West Virginia University Top Questions

Carefree, fun, and diverse

Very friendly, easy to meet people.

My classmates are easily separated into the "will graduate" pile and the "will not make it through freshman year" pile.

Again, with so many students you're sure to find a bunch of different types. However, most freshman tend to be kids who like to drink and/or go out. Most students are friendly people but they seem to not really want to get close unless you meet them the first few weeks of school. Then friendship groups tend to form and unless you take initiative, then you can be ostracized. My best advice would be find students you really connect with because there are others like you at the school. Really. It's only discouraging trying to find them because like I said, there are so many people here so it is hard if you don't like the people in your dorm. Personally, my freshman year, I tended to get along better with upperclassmen because they don't do stupid things as much as freshmen tend to do.

My nursing friends are very dedicated to learning the profession and the teachers are very helpful and knowledgeable. The major is very difficult - almost to the pre-med level so you have to be very disciplined to do well.

My classmates give the classes and student life the right mix of fun and focused, and everyone you come accross will do anything to help make your time here enjoyable.

They have become good friends and are good people

West Virginia University classmates are diverse, outgoing, accepting and fun-loving.

At West Virginia University, my classmates are a mix of students from all different backgrounds and cultures who have decided to attend WVU for a variety of reasons.

I have seen and met many diverse people here at WVU, but not once have I felt like they were judging me. WVU has a very welcoming, friendly, accepting environment. If you're a Mountaineer fan, then you're a friend!
