The school spirit because it makes everyone welcomed

The roads in Morgantown are horrible.

the friendly atmosphere

I think the worst thing at WVU has to be the lack of communication between students and academic advisors. When trying to get signed into a class, there were entirely too many hoops to jump through, and it seems like they are very disconnected with students' goals for graduation.

The school, as well as the state, is perceived negatively throughout the county. These pereceptions, however, are not true, but do tend to send out a negative vibe to people who have not experienced the atmosphere themselves.

Some teachers are slow on grading tests and transportation to classes can be poor in the winter.

Traffic...

The only bad thing I would have to say about my school is something that would probably apply to almost any school one could attend. I transfered from another school, and it has been somewhat difficult to make friends and become involved in social organizations. I have discussed this with another student who transfered from a different university, and she felt the same way. Fortunately, however, it is not impossible, and I have been fortunate enough to make friends though my classes, joint interests in the community, and even volunteering in organizations that are not affiliated with the university.

I consider the organization of the faculty and administration to be the worst part. Getting help with advising and planning your major gives you a run-around sometimes. No one ever knows where you need to go to get things done. Also many of the professors are of different nationalities and it is difficult to understand them.
