I just love the mountaineer energy, excited professors, and school spirit surrounding the school. I think there are such incredible facilities to make the experience incredible from the state-of-the-art rec center, the PRTs, and the overall location. WVU never fails to give activities for every student. From fall fest to the downtown area to wilderness trips and a million things in between. You absolutely feel cared about by each member of the staff. It's a huge school so I was not entirely convinced this would be the case. They are reactive to any issues you bring to the table, you never feel like a low priority. They offer so many ways to help you succeed with free tutoring, multiple libraries, and intensive career services. They have such easily navigatble softwares and websites to help students with job finding and volunteer opurtunities. You will never feel alone here or like no one is willing to help. There is no way to be bored on campus either. It is an amazing place!
My four years of undergraduate study at WVU were quite memorable. Within the first few weeks of living in my dorm room, I developed friendships with people that will last a lifetime. Introductory classes that are not GEF electives are hit or miss, but once you get into your upper level classes, you will love it. The professors, especially in the biology department, are very knowledgable and are willing to help you get on the path to achieve your dreams. The only caveat is that you can't be afraid to ask. Traveling between Downtown and Evansdale can be a struggle. The buses are more reliable than the PRT. If you have a car, or know a friend who has one, there are plenty of beautiful outdoor places to visit just outside of town. However, driving in Morgantown is horrendous during the school year. There is always something to do Downtown on the weekends, but don't feel pressured to go out every day. It may be an adjustment depending on where you're from, but the people are amazing!
West Virginia University is such a LIVE place to be. Every single day a new club or activity is going on in our student union. Everyone is included here, Fraternities, Sororities, ROTC, and Sports all come together to be something bigger than themselves.
Classes vary in size but every professor is always willing to sit one on one with a student. Students are always willing to get together to study also! It’s a great learning environment.
WVU is a Division I school. Everyone there cares so much about sports and going to games.
