Mountwest Community & Technical College

• 2 Year
• Huntington, WV
• 76

Recent Alumnus: Mountwest Community and Technical College offered smaller classes and professors that were helpful and interested in teaching you the course in your major. They made assignments hands-on, allowed paired assignments and gave us time to ask questions and get important feedback. Earning my degree at MCTC was very challenging at times, but overall a wonderful experience. It they offered Bachelor's programs, it would have been my first choice!

Potomac State College of West Virginia University

• 4 Year
• Keyser, WV
• 172

Freshman: I like being apart of Potomac State College because it is a local college. I commute, so it is not far from where I live. I have enjoyed in being apart of the classes. The classes here are small, not to large to were you can not focus on what you need to learn. Something I would like to change about Potomac State is the housing and safety. The housing are an average and so is the safety. The college could improve on these things by being more above average and taking the students advice when they try to change the issues.

Bethany College - West Virginia

• 4 Year
• Bethany, WV
• 273

Alum: Alumni networking is huge. After I was hired for my first local job, I learned that the HR directors son was an alumni. She raved over the Bethany education and it's reputation. One should never under estimate the power of networking. Bethany is a small community situated in the gorgeous mountains of WV. It offers a beautiful landscape for mountain bike riding and hiking. There are creeks, trails, farms and fields. Old Mains historic architecture is stunning. I lived in Phillips Hall for 3 years. It is a gorgeous gothic residence hall with double and single room occupancy. Bethany also boasts more modern living in the Campbell Village suites. Greek housing is also offered beyond freshman year. The professors are very caring and well versed in their field. They are accessible and they want you to succeed. You are not just a number in small Bethany classroom. I would be honored if any of my children were accepted as Legacies.

Pierpont Community & Technical College

• 2 Year
• Fairmont, WV
• 113

Senior: I am currently enrolled in the Health Information Technology Program at this college. Throughout my journey of schooling here I have always had a positive outlook on this college and the wonderful staff that is provided here. With only one more semester remaining before i graduate I am noticing the stress and anxiety arise. However, my professors all are very understanding and try to help ease my mind, relax, and succeed. I have had a few struggles throughout the 2 years I am been going to this school. However, if anyone employed at this college was certified to help with any of the problems they were always there for the students even if it was to give them personal advice. Even with all the help from this technical college and their staff students still tend to struggle financially and Pierpont has opened my eyes to different ways to earn the money to help pay for my education.

• 230

Sophomore: All of my professors have been nice, Professor Thompson in particular is always energetic and understanding, he really goes above and beyond for his students making sure we understand the material. The administrative staff is also really nice and they seem to care about the students as well. Those combined with the exceptional price of education makes this school an amazing place to study! The school has many study areas which are cozy, clean and well lit, as well as a tutoring center. The only slight drawback is parking for the Caperton Center and Applied Technology center leaves a bit to be desired, but the short walk is occasionally enjoyed.

Sophomore: The staff is very personable. They are always there for the student first. Very helpful and informative. The campus can be kind of confusing between buildings looking somewhat similar. However, the staff has recently provided several ways to improve the direction of where to go for classes. Most professors are extremely caring and understanding. They work with the students inside and out of the university. The learning process is very well thought out and re-looked at many times with many eyes to make sure it is the best possible scenario for the students.

Ohio Valley University

• 4 Year
• Vienna, WV
• 94

Freshman: I live in Parkersburg, West Virginia so I know all about Vienna. It's a very good place to grow up or go to college because it's pretty safe around these parts. There's not too much to do here but it's just a good area to live in. I'm studying energy management and production engineering (EMPE) and so far I'm loving it and I just got straight a's for my first semester. Dr. Blair is the main professor for EMPE and he's one of the best people that you could ever meet. We have 4 social groups for students to join in; which are delta, kappa, sigma, and theta. Joining a group is a good way to make new friends, make memories, compete in sports against other social groups, and a good way to get community service hours. I'm also a thrower for OVU's track and field team and it's also been a lot of fun but challenging at the same time because this has been our first year. We have a lot of other sports for people to do here also.
