Categories Rating Comments In three sentences It is a great way to get a jump start to your college education. It's location is usually fairly convenient to those around Parkersburg. The staff here are very friendly, and you can almost guarantee that you will end up with at least 1 professor who you love!
Tips for prospective students Get started on the financial aid part as soon as possible. That is the most difficult part. Don't worry so much about all of the rest.
Academic Rigor The work is hard, but usually you have great teachers to help you throught it.
Dorm Life There are no dorms.
Food and Dining The cafeteria is pretty good, considering what it could be. It can be a little expensive though.
What to do for fun There are many clubs to join. There are always things going on at the school itself, and outreaches to the students such as bowling and skiing trips.
Bang for the buck This school is not expensive, and is usually eaisly covered by financial aid and scholarships. You learn so much, and can earn a variety of degrees!
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus They are building more additions to the campus now, but it is a pretty low-key environment.
Great for these types of students All types of students wander these halls. But most everyone keeps to themselves, but you might be able to catch a friend or two by hanging out in a couple classes.
Clubs and Activities There is definitely a variety, I just haven't had the time between school and work to participate. But I know there are so many people who love it.
Greek Life We don't have one.
Campus Safety The campus police WILL get you for not having a parking pass. But the good thing is that even though that is annoying, that means you can see them patroling anytime so if something were to happen, they are close by.

Categories Rating Comments In three sentences I would rate WVUP a five stars because, they take pride in everything that they set out to achieve. I was scared about going back to school but that fear disappeared after the first week, everyone I meat was willing to help.
Tips for prospective students Do not let fear stand in your way, I would have returned to school a lot sooner I would already be living my new life.
Academic Rigor The are very goal orientated and let you know what you need to do to get to where you want to be.
Dorm Life WVUP does not have dorms, but I'm sure if they did they would be wounder fully maintained.
Food and Dining The dinning area at WVUP is well maintained and has a good variety of food.
What to do for fun They have put into the schedule 2 hours every Monday and Wednesday to have student events. The show movies, special speakers, cook outs, candle making, and other activities to make school fun.
Bang for the buck WVUP has what they call a Success Center in there they have tutors to help you if you need help. They also have several computers, resource material and a warm feel of neutering.

Great for these types of students WVUP is great for almost every student, they have wheel chair entrances, elevators, special classes for the seeing impaired and the hearing impaired.
Clubs and Activities All of the Clubs take an active part through out the school year. The activity are based around the community and for the fun of the students.
Greek Life I do not know much about the Greek life other then they have great activities through out the year.
Campus Safety I never heard of anything that ever got out of hand. Their was several security guards that walked around campus.
