Every Day.

Being a Mountaineer is about more than going to class and celebrating big wins. It’s about the unexpected connections, favorite hangouts, tiny adventures, and personal discoveries.

Housing

We have a space that's right for you! Living on campus gives you a taste of independence and the chance to meet new people — with the amenities of home, 24-hour safety and a live-in support system. You’ll be only steps away from campus dining locations.

Dining

What's on the menu? Just about everything: three residential dining centers and 20+ more campus locations with menus posted online. Try fresh and authentic Mexican food at Adobo Cantina, a partnership with TV chef Aarón Sánchez. You can even have your order delivered with Grubhub.

Climbing at the Rec Center

Recreation

What kind of Mountaineers would we be if we didn't have a massive climbing wall? Or an Outdoor Recreation Center, complete with low-cost gear rentals? Campus Recreation has plenty of opportunities to get involved and stay active with your friends and classmates.

Athletics

The Mountaineers play for the pride of WVU – and the entire state. As a student, you have a front row seat for the excitement. Join the Mountaineer Maniacs for perks like priority seating. Or get in on the competition yourself by playing intramurals or club sports.

Life at WVU

Morgantown

What makes Morgantown so special? Friendly people, a strong relationship between WVU and the City, a beautiful location, and a mix of people from around the world.

Safety

Our campus is generally very safe, and officers patrol 24/7 to make sure it stays that way. Residence halls are staffed around the clock. No one can enter a residence hall after midnight without a valid resident identification card.

When emergencies do arise, WVU Alert messages quickly notify the community. You also can download for an on-the-go connection with authorities and your family and friends.
