Activities at WCU

Connecting to campus is very important to student success and there are a number of ways and opportunities for students to get involved at WCU. If you are hearing from your student that there is not a lot to do at West Chester, or they are not sure how to get involved on-campus then please take a look at the below links. These links to various WCU web pages can help to give you a picture of student life on the WCU campus, so that you can serve as a resource for your WCU student and be able to respond when they tell you there's nothing to do here!

Staying Healthy at WCU

Staying healthy is another component to student success at college. On campus, the WCU Health and Wellness Center serves as an excellent resource for students as well as a place that they can go for assistance. The University Counseling Center is another great resource available to WCU students.
