Waynesburg University Waynesburg Pennsylvania

Known for its close proximity to four city parks, Waynesburg University makes it easy for students to enjoy nature in the southwestern Pennsylvania foothills. A total of about 15 acres of parkland serve as a great complement to the total 30 acre campus, so students are never too far from tree lined sidewalks and promenades. Founded in 1849, Waynesburg University is dominated by classic American architecture; the iconic Hanna Hall and Miller Hall each enjoy spots on the National Register of Historic Places. Interestingly, the bricks used in Miller Hall were actually formed by university students over a century ago. The university has managed to balance its exemplary historical edifices and unspoiled rural surroundings with modern facilities as well; renovations to Thayer and Stewart halls commenced in fall 2012 and new dorms are planned.
