Cool campus in a college town. The transportation is very good.
Some highly regarded majors.
It’s a state school, it attracts every type of kid. There is plenty of wealth there but it is not a school dominated by wealthy kids.
Good school spirit, Greek life. Also attracts kids who are into the outdoors and lots of clubs facilitate activities outside and cheaply.
People seem to love their time in Morgantown and the alumni are nice and connected.

In most cases, a poor student who likes to party. It is a non-intellectual environment. An intelligent, hard-working student should be able to find a much better school. Environment matters.
Are you saying the student body is poor generally speaking?
Sorry, I should have been more clear that I was referring to the students' academic performance, not to their lack of wealth.

Do you have a student at WVU?

Huge party school, lots of drinking. If you are decently smart, you'll be the top of the food chain and will be able to get great research opportunities.

Is the student body lower/middle class?
Conservative or liberal?
What's the drug usage like ? (I fully understand there is drug usage in most colleges)
Does it lean crunchy or would a lululemon preppy girl fit in?

We visited and liked it a lot more than we thought we would. Seemed like a place where nice, fun, outdoorsy kids could be very happy. And kids who aim high (Honors program, etc.) can get a very good education.

I think a lot of kids that don’t get into Tech or UMD but want an affordable big school option land there.

Its sort of similar to VA Tech but without the engineering kids.

It’s pretty decent.
Hilly though. You’ll get a workout just walking back and forth to classes
