West Virginia University Reviews

"Absolutely no support for international students or anyone. I am very disappointed with the leadership. Grad students are not their priority, though I’m not sure what their priorities are. I wish I had applied at schools that were willing to pay their TAs a livable wage!"

"WVU is hard to get used to your freshman year. There are 3 different "campuses" within the main campus. It is a very large school with a lot of diversity which is great! Your general education classes like intro. to bio/chem/english/etc are not very personal because of the volume of students that need in those classes. However, instructors always have office hours and a lot of them are very helpful during those hours if you need a more personal learning. Once you get into your major classes, the professors are awesome. Medical lab science is a very small major with about 25 students. It was very personal and all of the professors were so helpful and wanted you to succeed. I am going back to WVU for my graduate degree. It is an awesome experience.Read Less"

"The Bachelor's of Multidisciplinary studies degree that I earned at West Virginia University has proven to be a useful pre-requisite to my pursuit of a Master's program. My minors, which comprised this Bachelor's Degree, were English, Philosophy, and Religious Studies. As a student whose interests spanned a wide array of disciplines, I had a hard time narrowing down the degree to just these three. I appreciated the opportunity afforded me by this degree program to be introduced to multiple disciplines and to discerningly integrate that which I was taught concerning each discipline into my own understanding. I am now pursuing a Master's of Divinity degree at Mid-America Reformed Seminary in Dyer, Indiana. This degree demands an ability to deal with the multiple disciplines involving literary analysis, historical studies, religious studies, archaeology, linguistics, public speaking, teaching, and counseling. For those who have pursuing a life of learning, I can readily say that the Bachelor's of Multidisciplinary studies degree I earned has proven to be a good start.Read Less"

"WVU is a very special place. You're going to get out what you put in. I studied business, and I received a good education from all of my professors. As far as the cost went, it was unbeatable. Their out of state tuition alone was about half of what my in state tuition was going to cost me. I think the biggest thing that I took away from WVU was the people that I met, and the network I built. It's because of me going to WVU that I am now able to pursue the master's degree that I am. Country Roads will always take me home.Read Less"

"West Virginia University offers an excellent Masters program in Special Education. The online degree program reaches students of diverse ages in all 50 states and internationally. Quality professors have created a rigorous and challenging course of study. The program requires students to think critically and interact collaboratively. As a full-time teacher in graduate school, I personally have found the advising staff to be very supportive and the professors top-rate. The program draws students who have challenged me to rise to the next level of excellence in my teaching. WVU integrates technology so that lectures are live and students collaborate in class in small groups, and we also discuss articles outside of class using online discussion boards. Field experiences allow students to observe local classrooms and synthesize information learned in class with best practices. I highly recommend WVU for graduate level learning.Read Less"

"West Virginia University's Integrated Marketing Communications online program provided a fantastic graduate experience because your advisors and professors dedicate themselves to setting you up for success. Before this program, I had never taken an online class before so learning how to navigate an entirely online program was daunting. My advisor walked me through the whole program and online learning environment which calmed my nerves and set me up for success. Once the classes begin, my professors were thorough in explaining the subject matter and answering any questions. I have never walked away from a class feeling like I didn't get enough from my experience. Since marketing is an ever-changing industry, it is essential that a graduate program dealing with marketing reflects the current industry. This program does exactly that by exploring how automation and A.I. impact marketing and what the future of marketing. Also, my program offers an alternative to an MBA by allowing IMC students to enroll in a management concentration. I cannot speak highly enough of my program!Read Less"

"This college have a very good research in all the fields."

"Its a very welcoming and safe university, with a good research facilities and also focuses on the students mind and health well good"

"West Virginia University is my home. I honestly cannot imagine attending another university. The campus is unique, historical, and beautiful. There's always something to do and something going on. The people are down to Earth and everyone you meet is striving to learn. The seasons in Morgantown are distinct, which keeps the entire school year interesting and refreshing. The classrooms sizes get smaller each year and the professors always have scheduled times to help you learn individually if you need it.Read Less"

"I absolutely love West Virginia University. It is a great school with many different programs to choose from. The degree that I chose was a great platform of learning for me to start from in my academic career. Currently, I am working towards a graduate degree and will be finishing in May!"

"Enjoyable university with plenty to do in the area."

"Wonderful business program, great mentors, great opportunities"

"Safe town. Low tuition. Friendly environment."

"WVU is an A+ school for B+ students. The atmosphere is friendly and inviting, the professors are intelligent and helpful, and the fun only stops when you want it to. If I could do it all over again there is no doubt in my mind that I would pick WVU."

"West Virginia University is, for sure, the best public university in the state. From the helpful advisers, professors, and staff to the abundance of student jobs to the variety of class times and locations, WVU has everything a student could want. I recommend this university to anyone who wants to live, learn, and work in a wonderful community with like-minded people."

"I had some amazing professors. They were always available to me when I had questions. I enjoyed the classes themselves because they provooked thought and required you really take a step back and contemplate and compile your thoughts. The professors require you do really engage in the class even though it is a distance learning program. I would highly recommend this online program to anyone that is considering a Master's degree in School Health."

"My university was an amazing experience, and I have no regrets about choosing to go there. It came down to a decision between WVU and a small private college, and I felt more drawn to the large state flagship university experience. Going to WVU gave me countless avenues or paths I could choose to follow, and options are something everyone should want when it comes to their time in college. Through WVU I was able to study abroad twice, once in Istanbul, Turkey and once in Morocco. WVU provided me with the support and tools I needed to apply to scholarships and grants in order to undertake these opportunities. I was able to obtain approval to become a federal work study, and worked in a dormitory on campus and spent most of my time at this job signing students in and studying which allowed my grades to get where I wanted them to be. My professors always encouraged us as students to visit them during office hours and participate in class discussions and give our opinion. I graduated last year, and they informed all the seniors that they would still be a resource for advice post graduation, and told us to keep in touch on what we do next. I had a great advisor who listened to the types of subjects I was interested in, and tried to schedule me in the best classes she could with the best teachers, and had life conversations with me besides. I have been in a full time federal volunteer program since graduation, and the positive undergraduate experience I had makes me look forward to the day I apply to a graduate school program and get to experience the possibilities of being a student again.Read Less"

"West Virginia University has an amazing pharmacy program. It's set up as a 2 + 4 program. My class was the first to experience the new curriculum they have established in order to better the program, and though it's been a learning experience as a guinea pig for the new curriculum, it has truly been rewarding. The professors and advisors are amazing and always willing to help."
