Favorite Thing About WVU and Statler College
One of the best things about West Virginia University is the sense of community. There’s just something about WVU where people genuinely look out for each other—it feels like a big family, whether you’re on campus, at a game, or even running into other Mountaineers somewhere random.
Another favorite is the school spirit. Game days in Morgantown are unreal, especially when everyone’s cheering on the West Virginia Mountaineers. The energy, traditions, and pride people have for WVU make it such a fun and memorable experience.
And of course, the location itself is a huge plus. Morgantown has that perfect mix of college town vibes and beautiful scenery—rolling hills, outdoor activities, and places like Coopers Rock State Forest nearby make it easy to take a break and enjoy nature.
Another standout is the sense of community. Compared to bigger engineering schools, Statler feels more personal. Professors are approachable, classes are collaborative, and it’s easy to get involved—whether that’s research, student orgs, or events like networking nights and career fairs.
And honestly, the opportunities are strong too. Between internships, co-ops, and connections with industry (especially in areas like civil, mechanical, and petroleum engineering), students get a solid start on their careers before they even graduate.
Advice for Prospective Students
At WVU Statler College of Engineering and Mineral Resources, don’t just ask questions when you’re stuck—ask them to go deeper. The most successful students are the ones who are curious and want to truly understand why things work, not just how to get the right answer. Asking thoughtful questions helps you connect concepts, think critically, and stand out.
Professors at West Virginia University really appreciate when students engage like that, and it often opens the door to better conversations, mentorship, and even opportunities like research or internships.
So instead of thinking of questions as a backup plan, treat them as one of your best tools for learning and growing.
