Off-campus housing is the predominant option for upperclassmen at W&L, but is it safe? Some students, used to a strict honor code, rarely lock their doors, leaving them wide open to danger.
W&L's campus is monitored by a troop of
security officers all day and all night. When students move off-campus,
away from this constant supervision and the small, tight-knit W&L
community, they can be easy targets for break-ins and theft.
