Favorite Thing About Whitworth: Students have opportunities at Whitworth that surpass the standards of a larger institution.

The level of personalized guidance and support provided by faculty and staff is what makes Whitworth exceptional.
Advice for Whitworth Applicants: Don't feel like you must have everything at once. The best thing you can do is simply get started! Just take it one step at a time.
Free-for-All: Come take a walk with me! When I lived in Munich, a perfect day for me started with a walk through the English Garden to the Haus der Kunst where I would stop for a cappuccino and absorb the fine ambience and interior design of the cafe. Then I would make my way to Salotto for a pizza, sitting in a beautiful square near the Kirche St. Anna. After that, I would walk along Maximilianstraße towards the city center where I would people-watch and admire all the sites, from hair styles and clothing to little shops and architecture. My final stop would be at Odeonsplatz where I would visit the Theatinerkirche to pray and have a moment of silence. I would walk all day if I could!
