What will you miss most about WVU?

"My favorite thing about West Virginia University is that the people here are some of the most friendly and welcoming people you'll ever meet, and those people carry into the Adventure West Virginia program. I originally came to WVU mainly because I knew I wanted somewhere with mountains. I saw the campus and I was, like, 'Wow, this is amazing. This is so different from what I'm used to.' I learned about Adventure WV, and I became really excited for my First-Year Trip experience, and then it really did change my life and set me up exactly where I needed to be. After going to work with Adventure WV, I realized my passion is in outdoor recreation. I didn't know that was a career path, and now I feel like I've really found my purpose and what I want to do for the rest of my life."
