I consider the best thing about West Virginia University is the social life. I have heard from many of my peers they chose this school over a better academic college, because of the social life that's possible here. The atmosphere on weekends and especially during football games is everything I imagined when I was younger . The academics at this school is not as rigorous, but it still challenges me enough to study nightly. Just because the social life is so big does not mean that you can party away the week and expect to get good grades.

The school spirit here is amazing! No matter race, religion, or background, everyone in this university town comes together around sporting events. It's easy to feel like you're a part of something at WVU.

I think the best part about my school is the location. It is located in a college-town, it is easy to get around, and the campus is basically the entire neighborhood. No matter where you go, WVU is the main focus. It is easy to meet people and figure out how go get around. THe people are friendly and there is always something to do. Also, there are plenty of places to keep to yourself and study if need be. I love it! I am so lucky to have found my perfect school!

There is a sense of welcome and belonging here. When you go here, it's like being part of a family. We are all united by the old gold and blue.

The school has a lot of trips and activities for people who like the outdoors. There are backpacking trips to south america every year over the winter break and it looks like so much fun. I am going on a backpacking trip over the spring break to Utah and I am so excited for it. If it wasn't for this school trip I wouldn't have a way of going on this trip. There are also other trips for people with all different interests!

The over all feeling on game day. People LOVE mountianeer football. I know of many alumni who have season tickets and have barely missed a game since they graduated.
