I'm interested in attending West Virginia University and I'm curious about its location. What town or city is it in, and what can students do for fun around there? Any info would be appreciated!
West Virginia University is located in Morgantown, West Virginia, which is near the Pennsylvania border and about 75 miles south of Pittsburgh. Morgantown is known for its picturesque hills and river views - it's nestled in the Appalachian region so it's a great environment for outdoor activities.
Around town, there's quite a bit to do! Many students love to visit the downtown area, which is dotted with local restaurants, cafe, and shops. For outdoor enthusiasts, the area offers activities like hiking and biking, kayaking down the Monongahela River, and exploring Cooper's Rock State Forest.
WVU also has an active campus life with plenty of student clubs, Greek life, and sporting events (especially their Division I football games), so there's certainly a lot of school spirit. If you love a university that's connected with its town and has a great balance between academic life and recreation, WVU could be a great fit.
