Residential Life Residential life is an important part of the total educational program at Wartburg College. More than 80 percent of the student body lives on campus. Unless students reside at home, are married, or are over the age of 24, they must apply for permission to live off campus. Living on campus enhances classroom learning by providing an opportunity for students to learn more about themselves and others. Professional and peer advisers assist students in achieving a living environment that complements the classroom experience, encourages positive, healthy relationships, and promotes personal growth.
Residence halls close during major college vacation periods.
Meals Students who live on campus eat in the Student Union. The Cafeteria serves three meals a day, Monday through Saturday, and two meals on Sunday. Four meal plans are available to upperclass students. The Den, a snack bar in the Student Union, serves sandwiches and other quick food items. On weekdays, students may transfer meal credits from the Cafeteria to the Den with a one-day advance notice.
