West Virginia University

Major: Engineering Department (This Major's Salary over time)
I chose to attend West Virginia over UGA,Georgia Tech, University of Florida, and LSU. To me, it was the only school I had found that was a perfect mix of a fun state school as well as a reputable engineering school. Yes,being an out of state student, I will admit the first week was a bit unsettling, but what I love most about Morgantown is the school spirit. I made friends fast, and I always have fun. Yes, it is a party school. Yes, there are some people here who I look at and wonder how they even managed to graduate high school. But I love it. I am never bored here. The professors are more then willing to meet with you, and it is ideal for someone like me because after class, I can go back to my dorm, study for a few hours, and then go out at night. What it comes down to is the fact that if you want to get drunk every night, you can, and there will be plenty of people right there with you. Or you can stay in the study room all night, get work done, and find a group of friends to join you. Or you can be like me, and work your butt of Monday-Thursday, have an incredible weekend, then wake up Sunday and do it all again. All in all, I can't imagine myself being anything but a Mountaineer, and I am so glad I came here.
