What should every freshman at your school know before they start?
Approaching the end of my college career at this point, I often wish I could back in time to that final year of high school and tell myself to go to a university and pursue what I deeply desired instead of allowing fear to dictate my path. I'd further tell myself to not be afraid to venture out on my own. I've learned alot about myself since I first started college and it has been a very positive experience. Going to community college gave me a chance to dabble in different interests--literature, fine arts, business if given a second chance I would not squander my time I would explore these interests at a university. I'd also remind myself of the network of people I wouldn't want to miss out on meeting at a four year institution. I would tell my younger, naive self not to take for granted the oppertunity that was in front of me by wallowing in the fact that high schoold didn't go the way I wanted it to. All this said, I cannot go back. I can only move foward and make the most of what lies ahead.

What are the academics like at your school?
Class participation is wanted and common, because it is a relatively small school. The education department, which is what I am majoring in, is excellent. The instructors care, want you to learn, and will help in any way possible. New River works with Glenville State College on transfer programs so the classes your receive are relatively the same as a larger college.

What kind of person should not attend this school?
A student who has already determined what they want their career to be, should not attend this school because here you take the core classes that you need. In doing so, you can decide on what you want your college career to be. If they have their career chosen, or a scholarship paying for all the finances for a university, I suggest for them to attend there. Otherwise, a technical school is a smart decision to make: it is cheap, affordable, and close to home.
