As a first year student, you do not need a car. Morgantown is a terrible place when it comes to parking. Luckily, everything on the downtown campus is easy to walk to. To get to classes on the other campuses we have the PRT and a bus system. To get to a class on the Evansdale campus, or Engineering Campus, my advice would be to use the bus system because it is much faster then the PRT. The PRT is best to use when going to the Medical Center or the football field, but I think should be avoided as much as possible because it is old and breaks down a lot. Also, if it is possible to live downtown the first year, that would be the best decision. There is a lot more to do on the downtown campus. My suggestion for dorms on the downtown campus would be Summit Hall, The Honors Dorm, or Boreman South. read full review

In your first year live downtown. Living on Evansdale sucks, it's two miles away and on top of a mountain from all of your classes even if your an engineering major. Only recommend it for Music majors. Don't bring your car you will not find a place to park it. Also the Honors college is a cool place to live.
The bistro downtown is the best place to eat on campus, get there at 11ish when they open before the lunch rush. And finally, befriend an upperclassmen that has a car in your first year. read full review
