About Attending WVU: “Joining clubs really solidified my college experience. Getting two majors in four years takes its toll. So to be able to go out and meet people you only smile at in class and go on unique trips creates some amazing bonds and memories. Not only does it bring you closer to your fellow students, your school, and your community, but also opens additional opportunities and lines of communication with your professors. WVU is a place I will forever call home, tied together with lifelong friends and professors that I can count on to this day.”
