About Wabash College

Wabash College is one of the nation's last all-male liberal arts colleges, known for seminar-style classes, close faculty attention, and a real emphasis on writing, speaking, and analytical thinking. Students tap well-kept labs and studios, a classic library, strong tutoring and writing support, health and counseling services, and a career center that digs in early. Recreation and athletics spaces stay lively, and the arts have visible homes on campus.

The culture is close knit and tradition heavy, guided by the Gentleman's Rule of personal responsibility. Greek life, residence halls, student media, theater, music, and service groups keep calendars full, with intramurals and plenty of outdoor time. Career prep runs through internships, alumni mentorship, and employer visits. Crawfordsville offers a walkable downtown, parks, and community partnerships for volunteering or work, with bigger options within easy reach. And yes, the Monon Bell rivalry rings loud.
