Wittenberg offers Summer housing for students taking classes, working on campus, or with other academic obligations (completing research or an internship). For Summer 2024, housing will be available in Sprecher Apartments, Keller Apartments, and New Hall. If you are currently living in a house or apartment (Witten'Burbs) and renewed the same space for Fall, it may be possible for you to stay in your current home over Summer. If you are moving to a new assignment in the fall you will need to move to summer housing.
