The First Year Experience
Experience DWU
From day one, you'll belong.
Leaving home can feel overwhelming, but you won't do it alone.
Imagine moving into your residence hall, meeting classmates who quickly become friends, and professors who greet you by name. Before classes even begin, you'll feel part of a community that wants you to succeed.
Your community is waiting.
The DWU campus is beautiful with newly constructed buildings and five residential halls. Play on the new DWU Tiger Disc Golf Course. Hang out with friends at D-Dub's. Grab a beverage at the Tiger Café in McGovern Library. Enjoy a quiet moment outside in the Jackson Plaza Courtyard.
Did we mention the city surrounding campus? Mitchell is unique and surprising with shopping, restaurants, parks and bike paths and THE World's Only Corn Palace.
Start here, grow here.
At DWU, learning is personal. Classes are intentionally small with a student-to-faculty ratio of 12:1. Here, people will know you. Cheer for you. Encourage you every step of the way. You'll never be just another face in the crowd.
Worried about adjusting to college life? Don't be! Our faculty and courses will help you integrate into the campus community and will illustrate DWU’s core values of learning, leadership, faith and service. Every class, every activity and every relationship will help prepare you for life after college.
At DWU, you'll grow into your best self and we will be with you every step of the way.
Tech at your fingertips.
Technology is part of everyday life at DWU. Enjoy campus-wide Wi-Fi, your personal iPad with access to Apple TVs, and learn the fundamentals of artificial intelligence with BoodleBox — giving you practical skills you'll use in college and beyond.
