Your new home away from home should make you feel relaxed and comfortable, whether you live in a residence hall or commute from home.
At Pennsylvania Western University, you can choose from three unique campuses, each nestled in a picturesque, vibrant town. Choose a lakeside community or one sprawling along a river’s bend.
Although each campus is distinctly different, they share a common goal of offering you the best educational and life experience, both in and out of the classroom.
As a Pennsylvania Western University student, you’ll have the opportunity to take courses from professors at each campus. You will also enjoy robust shared student support programs and resources, clubs and organizations, athletics, intramurals and so much more. See what each of our campuses has to offer you.
