Wartburg is my second home!

Wartburg feels just like home to me, and I've known it's the place for me for a long time. Other than that, a lot of people stay there on the weekends because it's such a great campus to be at!

This campus knows how to throw a party!

Great place! Very friendly, small town atmosphere. If you want a liberal arts education, this is the place to come. What does that mean? Liberal education is about learning for the sake of gaining knowledge to contribute to the greater good. Devoted to giving students a view of the world that is not biased. GREAT PLACE. But a lot of work.

I would go back to Wartburg in a heartbeat. The faculty is wonderful. If you are a "small town" person, this is definitely the place for you. Those who aren't used to the small town feel, may feel a bit claustrophobic. The university itself is very active and fun. Absolutely love this place!

Way too expensive! You can get a better education at a state school for a fraction of the cost. Waverly I'd in the middle of nowhere so they cannot attract competent professors and administrators. Definitely NOT Worth It.

I transferred out of this school in a heart beat. Thought small college atmosphere would be fun... Not at all. I'm MUCH more happy where I am now. I felt like it was like I was at high school just living there.
