West Virginia University Top Questions

WVU is definitely thought to be the "party school." It does live up to the hype in some cases. I have many friends that are business, political science, and education majors that party Thursday-Sunday every weekend. However, I'm an engineering major. I find plenty to do without partying. Not many engineering, math, or physics majors go out more than one or twice a month. The school is really good about offering options for those who don't want to be a part of the party scene. One such example is "Up All Night". This program takes place in the Mountainlair Thursday-Saturday nights. The school feeds you for free (nachos, hamburgers, hot dogs, etc. and then breakfast after midnight), shows at least three movies getting ready to go to DVD in the "Gluck Theater", offers "AstroBowling", and one other extremely fun activity (some examples are make your own flip-flops, laser tag, and gaming tournaments).
