West Virginia University Top Questions

What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?

Stephanie

I wish I would have learned a little more about programs to get involved with involving my major. I also wish there were more ways to express your religion in a 'safe' enviorment meaning more places to practice wider varities of religion.

Cody

That it is a big school and that it is located in a small area.

Emily

I just wish that I would have done better on ACt and SAT's so I could have gotten promise.

Kayla

More information from the Advisors. They aren't much help and force me to research and investigate on my own.

Shanna

Before I came to this school I wish I had known not too focus too much on the academics and balance my life between my social life and academic life. The work was not a huge transistion since I had taken numerous honor classes in high school, so my freshman year was pretty simple. Knowing to be friendly to everyone instead of closed off would have been a huge plus too.

Garrick

I wish I knew the transportation situation before coming to this school. I live outside of Morgantown, but the school does not support commuters that live outside of town. Morgantown has a transportation network with buses and a PRT. However, only one bus goes outside of Morgantown and its hours are inconvenient. Getting my drivers license is a struggle I have endured for nearly two years, because the state's instructional permit only lasts three months and it's hard to find the time to practice driving. I wish I got my license before moving to West Virginia.

Amy

That you had to be in a sorority/fraternity, or work at a bar/club to be the most popular.

Chelsi

I wish I would have known what I wanted to major in and all the majors that were offered.

Alyssa

I wish I knew how bad traffic got in town and how hard it is to travel on buses. I wish I knew that there would be professors that don't speak English very well. I wish I knew how many people actually went to the bars and that besides drinking that there would be other things to do at night.

Aileen

Nothing... Knew all of the bad and the good about the school
