I thought that I would love it at WVU but I was way wrong. The campus is one of the ugliest in history. There are soooo many steps to climb everytime you get off the PRT (I'll get to this later) and there are hills every which way you turn. Seeing that I am from Delaware, this was a huge adjustment for me because Delaware is basically a flatland. There are trash cans that are full to capicity with trash coming out of them. The students are pretty friendly but a lot of them…no wait…most of them love to get drunk and high every single night. I knew that this place was a party school but I in no way imagined that it would be this bad. The PRT…what to say about this stupid thing. Basically, it's supposed to be like a type of monorail thingy except it doesn't work worth a damn. It is always running late and if you are the only one standing in line for it, the door WILL NOT open until more people show up. I have been late to classes and appointments countless number of times because of this stupid thing. Another reason why I chose to come to this school was because of its athletic program. Except one thing: it is impossible to get tickets to any of the football games. I tried to join the Mountaineer Maniacs, but it was too late. This was the 2nd week of classes. After this semester I plan on transfering to the University of Delaware. There is absolutly no way that I can stay here any longer. I am not lying when I write this stuff either, it is all the truth. So basically my advice to incoming students, DO NOT COME HERE! This school sucks.
