[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Google: West Virginia University financial issues. Lots of cuts re: faculty, staff, & majors in favor of enhanced athletic facilities & better dorms. Some majors need to be cut due to lack of enrollment.

Articles about the WVU financial issues are easily found online from AP, NY Times, And WSJ.

Lots & lots & lots of drinking & drugs. Lots of idiots who, fortunately, fail out during their first year & a half, [b]but they hold back classes and other students.[/b]

Nevertheless, there are career opportunities. KPMG advisory/consulting has named WVU as a target school for recruiting.[/quote]

WTF?! How would someone failing out and partying hold back other classes and students?

I went to WVU. I had friends at UVA, VT, JMU, ODU, UMD, Georgetown, etc., and visited all those colleges to see my friends. I partied just as much during my visits at those schools as I did at WVU.

Also, if you're failing after the first semester at WVU (under 2.0 gpa), you get put on academic probation. You have to set up a contract with your advisor about what you will do to get off probation. If you fail to do this and earn under 2.0 again the following semester, you have to enter into another contract and usually have a meeting with the dean of your college. If you do not keep a GPA above 2.0 for 3 semesters total (not consecutive), you are given academic suspension which lasts 1 year. You can either serve the 1 year suspension or take courses during summer or winter break to raise your GPA. If you fail to raise your GPA in those courses, you must serve the 1 year suspension.
