Favorite Thing About WVU and Statler College

My favorite thing about WVU is the emphasis on earning real-world experience. You are expected to work hard and to find your opportunities but if you put in the effort, it will pay off. I was drawn to this school because of its reputation for building students who succeed in top tier positions.

Advice for Prospective Students

Your classes are going to be difficult but don't let that get to you. Find a good routine that gives you enough time to do you work but also to relax. It's not always beneficial to pull long hours of studying, so take a break every once and a while! Show that you care about what you're doing, and you'll be okay.
