Going to WVU has proven, thus far, to be the best decision of my life. As an out-of-state student, I received an excellent education at this school at the same price that it would have cost me to attend a number of schools in-state in Ohio. Sure, students in Morgantown like to—and know how to—have a good time. But the ones that do nothing but party fail out. To go and succeed at WVU a student must quickly learn time management skills because the oppurtunity to have fun is always around. Staff are awesome, and most are easily approachable and willing to help. There is a real sense of community at WVU, especially with fellow students. All students—for the most part—would help out another Mountaineer in any way they could. Even with such a large student body, it does feel like family. Club sports are huge at the university with tons of different teams to choose from. Get involved! I loved my time spent at WVU and Morgantown will always have special place in my heart! Let's Gooo Mountaineers!

Oh, and for people saying the campus is "ugly" because they have o climb stairs—ridiculous. Yes, the school is hilly, but what did you expect going to the flagship school of "The Mountain State". Morgantown is beautiful as are its surrounding areas! Take advantage of all the state has to offer while there—it truly is Wild and Wonderful!
