West Virginia State University is a wonderful educational opportunity. The grounds are beautiful and living in a dorm will be a great adventure for any student. Please do not judge this university on the past but on the present achievements it has received.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
I would recommend studying, showing up for class, and striving to graduate.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
It really depends on your major and ones study habits. I am a psychology major and have found the program enriching.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
Personally, I prefer Dawson to Sullivan. Dawson is much stricter than Sullivan. However, if you are a student who prefers to study and have a clean environment Dawson is perfect. Anyways, you can party off campus or at a friends house.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
The dining services are about what you expect at any college. I suggest if you are a picky eater than you should bring plenty of your favorites to have at hand.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
The campus is truly alive at night. There are always events, parties, or local bars to attend.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
College is expensive but not at State. You can pay less and get the same education as a private university. I would know. I transferred my sophomore year from a private university to West Virginia State University.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
The campus has a lot of folklore type shows and events that happen during the year. Modern events are always occurring also. However, even your typical homecoming or play is more community based and friendly feeling than what you get at other campuses.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Students who are hardworking, love to have fun, and can find college pride will love West Virginia State University.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
The clubs are amazing. The school offers every type of club for every personality. I became a member of Student Activities Council and love to organize and plan events each week for other peers.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
