, participating in
clubs and activities, and serving the community. 

A community which is strengthened by the student-run Honor System, and the
commitment students make not to lie, cheat, steal or otherwise violate the trust
of the community. 

Explore Our Campus Life

Play Pool of Opportunities


POOL OF OPPORTUNITIES

Our size, resources and commitment to innovation mean students have access to
faculty and resources from day one.

One of the hallmarks of the W&L experience is the accessibility of faculty.
Every class is taught by a faculty member who often becomes a mentor, colleague
and champion, pushing students to raise the bar. 

Our Distinctive Opportunities

Play Adventure-Ready Location


ADVENTURE-READY LOCATION

Our campus is about 50 miles from Roanoke, 140 miles from the state capital of
Richmond, and 180 miles from the national capital of Washington, D.C. 

Lexington — and the adventure-ready landscape that surrounds it — become such a
part of students’ lives that graduates often return to visit long after their
college days are behind them.
