Favorite Thing About WVU and Statler College

It's close to home, but far enough away to always meet new people. My favorite thing about Statler is the clubs!

Advice for Prospective Students

Join a club! Getting involved is so important, not only for your current experience, but for your resume down the line. Clubs are a great space to make lasting connections, gain new experiences, and build leadership skills. It doesn't have to be related to your major but find something to do in your free time. There are way too many student organizations out there, and if you're still looking for the one, why not show initiative and make your own? Balance is so important. College isn't just classes!
