West Virginia University Top Questions

Keep an agenda.

I honeslty do not have anything that is bad for me at West Virginia University.

Not applicable

The worst thing about my school is that running parallel to the many options and opportunities available here, you the student are merely a number in your first year or two at the university. It is such a large university that your entrance classes reach 200 people. As you eliminate your initial classes to head in to a major, your class size average drops greatly and a more personal relationship with a professor is achieved.

The worst thing possibly about West Virginia University may just be the spread out campus. But there is enough transportation to get to anywhere you need to go! Oh and definitely the roads, potholes everywhere!

The worst thing about my school would be the excessive partying. No matter if it is a school night or a weekend, there is continuously students everywhere yelling and drinking. I personally think it takes away from the great experience because it influences every student to try it. There are so many other activities you can involve yourself in, and I don't think drinking is the smartest choice to do out of all of the options available here.

I think the worst thing about my school is the repuation as the number one party school. People look down on the university because of this, even though it has some of the top acedemic departments in the country. We are seen as crazy holigans who are completely irresponsible towards their education which is not the case at all.

Winters in Morgantown are a clusterfuck. Morgantown has the skinniest roads situated on windy, steep mountains. The city does not do a sufficient job plowing the roads and driving up the mountain roads becomes almost impossible. It doesnt help that the university almost never shuts down campus due to bad weather. Accidents are constant, especially on days when the campus is not closed. Not to mention, the volcanic sized pot holes make driving a pain and the traffic is always jammed.

Getting from place to place. The transportation provided by the school is not always reliable.

For out of state, it is pricey.

There's nothing truely bad about my school. Although big, the faculty is avaiable whenever you need someone. And the services and opportunities provided are more than enough. If I had to change one thing though, it would be the sterotypes and reputation. I love telling people that I go to West Virginia University. However, the explanation that most people want for why I chose it gets a little old after a while. Not everyone can see its beauty as easilly as me.

Like most college campuses, the worst thing about West Virginia University is the contuous amount of partying because the students who are attending WVU to get a college degree and advance their education suffer from the constant noise, distractions, and careless mess from the students who party.

I'd say the worst thing about my school would have to be the constant partying. I think WVU is one of the top 5 party schools in the US. Of course, most students wouldn't complain about this. However, I've never been a partier and my freshman year I staid in a dorm and the kids stumbling around drunk in the middle of the night was annoying.

I would say the parking situation is the worst part. Also, the winter seems to last forever.

The worst thing about WVU is that there are different campuses. I don't like riding the PRT or buses when I need to go to the other campus for classes.

there are 2 campuses in morgantown and they are not very easy to commute too. public transportation could be improved at wvu.

The worst thing about my school would be its distance from my home. I don't get to go back home as much as I want because I'm twelve hour away from Wisconsin.

Due to the size of West Virginia University getting to class isn't the quickest thing. Depedning on where your class is located you may have to take the personal rapid transit, meaning in order to get to class on time you must leave at least thrity minutes ahead of time. This leaves you to feel as though your class is an hour longer than it actually is after the transportaion of there and back.

Its really big, but I'm not sure about anything else because I will be attending in the fall.

If I had to pick a bad thing about my school it would be the large lecture hall classes. As a freshman taking 100-level classes it is difficult to find a class, other than in things like English, that has fewer than 200 people. Having these large classes was defnitely an adjustment for me and it was an entirely different learning enviornment. The size of these classrooms would be the main flaw with my otherwise exceptional school.
