Around Town

Most people spend their free time outside, going on hikes or bike rides, or going to the rock wall. A lot of students also just get together and hang out. Everyone is willing to go out onto the main field (Ankney) and chill out if its a nice day.

At Whitman there is always something to do whether it is joining clubs, going to parties during the weekend, taking strolls, getting athletically fit at the Rock Climbing Wall, or simply going into town.

The Whitman campus always has events going on. If you are a party person, you can always go to the greek parties which happen pretty much every weekend. The town of Walla Walla is small, but like I said, I think the college puts of enough events to keep you entertained. We have a group called WEB, which is the Whitman Events Board, and they bring guest speakers to campus, put on movie screenings, bring a kind of well-known artist every year to perform a concert.

Many events such as movie screenings, public speakers, student musicians, etc. are put on during the week. Lots of people go to house or frat parties on the weekends, but there is no pressure to be involved in the party scene.

There are multiple clubs to join, intramural sports, rock climbing wall, functions at sororities and fraternities are just a few examples.
