Ever since the day I moved in sometime in August, I have felt like this college is home to me. It is a smaller college, which makes things easier to do such as talk with your professors and such. I have enjoyed my experience with friends as well, really allows you to connect with other people! Being that it is a Christian university also allows you to attend chapel and experience things that most colleges would not offer or do. The dorm/living situation is not bad either! A lot of freshman complain about the dorms, I feel that they are sufficient enough for me and make me feel comfortable in my living situation. The food is not too bad either, it all depends on what you get! I tend to stay away from the chicken, sometimes it is overcooked and hard to eat! There are also a lot of events monthly to get the students involved and I really enjoy that too! Overall, my experience as a freshman at Waynesburg University has been pretty good! I would definitely recommend this school to others!
The experience I had at Waynesburg was great. I learned several things about myself, what I want in a career, how certain people can help you get certain things, and what it takes to become successful. I wasn't a very outgoing person while I was there but there are things to do to get involved and have an entertaining time while still getting a solid education. The criminal justice program is one of the top programs around and our biology department is wonderful as well. I wasn't real interested in arts and theater, but that department is very good, too.
Waynesburg got my attention because it's located in a smaller town that is similar to where I grew up. The surroundings made it feel like I was still at home, except my parents and siblings weren't around so I was able to make decisions for myself. The opportunity to make those decisions is what helped make me who I am today.

If you don't like the high school atmosphere, Waynesburg University isn't the school for you. It is exactly like my high school if not worse. However, since the community is so close-knit, professors know your name and take the time to get to know you 101. All the buildings are within 5 minutes of each other, and the campus is beautiful. There is not much to do in the town, but the Student Activities Board conducts several activities that take place in Pittsburgh or around campus to prevent boredom. The faulty and students are genuinely kind as well.
