Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

For most of us at W&J, “public transportation” is that kid who can’t say no when someone asks him for a ride. There isn’t a set schedule, and it’s not 100 percent reliable, but it’ll usually get you where you need to go. If “public transportation” is in class or can’t be found, then you’ll just have to walk. Unfortunately, the only shopping centers are not convenient walks from campus, so getting there and back definitely requires some wheels. After you get to know the city better, you’ll understand that it doesn’t have public transportation because it doesn’t particularly need it. Unless you need to do some shopping, you can walk almost everywhere else. If you have a car on campus, then the near-total lack of public transportation won’t be an issue. If you do not have a car on campus, then make sure you befriend someone who does. Having access to a car can be invaluable for
late-night food runs, given that you can’t use your meal plans past 11 p.m. on campus. Thankfully, the College provides shuttles to the two nearest shopping centers, Trinity Point and Strabane Square, as well as shuttles up to Pittsburgh on Friday and Saturday nights. These can go a long way to fulfilling retail and party needs alike, so take advantage of them.

Small Campus

Our campus is extremely small so there is really no need for transportation on campus. There is a weekly shuttle to shopping in the surrounding area's when needed.

If you need to go off campus you will have to have a car. However, everything you need is not too far from school, so students don't have much of a need to leave.
