Yes. The programs at WU are very rigorous, especially the sciences. They require a lot of work, but the teachers and other staff are always willing to help. There are even tutors for every subject so there is no need to not understand the material. The key is to stay on top of assignments and that means before it is due.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
I love it here. It's a small town and really not much to do on the weekends, but once you have that main group of friends it goes by so quickly. I enjoy the various activities they have almost everyday, which is where that activity fee comes from. Mainly people are in Pitt or WV, so you'll get to know people out there. Since I'm involved in a lot of clubs you get to know so many people on campus, who may know the surrounding areas and other fun places. The campus has a lot of hills, but that's where exercise comes in.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Of course! It's small, private, and affordable. Yes a huge bang. Plus, I was awarded many scholarships from the university. You just have to keep inquiring and stay in the financial aid office. Sometimes you have to ask a lot of questions to get the bucks you need. Also, people in the local community give out scholarships to students. You may think your paying a lot going in, but with the time spent there it's really priceless. I have had so much fun and I just finished my freshman year. You just have to make the money stretch and the memories count.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Come into the university ready to learn and wanting to meet new people. It's great when you can build new relationships that can lead to that future career of yours. Be prepared for sleepless nights, but don't make it a habit. Learn how to manage your time before you get here. It will take some time, but by junior year you should have it down. Try to get involved in things you know you can commit to, but don't overwhelm yourself if you can't handle it. Make sure you get to know the staff because they come in handy. Try not to eat more than what you normally do because the freshman 15 maybe become the freshman 30, but the gym is always open and that's helpful too. Finally take advantge of all the free events because you are paying for it.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Students who are faith-based or wanting to strengthen their faith, wants a change from the area they are in, wants a small size campus, enjoys meeting friendly and caring people, wants a diverse campus and an encouraging academic environment.
