I really like West Liberty. The atmosphere of the campus is great, the students seem to like it and are very welcoming to all new students. The staff for student services has been great to offer assistance when needed. I love the personal feel that the school has overall. You are not treated as a number at West Liberty. You are an individual and are treated as such from the staff and the faculty is very helpful. I have been in contact with the soccer coaches and they have been great helping me with information for playing. The financial aid department has been great! They have been helpful with the entire process of finding aid to help me make my college dream come true. I am looking forward to being a Hilltopper and representing West Liberty on and off the Soccer field.
West Liberty University is a small college. The campus is beautiful, with small distances between buildings and dorms. The college offers a multitude of majors but specializes in biology and dental hygiene. However, the location makes it difficult for many things. You will often see a power outage, water line break, or restaurants shut down over the entire campus and specific dorm halls. The lack of activities during the COVID-19 pandemic makes it difficult to connect with new people on campus. There are limited food options and there is only one restaurant open after 9:00 pm. West Liberty University provides a close-to-home feel but lacks everywhere else.
I have only taken one class online through West Liberty University, but the professor simply does the minimum work required. The modules and tests are difficult to understand, and the professor fails to respond to emails. The professor takes a very long time to grade work turned in and often gets behind on assignments.
