    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.

    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.
