What is student life about at Wheaton College? We’re a community that’s devoted to developing the whole student. Here, faith, living, and learning are intimately intertwined.
Wheaton College is a distinctively Christian institution in all different aspects of campus life, including offering a variety of places of worship. Meeting in chapel three times a week, campus small groups, and the emphasis of integration of faith and learning in the classroom are just three very visible examples of the many ways that faith is at the heart of everything we do on campus.

At Wheaton College, we believe that what happens in the classroom is just one aspect of the unique educational experience provided by living on campus. Residence Life at Wheaton seeks to form a Christian community guided by our Community Covenant, a community which includes everything from making a home together in campus housing to enjoying our award-winning campus dining together. Living on campus, whether in dorm rooms of residence halls or other university housing, will enhance your learning and growth outside the classroom in unique ways.
Wheaton is committed to promoting the full flourishing of students of diverse backgrounds, and provides opportunities for majority students to engage with issues of diversity.

Originally written in 1924 by Wheaton’s second president, Charles Blanchard, the Statement of Faith articulates Wheaton’s foundational Christian convictions that guide the integration of Christian faith, learning and living among the faculty, administration, staff and students. A link to a faculty video series explaining the importance of this statement is also included.
The Community Covenant equips the members of Wheaton College to apply the Statement of Faith’s foundational Christian convictions in our love for God and one another. Originally written in 1974 under Wheaton’s fifth president, Hudson Armerding, and revised in 2003 under Wheaton’s seventh president, Duane Litfin, the Community Covenant articulates a vision for responsible Christian freedom and dependence on God’s grace.
The Student Handbook seeks to provide clear policies and procedures that foster the implementation of the Community Covenant among students.
