| Bright | WV Tech gave me the tools to succeed and advance my career as a software engineer. I feel that WV Tech definitely prepared me for the professional engineering jobs I acquired after graduating. I recommend college students to visit and talk to other students in the field they are interested in. That way they are prepared and know what to expect and what the professors expect out of their students. No Surprises. Tech has some of the best professors and if you are willing to put in the hard work and dedication you can learn a lot and become a true professional in your field.

I attended Tech for almost 4 years, and I still can't decide if I love or hate it. The administration needs a complete overhaul, and the financial aid office doesn't know how to do their job--work with WVU's office if you can (Tech's so-called "loan guru" doesn't know much information about loans, other than there's some brochures lying around her office). However, I loved my department, and the people there would do anything they could to help me.
The social life at Tech could be a lot better. However, most students still live at home, and most commute from considerable distances. Those living in the dorms often go home on weekends. The student organizations DO try to hold events, it's just the student body is overall apathetic. Most students join their major's organization. I do recommend joining an organization other than your major's, that's one of the few ways to meet other people on campus.
There is Greek Life, it's really small. There are two sororities (one local, one national), and 4 fraternities (3 national, 1 local.). I do recommend looking into them, because many of the brothers/sisters have very close relationships and many keep in touch well beyond graduation. Most of my classmates from my major are in good jobs that pay very well. Tech may not be the best place to be at, but it's a great place to be from. | Education Quality: A+, Individual Value: F |  | | |

| Not so bright | This school sucks. Just drive by the coal mines on the nasty roads and take a turn into Montgomery. You will find a town as rundown as Tech's campus. They are a great match with their trashy, rundown and outdated buildings. But who knows, you may like being taught 50s technology. | Scholastic Success: A, Education Quality: F |  | | |
