Popular Library

Our library is the best. We jokingly say it's the most popular building on campus... which is kind of is! And not because people here spend all their time studying, it's just a great facility! There is plenty of space to study, tons of resources, places for group projects, and a great reference staff. Overall, it's the best place to study and to get information for classes and research.

LIVE OFF-CAMPUS

It's WAAAYYYYYY cheaper than staying an extra two years on campus. Watch out for certain landlords, though the majority are relatively fair. If you choose to live just a block further, it'll be cheaper, but you probably want to stay away from Rosaccs, it's not the safest area.

Not at All

As long as you aren't a danger to yourself or others security will leave you alone. Whitman is about fostering responsible individuals and knows that we are adults, so they give us a lot of leeway because they know we can take care of ourselves.
