West Virginia University Top Questions

Before I came to this school, I wish I knew how hard it would be to be so far away from my parents. I also wish I knew that the hills you have to walk to get to classes are extremely tiring if you are out of shape.

How terrible the parking situation is on campus.

I wish I had known about their Music Education program from the very beginning. I attended community college to save money, but transfering in as a Junior was very difficult. Not all of my credits were accepted and I was told that I would have to add extra two years to receive my undergraduate degree. I wish I had attended WVU from the very beginning. I'm sad that I will only be spending two of my four college years here. It has been a wonderful life changing experience.

I wish I had known that the weather would have been as it has been these last copuple of weeks. Coming from a much more southern climate, it has been a bit of a shock to the system.

There are only a few thingsd that I wish I knew before coming to WVU this fall. The first is that everything on this campus is on a hill, and no matter where you go you'll be walking up a hill or stairs. The second is to apply for scholarships earlier. Because I am paying for a large part of college myself, money is definitely an issue so I would advise anyone to start applying early.

I wish I would have known about the different dorms, a better explanation online or a visual to see the location.

I wish that I had known more about the transportation options here and understood better the layout of the campus.

I wish i know more about the weather and how cold it got and the fact that it rains so much in Morgantown. School-wise, i feel like i was prepared well, maybe it would be good to know the importance of going to class on the time.

I wish I knew which textbooks I wouldn't need. Some teachers had us order textbooks that we never used, and it's almost impossible to get back all the money you spend on them. It also would have been nice to know which teachers are best, especially in classes with multiple sections and teachers available. I wish someone had told me to set money aside for textbooks and incindental expenses; I spent money on lots of frivilous stuff in high school, and I could really use some extra cash now.

History class isn't easy.
