Residence Life and Dining

As a primarily residential campus, Waynesburg University offers a variety of living opportunities. In traditional residence halls, you’ll live with and near fellow residents, ready for late night study sessions and, of course, study breaks. Our suite-style residence halls, feature rooms that have larger living spaces and private bathrooms to foster a more independent environment.

Thayer Hall
A traditional male residence hall with a second floor dedicated to freshmen. The first and third floors house all class levels. 

Martin Hall
Home to freshmen through senior men. The fourth and fifth floors remain exclusively for freshmen.

Denny Hall
Many of our freshmen female students live here, as well as upperclassmen who return each year. The 3rd floor is reserved for freshmen.

Burns Hall 
A female residence hall with large lounge areas and patio outside the hall. The 3rd floor is reserved for freshmen.

Ray Hall
A female residence hall with a close-knit, one-floor layout. Half of Ray Hall is reserved for freshmen.
 

South West East & Pollock Halls
Or as we like to call it “SWEP,” is a unique village-style community for women.
 
Willison Hall
A suite-style feel for male upperclassmen, typically juniors and seniors.
