Student Life
There’s more to student life at West Chester University than brochures and campus tours can capture. We cover the commuter experience, follow sororities and student orgs running events and service projects, and dig up the campus resources nobody tells you about. Some of it is practical, and some of it is heavier, like career confusion, grief, and the things people go through but rarely talk about. Whether you’re already a Golden Ram or still thinking about becoming one, this is a good place to start.
