Why W&L
柠檬视频 is a small liberal arts college nestled in the Virginia mountains. We are known for our personal and engaging undergraduate experience and highly regarded School of Law.
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鈥檚 motto, 鈥淣ot unmindful of the future,鈥 reflects our commitment to an education that is relevant to the 21st century.
Making College Affordable
W&L is one of fewer than 25 colleges in the U.S. that can admit students without regard for financial need and guarantee to cover 100% of demonstrated need without loans.
Every year, W&L awards about $60 million in institutional grants and federal and state awards. 60% of the entering first-year class receives need-based financial aid, with an average aid award greater than $60,000.
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.
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.
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 鈥 and the adventure-ready landscape that surrounds it 鈥 become such a part of students鈥 lives that graduates often return to visit long after their college days are behind them.
