Some may say that West Virginia University is known as one of the best party schools in the nation-- I think that WVU is more than that. I transfered to WVU as a Junior (after receiving an Associate's Degree from my local community college) and have been welcomed to a school with spirit, enthusiasm, a drive for education and a sense of community. WVU's football games are always filled with blue and gold, and it doesn't matter where you came from or why you're there-- all that matter's is that you're a Mountaineer.

I would have to say that the athletic pursuits of the university are our greatest achievements, however, the high amount of job placement, to me, is the most impirtant thing and West Virginia boasts an unusally large job placement rate.

We are knowing as a large party school but its academics are overlooked. We have alot of the top schools for many majors in the country. Such as our engineering and Forensic programs. once you get on campus you realize that not everyone on campus cares about partying an is in fact more intrested in the school spirt and that everyone is treated the same.

Unfortunately, one of the things that West Virginia University is best know for is partying, however, I feel that there are many other things that the school could easily be known for, such as great athletics or academics, if they would simply put the time, effort, and money into cracking down on the underage drinking problem.

This school is best known for the Ruby Memorial Hospital and the West Virginia Mountaineers football team. Its also got a really great criminal justice program.

West Virginia University is probably best known for its athletic departments. Especially its football and baskeball departments. They are very strong parts of this university and the students and fans of this school are very strongly supporters.

My School has a tremdence amount of school spirit. Also, for a quality education I am receiving. The campus is large and spread out, but it has someting for everyone.

Sports, and a few programs we have that are rarely offered in other schools. (Biometrics and forensic sciences, for example.)
Angelica
The football team, the drinking, the engierneering, and forensic's

I believe that my school, West Virginia University, is best known for school pride and the hyped fans at all of our sporting events. Football and basketball are over-the-top sporting events for the students, and we have been known to cheer to the last second!
