Founded in 1855, William Paterson University is the third oldest public institution in New Jersey. William Paterson faculty and staff challenge students to high levels of intellectual and professional accomplishment and personal growth to prepare for careers, advanced studies, and productive citizenship. WPU graduates embody a profound sense of responsibility to their communities, commitment to a sustainable environment, and active involvement in a multicultural world. Located in suburban northern New Jersey, WPU is convenient to a wide range of apartments available for rent in Wayne. Housing options are even more plentiful in the nearby areas of Haledon, Prospect Park, and Downtown Paterson. Commuting and traveling from William Paterson is simple with access to Route 208 and I-80. More than 115 clubs and organizations, 28 fraternities and sororities, and 13 NCAA Division III sports teams keep WPU campus life exciting. William Paterson benefits from the peace of nature as well as the bustle of the city, sitting three miles from the historic Great Falls in Paterson yet just 20 miles from the rich cultural, artistic, and commercial life of New York City.
