Where to get a gift card for a student

My cousin is living on campus at WVU Tech. I’d like to get her a gift card for something that’s on campus like Starbucks or Dunkin or a different coffee/break spot. What is on campus or nearby that she could use?

I'm about to commit but I got questions!

Hi y'all! I just got accepted into WVU as a transfer student. I'm going in as a General Business Major and I'm trying to double up in Theatre Production and Design as well. I think I'm commiting to WVU but I just got a few questions about the whole thing.

1.) How is the business/theatre department? Good, bad, pros, cons?

2.) I'll be on campus in Morgantown so what should I be on the lookout for (like weather, people, events)?

3.) What are some general pros and cons about WVU?

4.) What are some good on campus jobs?

Thank you to anyone that answers, I appreciate y'all taking time out of your day to read and respond! 🧡

Pitt to WVU

Just wondering if I could make an 8 PM kickoff in Morgantown (Iowa State @ WVU 10/12) if I am coming from the 3:30 PM Cal @ Pitt game on 10/12. How much of the Pitt game would I have to miss assuming it’s an average game for the sake of time? Seeing it’s 1 hr 21 minutes from Acrisure Stadium to Milan Puskar stadium. Thanks.

Why is the Mountainlair so rundown?

So the roof is leaking in the Mountainlair today, and the answer is to put out some buckets. I get sometimes leaks get started and you have to make a temporary measuring while you figure out how to fix it, but it just seems unacceptable considering all the other issues in the building. Why is the Lair so worn down? The ballrooms are outdated, the building looks like it was last refreshed in 2005, and everything just feels so old. For a building that should be a showpiece for the university, it’s kind of sad. And don’t get me started on how a student union building doesn’t have some sort of gym. We have so many other buildings we don’t need that have been built or renovated (I’m looking at you, Reynolds Hall), so why neglect the Lair?? Do better, WVU!q

West Virginia football at Arizona

Hi All,

non alumni here but my wife grew up a West Virginia football fan back in the Rich Rod era but hasn't attended a home or away game in her life. we live in Southern California and are stoked that WVU is going to be playing one game out here a season between Utah, Colorado, and the Arizonas.

my question is, where are people staying and where can we join the west virgina pregame tailgate?

excited to party with you all who come out

Best place to get a haircut in Morgantown?

I am very protective of my hair. I have decently long hair and need somebody who is comfortable using scissors and layering, which is hard to find as a dude. Barbers always fuck me up.

Hey everyone,

I'm an editor for the DA, and this week I am writing a piece about the academic advisors at WVU. If you have had any experience with your advisor--good or bad--and you don't mind talking about them with me, respond to this thread! As scheduling is coming up for current students, I want to share the general public's experience with their advisor and help students form better relationships with them.

Neal Brown sucks

Nothing else to say really. He’s the shits. Can’t get the guys ready every week. Convinced everyone he was heading the right direction by winning a bowl game against a North Carolina team that is currently giving up 52 points to James Madison. He seems like a good guy but he can’t recruit and coach with the big dogs.

Class Times

Hello, can someone tell me the start/end times for classes? I’m trying to figure out when to avoid driving past the Mountainlair/downtown campus to miss traffic. It’s been a couple years since I graduated and I don’t remember the times very well. Do MWF classes still start on the 30s and end on the 20s of the hour? And what about TR?

Thanks.

admissions question

hi! i recently got accepted into wvu. i got the email congratulating me on getting accepted about a week and a half ago, but i have yet to get the physical letter/packet they say was sent. is it normal for it to be this long? i was able to create an account and wvu mix email, but where i sent in my application ( on the wvu site itself, not common app) it still says pending. i’m just an anxious person and currently am convincing myself i fell for a scam or a prank. any help would be appreciated, thank you!!

The Daily Athenaeum, searching for students to interview on balancing pet ownership and student life responsibilities

Hi, all!

I'm a writer for WVU's student newspaper, The Daily Athenaeum, and I'm working on a story about balancing pet ownership and the responsibilities of student life.

I am looking for students who would be interested in going on the record discussing their personal experiences balancing pet ownership and academic/extracurricular commitments. This includes students who own or have owned cats, dogs or other exotic pets during their academic career.

My deadline is tomorrow evening.

Comment or message me ASAP if interested!

Thank you!
