I love most of my classes. My professors are super kind other than one bad one I had. The campus is absolutly gorgeous with all of the hills. With the pandemic, all gyms and a few dinning halls are closed this year. This is greatly dissapointing especially in the winter where there is no where for me to excersize. The school is greatly handeling the pandemic while still allowing some classes to remain in person. I just wish there were more activities we could do where we could actually meet people. School’s a little depressing with zero social life. Food here is amazing though and there are still plenty of dinning options despite a good chunk being shut down during the pandemic.
The application process for WVSU was very easy going and it made things a lot less complicated when applying to the school. Now being at the school as a full time student, I have noticed after just one semester that the professors are here for the students and want the students to pass and succeed. I like how the class sizes are not that big which makes it feel kind of like a high school in that sense. The president of the school is wanting all students to pass in four years so no one has to pay more money than what they should. He is very big on the "15 in 4" policy and I respect that because if someone wants to go to grad school they should get out of their undergrad in four years! Overall, as much as I am not a fan of where the school is located, the academic side of things makes everything better because I know I can go get tutoring if need be.
I like the people, education and the sports team that we have. The only downside is the town that it is in, is polluted with drugs, homeless and, small terrible roads. The education and recourses are separate from the town, but the surrounding area is not good for anyone! The campus is beautiful and the nature that comes with it is also very beautiful.
