Even though all schools are unique, I feel my school, West Virginia University, is cut above the rest. Sure most large Universities offer transportation systems such as buses, but how many of them offer PRTs, a system of self-driven vehicles? Speaking of large Universities, how many of them are nestled in the beautiful Appalachian Mountains? Only at WVU can you attend an outrageous football game, complete with a four hundred member marching band and signature ?Let?s Go Mountaineers? cheer, visit nationally recognized historic buildings, and end the day with rock climbing in the world class recreation center.

West Virginia is a large school but once on campus it doesnt feel as big as it is. Everyone is willing to help you out if you are lost or have a question. everyone is very friendly and school spirited. As large as he school is school spirt and connectiveness is a huge part of the atmosphere here.

people are SOOO passionate here! whether theyre liberal or conservative, eco friendly or coal miners. they're dedicated to their own cause, and their own committments and values- while at the same time, being excited for others' passions

WVU has extremely good programs when it comes to animals, forensics, and law. Their staff is always ready to help you with any problem you need; all you have to do is email or set up an appointment and they will help you to the best of their ability. I liked how the campus was laid out also. It's not all cramped together but its not miles apart either.

WVU has a great atmosphere. There is always something going on no matter what your interest. Students are very friendly, and it is not hard meeting new people. I feel that not all universities have that feeling of open welcome, and I find that it is very important to be in an environment where you feel that you belong and have people around you who have the same general goals and interest.

I think my school has a lot of school spirit. Football games are huge here, and a lot of students get together for sporting events on a regular basis.

West Virginia University is a large school in a small state with a rather large diversity of people from all over the world that allows you to see different cultures first hand. Along with this, they have a very good study abroad program and are partnered with many other schools to allow an affordable experience at schools in most of those countries.

The school is so spread out but yet has a great sense of unity and mountaineer spirit! The scenery around the campus is gorgeous and in the fall the campus comes alive in color. It seems like there is something for everyone here and I wouldn't want to attend school anywhere else!

This school was my first choice because I loved the atmosphere. There is nothing like going to a football game and seeing all the comraderie between fans. The nightlife is one of a kind, too. What other place has 7 different clubs playing "Country Roads" when the clock strikes 12, and everyone in the bar stops to sing? Everyone that goes to WVU is proud to be a Mountaineer.

My school is unique because eventhough it is a large school, it is possible to still feel like a small community. When you go places, amazingly you will know people from class, lab groups, from the library , who work places you go or you have met at social events. People in West Virginia are extremely friendly and fun- loving.
