    This university is smaller than some high schools. Provides a real sense of community and caring.

    Am learning a lot

    Great environment to learn...small classes and informative and helpful professors.
    Am enjoying being here

    It's a nice environment, but can get boring at times.
    Bang for the buck

    Received a lot of scholarships from the school so if you have the grades, you will get the aid.
    Tips for prospective students

    Tour the campus and spend the night with a student before deciding to attend. WU is very small and that should be considered.
    Great for these types of students

    laid-back, hard working, looking to meet people.

    Waynesburg University at first just seemed to be another school. After talking to transfer students it is really worth the money and the time. Everyone goes into college wanting one time, a diploma but at WU you get more than that. This college has so much to offer you no matter what your main interest is. They have every possible club and you could help so many people. They offer so many mission trips and community service events. This school always has activities that are educational, for examples speakers in their area in which they have studied, also activities that are just for fun like Casino night and you could win really cool prizes. The teachers here actually care and a really understanding. I have talk to many people who have transferred here and said they have learned so much more here because of the smaller class sizes and because the teachers and really willing to work with you and help you. If you need help they can help you or even Pam, who takes care of tutoring, she is amazing in setting up tutors. This school is so great and there is so much to do, so much to learn, and everyone is super nice.
    Tips for prospective students

    Study hard, do not slack off, do your assignments and look to teachers and upperclassman to help you.

    at waynesburg they not only want to grow as a student but as an individual as well. they place high priority on grades but also on getting involved in the community locally and nationally through things like community service and mission trips.
    Am enjoying being here

    yes but it is a challenge. Waynesburg is definately not for everyone. the school is very small and it can definately be boring on the weekends when you first get here but the more activities you get involved in the less time you spend being bored.
    Bang for the buck

    it is a little expensive but it does offer many different scholarships to incoming students. but the best thing about Waynesburg are the people. they make coming worthwhile. while the education you get here is great the people are what make you stay. they're so warm, understanding and sincere and so eager to help it makes leaving home that much easier.
    Tips for prospective students

    don't be afraid to talk to people you may not know, and if you smile at others they will smile back at you, but most important join an activity whether it be sports, student senate, student activities board whatever not only will it help you meet other students but it will keep you occupied when class is over and they give you free stuff
    Great for these types of students

    friendly, outgoing, hard working, easy to get along with

    Am learning a lot

    I have had the chance to learn so much and do a lot of hands on experiences. I learned things within my field of study and beyond my field. I feel like you learn way more here than in high school but it is fun learning it because you are learning things that you are actually interested in!
    Am enjoying being here

    The University is so nice and all the professors make your stay here enjoyable! The campus is beautiful and there is lots to do! The kids on campus are all really nice, even the upperclassmen. You feel at home on this campus.
    Tips for prospective students

    Always get things in on time there are no late work allowed. Also be nice to everyone because you never know who can help you out in the future and who you may have to work with. Get to know your professors because they can be a big help.
    Great for these types of students

    Students who like small campuses. Students who like getting to know your professors one on one and vise verse. People who like living close with students around you and students who like hands on experiences.

    In three sentences

    Falsely advertise they are a Christian school. Never saw anyone pray ever there. Nothing in the classroom that incorporate Christian beliefs.
    Tips for prospective students

    Don't go to doctorate program if you seek a real Christian learning experience
    Academic Rigor

    They just made it up as they went along. Fragmented and instructors were not well educated on topics they taught. Faculty is a swinging door.
    Dorm Life

    Very old creepy building
    Food and Dining

    They supply some snacks sometimes to keep you awake.
    Bang for the buck

    Not a diploma worth hanging on your wall. Save your money and try another program. Anyone can label themselves a Christian school these days it appears. A true disappointment. You could only tell it is a Christian school if you go to web site. So sad...keep praying they will integrate faith more in program.

    Most professors are genuinely concerned about your academics. All you have to do is ask and they will help you to the best of their abilities. Plus, student tutoring is offered where you can be taught by students who have gotten an A or B in the course
    Am enjoying being here

    Waynesburg is definitely an amazing school. The campus is wonderful, and not all that secluded from the town. The environment here is indescribable. The best way to discover is to be here yourself.
    Bang for the buck

    Definitely worth every cent, especially if you aren't actually paying.
    Tips for prospective students

    Check your financial aid to make sure everything is set. University doesn't always tell you if something is wrong until the last minute.

    Yes. The programs at WU are very rigorous, especially the sciences. They require a lot of work, but the teachers and other staff are always willing to help. There are even tutors for every subject so there is no need to not understand the material. The key is to stay on top of assignments and that means before it is due.
    Am enjoying being here

    I love it here. It's a small town and really not much to do on the weekends, but once you have that main group of friends it goes by so quickly. I enjoy the various activities they have almost everyday, which is where that activity fee comes from. Mainly people are in Pitt or WV, so you'll get to know people out there. Since I'm involved in a lot of clubs you get to know so many people on campus, who may know the surrounding areas and other fun places. The campus has a lot of hills, but that's where exercise comes in.
    Bang for the buck

    Of course! It's small, private, and affordable. Yes a huge bang. Plus, I was awarded many scholarships from the university. You just have to keep inquiring and stay in the financial aid office. Sometimes you have to ask a lot of questions to get the bucks you need. Also, people in the local community give out scholarships to students. You may think your paying a lot going in, but with the time spent there it's really priceless. I have had so much fun and I just finished my freshman year. You just have to make the money stretch and the memories count.
    Tips for prospective students

    Come into the university ready to learn and wanting to meet new people. It's great when you can build new relationships that can lead to that future career of yours. Be prepared for sleepless nights, but don't make it a habit. Learn how to manage your time before you get here. It will take some time, but by junior year you should have it down. Try to get involved in things you know you can commit to, but don't overwhelm yourself if you can't handle it. Make sure you get to know the staff because they come in handy. Try not to eat more than what you normally do because the freshman 15 maybe become the freshman 30, but the gym is always open and that's helpful too. Finally take advantge of all the free events because you are paying for it.
    Great for these types of students

    Students who are faith-based or wanting to strengthen their faith, wants a change from the area they are in, wants a small size campus, enjoys meeting friendly and caring people, wants a diverse campus and an encouraging academic environment.

    Tips for prospective students

    This is a small college with a lot of one on one time with the professors, which is the best thing a student could ever ask for. Also, you quickly learn a lot of people and faces on campus because it is so small and you make lots of friends.
    Great for these types of students

    Quiet, reserved, hard working, studious, travelers, mission trip goers, community service lovers, CHRISTIANS
