[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Someone mention easy to get in, but hard to get out in a previous thread.  Why so?

We're in MD and DS who is a jr (AA btw) seems interested in checking the school out, especially since they have a wide range of engineering program.

Anyone have first hand experience or have a child that's there?  How's the job prospect after graduating?

Thanks![/quote]

I went there 20 years ago.  I really liked it.  They don't coddle students there and there's not a ton of support; kids have to have their act together.  The party scene can be intense, which coupled with less than strenuous admission standards leads to a lot of kids flunking out.  The engineering program is very good, but a notch down from the surrounding state schools. I can't say about the employment situation right out; I went to a very good graduate program right after, so I never had to rely on my WVU degree alone. My gut feel though is that for most in-demand degrees kids won't have any issues getting jobs.

Like most big state schools you get back what you put into it.  Good luck![/quote]
