A lot of people judge WVU (because of the social atmosphere), but I have come to discover that WVU offers a great, quality education.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Take a tour, especially when classes are in session. You will get a great feel for the atmosphere. Also, be sure to explore all three campuses, there is so much to see!
Select a dorm on the campus where most of your classes will be. This allows you to get a little bit of extra rest in the morning.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Like any school, the difficulty of your classes will depend on what exactly you choose to take. As a Biology/Pre-med major I felt challenged in all of my courses. Definitely recommend checking out tutoring for chemistry classes.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
WVU has many dorms to choose from, so investigate them all and find the perfect one for you. If your classes are downtown choose a dorm downtown, such a Boreman Hall. If your classes are on Evansdale, choose dorm near Evansdale, such as Lincoln Hall.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
I honestly enjoyed all the food at WVU. Just as there are many dorms to choose from, there are multiple dining halls to choose from and everyone has their favorite. I loved Boreman Bistro; they have a great salad bar, deli, and even a coffee bar. If you're looking for something after a good work out at the student rec, try the Juice Bar at Evansdale Crossing. Looking for some of your favorite chain restaurants? Check the Mountainlair!
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
I spent a lot of my time at the Student Rec Center. If you enjoy exercise, you'll love it.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
WVU is very reasonably priced, in or out of state.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
There is a club for everything (seriously). And if you can't find what you're looking for you can start your own!
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
I always felt safe at WVU. Campus police are always present, especially at night. Also, there are so many people on campus you are rarely ever somewhere alone.
