Review of Morgantown, West Virginia


Nice town to go to school in
Star Rating - 1/14/2008
Morgantown is a nice town to go to school in overall. The activities that were available through WVU were good and could keep the average student busy. My biggest gripe is that once you graduate, there's not a lot to do actually in Morgantown after you lose access to many WVU related activities. WVU also pretty much runs the town and whenever the city tries to do something positive, it often has to fight WVU to fend for the best interest of the residents. Residents often take a back seat to students as the ratio is about 1:1 and students will soon outnumber the residents if current growth continues.
