Our Community

When you enroll at WVU, you will become a member of the vibrant local community. Morgantown has been ranked as the “#1 Small City in America,” the “Best Small City in the East,” and the “3rd-Best Small Town” in the nation.

The natural beauty of West Virginia is awe-inspiring, and opportunities for skiing, hiking, rock climbing, white-water rafting, and snowboarding are close by.

“Morgantown is great. It has all of the amenities of a big city but a small-town atmosphere. Everything you’d want in a city is here. Everyone’s your friend, everyone’s looking out for you. It’s a great town to live in.”—Nick Hornbeck, civil engineering senior from Carroll, OH

“The people of Morgantown are some of the friendliest people I have ever come across. The location and the people in Morgantown make WVU the great place that it is.”—Grant Johnson, physical education/teacher education junior
from Elmira, NY
