Why should a student in your area consider WVU over other local options?

WVU is a great choice for international students because of how welcoming the community is. You get the advantages of a big university and a small town. Whether you like sports, exploring the outdoors, or the arts, there is something for everyone here!

What makes WVU such a great value?

WVU offers so many majors that can help kickstart your career. There are also great research opportunities and plenty of ways to get involved to start growing your network. WVU offers so many great professional and personal resources to make the most of your journey.

What are some things you would share with a student that they probably wouldn’t know about WVU?

Morgantown is one of the most unique and beautiful college towns anywhere in the world. It is surrounded by mountains, a river, and beautiful scenery, no matter which part of campus you’re on. It offers small town charm and the PRT, which is a really unique way to get around town. No other campus in America (or the world) has anything like it!

What advice do you give to students who are preparing for college?

Keep an open mind and be open to new experiences. It’s important to talk to people who are different than you and get outside your bubble.

What else would you like for us to know?

The Office of Global Affairs takes great care of our international students from the time they are admitted until they graduate. If you’re a foodie, Morgantown has so many great restaurants to check out. You’ll never run out of places to eat!
