MUW enrollment for the 2014-2015 school year is higher than in recent years, and some degree programs on campus are experiencing an unexpected a surge in their numbers.
The 2,697 students enrolled this fall make up the largest student population in more than 10 years. The university saw a 13 percent increase in transfer students, with many of those students coming from community colleges.

The life of a college student can be hectic and stressful, but making time for God makes a difference.
MUW offers a variety of religious organizations on campus to encourage students in their walks with Christ. These organizations welcome young people from all backgrounds.
The religious organizations currently on campus are the Baptist Student Union, Chi Alpha, Cross Culture, Let the Word Speak, Uquirk and the Wesley Foundation.

First of all, I would consider myself a geek. I love all things geeky such as video games, science fiction and most of all: new technology.
I wasn’t into technology until I bought my first iPhone. It was the iPhone 4, and I got it in 2012, which was a full two years after its release. After that, I was hooked. Now I spend several hours a day looking at YouTube channels that specialize in tech. My favorite channel is Marques Brownlee’s channel (https://www.youtube.com/user/marquesbrownlee). He is only 20 years old, but he is extremely knowledgable.

Now that we have all started our fall semester classes, it’s very easy for some of us to roll out of bed 10 minutes before class starts and just throw on gym shorts and a t-shirt.
Although I have a very busy schedule, it is still important to me to be fashion forward and dress to impress.
