WJU is a small University (not a college) that is extremely focused on sports, having almost every student involved in one, but that still is demanding enough to give you the feel of decent academic standards. Depending on where you are living life could be quite different nevertheless the cafeteria is usually criticized (most of times it is unfairly done), and the campus is pretty great in general. The main issues with WJU are that there is nothing to do in Wheeling (has kind of the look of an abandoned city sometimes), that because it is too small it is easy to get tired of hanging out with the same people (the feel of a high school), and that the university cares mostly about incoming students more than the already enrolled ones.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
There is never enough research that can be done to decide on something as important as your education.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
It literally is what you make of it. Every couple of weeks there's karaoke and party at the Ratt (University Bar). Also, there are usually a lot of sport games and other activities.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Athletes, academic-driven students, international students, people from the area.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
It used to be really safe but there are still a couple of events every once in a while.
