About Us

The University Commons is the heart of the campus, both geographically and socially, where the community gathers for daily and special events. Highlights include the Paterson Food Court, an arcade/entertainment center, student lounge spaces, a prayer and meditation room, the WP Campus Bookstore and Marketplace, and the newly renovated Wayne Dining Hall. We have something for everyone in the University Commons Stop by and find your community here!
