Favorite Thing About WVU and Statler College
My favorite thing about WVU is the amount of opportunity for connection with other students. There are so many different extracurricular activities that you can be a part of, and it gives students the opportunity to make friends with people you otherwise may never have met.
Advice for Prospective Students
I would tell prospective students that you should aim to get involved in at least one thing during freshman year. It can be extremely intimidating to put yourself out there and make new friends, but it is so worth it. Getting involved truly changed my college experience, and I have no regrets about joining the groups that I am a part of, even though it was scary at first.
