The WVU Experience

I chose WVU because of the vast opportunities this University has. Whether you want to join a club, play on an intramural team, be a co-author on a research project or go to a football game, there's an opportunity for everyone. The WVU legacy doesn’t end after four years, because I know WVU opened endless doors for me and will always be a part of who I am.
