West Virginia University was crucial to my growth as an individual, young professional, and lifetime learner. The amount of opportunities and avenues that you can pursue really allow you to make the most of whatever you're interested in. I've changed my path many times throughout starting my time here, and I feel that I have always been supported and been given significant options to try and explore. Career fairs, resume workshops, and networking opportunities are abundant. The campus is absolutely gorgeous and taken care of throughout all seasons; it's truly beautiful. The culture around the university and our sports teams connects people from across the world and really makes me feel part of something bigger. It's a big school, but you can make it as small as you want. It's also almost 50% women, which is great!
I loved everything about my time here! Tbh I still miss it. The academics were rigorous but doable and I feel they prepared me incredibly well to go into the workforce. I absolutely adore the area the university is located in, and the party scene can't be beat! You can tailor your education to suit any interests you might have - I did History, Spanish, and Communications. The sky really is the limit and WVU will help you get there! They also have tons of stuff for students always going on, from free food at varying times to concerts and plays, the sports, finals week relaxation (hello, therapy dogs!) and so much more. I can't recommend it enough.
I loved the diversity and activities always available at this university. I had a great time here along with a great education. I thought that I had some great professors, as they showed the effort to get to know all of their students and help everyone of them exceed. At this university if you put in the work and devote yourself to succeeding it is possible with the resources they provide. If you are someone that finds it hard to concentrate with outside activities happening, it might be hard to focus here because something is always happening. The university creates great opportunities to get away from school and just focus on having fun! I loved how they did this, because I needed this a lot of times.
