When you arrive at W&J, you become part of a talented and engaging student body that is recognized for its abilities, dedication and integrity. W&J offers exceptional opportunities to participate in activities outside of the classroom that all add value to your education and experience inside the classroom. You will have access to mentors, advisors, peer counselors and success consultants that will help you navigate your time on campus.
Living at W&J College
From our First Year Residence Halls to Residential Learning Communities, you'll find a place to call home. You'll join a safe and supportive community for sharing meals and making memories.
Thriving the First Year
All four years at W&J College are fun, but your first year is special. Meet your first roommates. Connect with your alumni mentor (who will send you cookies on your first day!). Find your tribe. Your first year is the beginning of belonging to a strong, lifelong community.
Finding Yourself at W&J College
Maybe you know your goal is medical school. Or maybe you're not sure yet where you're headed. Both paths are possible at W&J College. Here, you'll discover limitless connections. You might uncover connections between cuisine and communication that will make you a better cook and a better doctor, or unearth a passion for wildlife conservation through one of the student clubs.
If you’re coming here and you know no one, you can find your group of people-a group of people who will be accepting of who you are, your background, and will help integrate you into the culture.
Seven Washington & Jefferson College (W&J) students have been selected to receive stipends from W&J’s Merck Internships for Excellence in Science program to support off-campus biomedical research internships in Summer 2022.
“I am very grateful,” she said. “Dr. Shaughnessy was the first German professor I had a class with at W&J, and he was the reason I became a German major. He saw more potential in my abilities, when it came to learning and using the German language, than I ever did myself.”
We would love to show you around.
