West Virginia State University

West Virginia State University is a wonderful college. It was one of the first colleges I applied to, the process was quick and easy. Those who work in the office are kind and generous and will help in any way they can. Overall, the students and staff are great and so is the community.

I really enjoy it, and Im very satisfied with how helpful everyone is! My emails are always answered in a timely manner. Teachers, every single one I have had, to above and beyond to help students, and I feel my education is important to everyone there.

I am happy with state. The campus is great. My professors are very dedicated to my learning. I play a sport and my coach is also very attentive and concerned with my education and overall well-being. The cafeteria food is not great, and there is not good access to stores and restaurants near campus.

It's a good school with a lot of history and a fun place to be! Overall I have to say the teachers are nice, staff is helpful and the campus is beautiful. Everyone is encouraged to partake in college activities. Sometimes I will just sit on campus because with all the trees it is very peaceful.

Great University. I love it because it’s not huge, it’s small and welcoming, and if you need something from a specific teacher you’ll get it because they aren’t overwhelmed with a crazy amount of students. Only thing that could be better is the staff that works in the registrars office, they are quite rude most of the time.

West Virginia State University, in my opinion, is an amazing college. Everyone that I have met has been pleasant and my classes are very involved. The faculty is helpful, understand, and almost always available if not through their office, by email. I really enjoy going and am surprised by the affordability considering it is such a great university.

It's a growing university. But there's not a lot of different people here. It's mostly the same groups and types of people. The university needs better events and less stringent rules.

A great place to learn surrounded by excellent environment and opportunities

I would advise myself to look at all of my options and not just schools around home. I would look at a diversity of schools and see beyond just the academics but the teacher support, peers, and community standing.

School support, student backing for events, not very community wide.

Someone who wants a big college experience with parties or likes to be around a lot of people and big classes.

My advice to myself would be to not wait so long to try again like I did and its ok to have bumps in the road not everything you hope to happen will happen, but that doesn't mean you give up. Just because the circumstances have called for a detour don’t mean you should give up on your dream to go to college. Because If you really want it as bad as you say you do fight and don’t stop fighting until you get where your trying to go. The older you get trying to get into college might be easy but the actual getting there processes is overwhelming when you have to go at it alone because your no longer a teen with parents to help you like when you were in high school. Things will be expected of you from financial aid to housing its best to go at it while you’re still young because now it seems almost everything is more difficult being 23 trying to pay for school with no financial support system behind you and just worrying if your even going to make it .
