What?! The Wawa wasn't always open 24 hours a day? How did undergrads back then survive especially during those crucial midnight to 6 am hours when pulling allnighters working on their senior theses?
For decades, the "Wa" has been a campus mainstay. Plans for a relocated Wawa were even included into the University's proposed new arts neighborhood.
Sadly, over the past year, Wawa has closed a slew of stores in Pennsylvania. Let's hope the venerable Princeton Wawa never sees this fate and will truly be perennial.
