Favorite Thing About WVU and Statler College

My favorite thing about WVU is the number of outdoor activities that are available to students and how students are encouraged to take part in them.

Advice for Prospective Students

Learn to be comfortable being uncomfortable. The best conversations and opportunities usually come from putting yourself outside of your comfort zone; however, pushing yourself in this way will help you grow tremendously.
