Downtown

One of the best things about WCU is our location.

From the heart of North Campus, it's just a 10-minute walk to Downtown West Chester where you'll find restaurants for every flavor and shops for every style.

There's always something happening in West Chester from restaurant festivals and bike races to holiday parades and First Fridays.

Hi, my name is Julie and I'm a business management major from Lancaster, Pennsylvania.

One of the best things about WCU is our location in the West Chester borough just a 10-minute walk from the heart of North Campus.

Downtown Westchester has tons of employment opportunities including for internships and part-time and full-time jobs.

Besides all the employment opportunities, Westchester has lots of options when you want to kick back and grab a bite to eat with friends.

With more than 60 restaurants, there's something for everyone's taste and with dozens of independent shops there's also something to fit every style from thrift stores to high end boutiques.

Of course Westchester has grocery stores and markets too for those nights you want to impress your roommates with your culinary skills.

Westchester is also home to festivals and parades throughout the year that bring the whole town out to celebrate.

There are so many things to love about Westchester, both the university and in the borough.

What will be your favorite?
