WVU was the perfect University for me. I grew up in Frederick MD and wanted to be a distance away from home but not too far, go to an affordable yet strong Biology program to build a good foundation for a career in healthcare, and I wanted a school that was closely tied to a hospital that would foster good training and job opportunities during and after my degree. WVU had all of that packed into a smaller city/ large town full of opportunities for extracurriculars and service projects to add to any of my graduate/professional applications and overall college experience. This place gives you the tools to thrive in college and is a more accepting and diverse campus than I ever expected!
I love West Virginia University! It has such a variety of classes, professors, clubs and even people. They find a way to make evryone feel welcome, and feel they have a voice. My experience with WVU has been amazing so far. They have great events for the students, along with amazing ways to bring everyone together and make friends. If I were to have something changed or worked on, it would be the PRT or a better way of transportation between the Evansdale and downtown campus, definitely since, the PRT is not very reliable.
I picked West Virginia University because of its smaller size initially. However, going into my senior year WVU has encompassed all the characteristics of a big college. WVU has great professors, diversity, many resources to help its students, and that friendly feel to it. Located in Morgantown, WV there is plenty of things to do in your free time and is still only about an hour from my hometown. To me, it’s the perfect choice!
