West Virginia University — Attraction in Morgantown

I have very mixed feeling about wvu. The environment is beautiful and very peaceful if you find a good place off campus. High street has some of the best restaurants and stores (BLACK BEAR IS THE BEST!) This school is great for the average white male or female who likes to party with friends and have parents to pay all there expenses, but if you're not a person who parties alot (ME) then wvu might not be for you. I was pressure constantly to go out and party and when I didn't I felt like a loser or something. The university is 86 percent white. Other races usually form their own groups within themselves, which I hate! When I hung out with white people, black people gave me the 'side-eye.' There were many of my classes where I would be the only black female present. I'm not saying that this interfered with how I learned but if a professor played the color purple or talked about slaves during lecture, lets just say I did not feel comfortable. Andd theres a motel a few block away from campus called PLANTATION INN..Im not saying this has anything to do with black people, but comeee onnnnn! I just didn't fit in. I would live or work in morgantown because of how beautiful it is, but NOT go to school here. I met a few great people here and a lot of not so great people, but I'll forever be grateful for those friendships, and I'm currently looking towards transferring from wvu. It's been a bittersweet ride,...

Did the campus tour yesterday. Beautiful campus, even in the middle of winter. The 2 student guides were energetic and engaging. Its top of the list for my son. I have to add..reading some of the other reviews is misleading. My thought was that these comments were meant to reflect the physical , visual aspects of the campus, not be a sounding board for disgruntled students who failed biology , or needed a more diverse student body. If you failed a class, your fault. If you wanted a more diverse student body, you shouldn't have matriculated there in the first place. And stop with the nonsensical comments about everyone walking around drunk all the time. ALL colleges have parties. If you wanted silence, chastity and prayer you should have gone to a convent. I have been around countless graduates of this institution who have high level federal engineering jobs,and a few who are physicians. The college experience is what you make of it. It's not someone else's fault....

They have good degrees but learned the hard way with the cost of universities. 14 credits = 5k per semester if you do not live on on campus (in state). Federal aid gives me 3.7k which is not enough so I gotta take a bank loan. They charge 900 dollars combined by just walking on the university. You are required medical insurance if you have over 3 credits. They gave me a month notice and it was too late for me to get my own so I had to buy there insurance which was around 1k (although it is the cheapest around the U.S)A late fee is 200 dollars if you miss your payment date. If you use there monthly billing service, it’s 35 dollars to use it and an extra 8 dollars a month fee to pay monthly. Love this campus, but it’s only good if you got the...
