West Virginia University Top Questions

I love how WVU offers so much to the students and community. It is so easy to not only feel like a WVU student but a Morgantown civilian. However, I wish there was not such a part scene. WVU is a large university but that is exactly how I like it. Everyone loves WVU because of the awesome school spirit we have. I am a resident assistant and spend most of my time doing my job in the dorms. The prfoessors and administraters are well practiced and do care for the success of thier students.

When applying to different colleges, WVU was very low on my list. It was in state and therefore, I wanted to get out and see other states more. Though I already travel a lot, I felt like being in West Virginia for college would force me to stay here. However, as I go on through the years here at WVU, I realize how much I love this school. It is not the typical school. We are a very swift and amazing university that offers a wide variety of things. With five campuses as well as many student clubs and sports, we have so much to offer.

Outdoor activities are unlimited, toons of outdoor enthusiasts, bars and parties are off the wall

One of the biggest reasons i decide to go to wvu is because of the football program. For me football has a huge inpact on my life.

The football team is great. I think WVU is just right. Morgantown is very much a college town, I stay here year round and it is so much easier to drive through town in the summer and during breaks. The administration in my major is great. They are very helpful and can answer almost any question you have. There is so much school pride that it isn't even funny. The worst part about attending WVU is the lack of parking. There is no parking anywhere on campus. The only places you can park are paid garages, or paid lots. Most of the lots require a 200 to 300 dollar tag to put in your car.

I myself am not a party girl. I don't like to drink or go to bars or smoke pot. It wastes time and clouds very good judgment. The best thing I like about WVU is that it's big enough to get away from that scene. The library is great to studying but good luck getting a computer because there aren't enough for all the students in the building. I do love the Evansdale campus more than the downtown campus. It seems less chaotic and more surreal. There are more trees and greenery around. It's calm and quiet. Downtown is noisy and traffic is always bad. One reason why I'm an Animal Nutrition major. I go to the Evansdale campus more often. Overall WVU is a great place to go to school. You can meet the best of friends and the classes are awesome.

WVU is great. The faculty really care about you if you chose to get to know the faculty. There is truly nothing like the pride at West Virginia because it's the closest thing we have to a professional sports team. The state of West Virginia bleeds blue and gold as much as the students. The whole state is a Mountaineer. It's a perfect, laid back college town. Nightlife starts on Wednesday nights, and some weeks, Tuesdays. There was a recent shake up with the current administration, but if we can get our governor to keep his business out of the school, we will be fine. The biggest recent controversy involved rewarding an eMBA to the governor's daughter, a degree which she did not earn. The only problem with our school is that our governor thinks he's king of West Virginia and tries to get involved in everything, including the universities business. The next president should keep him separated from the university's business.

WVU is a huge school but it often feels small. Somehow you manage to run into the same people all over the place. To me, the fact that WVU is so large means there are a ton of opportunities. Morgantown is definitely a college town full of off-campus housing. There is a lot of school pride especially when it comes to football games! Football is a big deal in Mo-town.

wvu is a super-big university. with about 23000 students in a town built for about 10000. the college town feeling is definitely there -- especially on game day. game days rock. the atmosphere is that of a rock concert. get to milan puskar early for the best tailgating and the best booze you've ever had. wvu is credited for being the #1 drinking college . . . it definitely lives up to that name. wvu mountaineers are found all over the united states and the world. the school pride is like that of none other.

I'll answer all those questions. They're good ones. The best thing about WVU is that it is a small big school. By that I mean this is a very large school compared to most but when your are here you are never overwhelmed by size. It is very intimate and inviting. One thing I would change is being more educated about the college process. I am finishing up 8 credits and I graduate and I just now realized how I screwed up in my first few years. Dropping classes for no good reason. No one was here to tell me how that would affect me in the end. Now I have a major that I do not even like. I just never saw the big picture until now and I wish there was more guidence from teachers and advisors. That is where you miss out at a big school. When I tell people I go to WVU they usually say "wow, good for you" or "you have a really good football team." Either way, always positive and makes me feel good about my choice. WVU administration... it becomes more about money and who you know every year. The recent controversy was the govorners daughter receiving her MBA with out actually doing the work to earn it. She got it revoked when news spread. There is a lot of school pride but not enough. When you compare us to Penn State or OHIO, we are meke mouses. I think that is why we lost the biggest came of the year to Pitt (AHHHHHHH I HATE RICH ROD! @{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c}&*@#) still a sore subject as you see. I will always remember football games. they are the heart of this school and there is always so much fun and love in the air at them. Most frequent student complait... ADVISING SUCKS.
