The propagation of classical wave in disordered media at the Anderson localization transition is studied. Our results show that the classical waves may follow a different scaling behavior from that for electrons. For electrons, the effect of weak localization due to interference of recurrent scattering paths is limited within a spherical volume because of electron-electron or electron-phonon scattering, while for classical waves, it is the sample geometry that determine the amount of recurrent scattering paths that contribute. It is found that the weak localization effect is weaker in both cubic and slab geometry than in spherical geometry. As a result, the averaged static diffusion constant D(L) scales like ln(L)/L in cubic or slab geometry and the corresponding transmission follows
