The academics are decent but more and more classes are being taught my teaching assistants instead of faculty. Morgantown, itself, is a complete total dump. If you aren't drinking you're not doing anything. Social Life: A-, Individual Value: F Have a Question? Your Response/Question:     To be informed when someone replies to your comment.

I have dreamed about going to WVU for as long as I have remembered. I have been here for a year and it is not cracked up to what I had previously imagined. 1. Weather/Climate- Great and comfortable in the summer/fall. Cold, Rainy, Snowy, and extremely windy in the winter. Almost unbearable. 2. Nightlife- Beer drinking heaven! I'm not much into the whole bar scene because I am not 21 but there is parties every night of the week. 3. Faculty- Ok. Not the best. Will not make an effort to know you unless you step up to the plate and are willing to meet them and show you are extemely interested in succeeding in the course. I wouldn't doubt them though, as the majority of the students don't even bother attending class sessions. 4. Transportation- Non-existant. It's better to not even bring a vehicle to Morgantown unless you have your own apartment/house. There is ABSOLUTELY NO parking whatsoever and small streets cause major traffic jams (ex: Beechurst, Mileground, University Ave.). PRT-Personal Rapid Transport (a monorail type vehicle device that is used as transportation between the Evansdale and Downtown campuses)- extremely slow, often breaks down. Culture- New Jersey Guido Central! I'm from the South and am usually open-minded for diversity but it seems like students from New Jersey/Philadelphia/Pittsburgh flock here in numbers! Sideways hats with the stickers still on them, big bug-looking sunglasses, suped-up drag racing cars that their daddys bought for them, marijuana, canoli-eating, giant ego, assholes who are impatient and can't drive reasonably. Rudeness. No hospitality or friendliness at all. Food- Awful. Towers is decent. Boreman Hall's menu is set for healthiness but disgusting. Stalnaker is small and crowded. Arnold is just greasy.

Neither will we allow our children to attend there. There is a huge disconnect between the powers-that-be, whether it's in Financial Aid or Advising or [insert department here] and your average incoming freshman. Of course things cannot be handed to students on a silver platter! But many incoming freshman are 18-years-old and have never been away from home and are relatively clueless about the future and their opportunities in college or even about how much money they're borrowing -- and if they are the first generation in their families to attend college, it's a double-whammy. I am now enrolled in a local community college in order to do something completely unrelated to my field and it's astounding the difference in the level of personal attention, direction and advice I've received by my advisor, etc., at a fraction of the cost of attending WVU. I wish I'd known some of this 25 years ago. Starting Job: Administrative Assistant, Preparedness: F, Reputation: F Have a Question?
