WVU SOM Housing Survey

Please consider filling out the WVU SOM Housing Survey to assist the Class of 2030 in their search for housing for next year. Securing housing is often listed as one of the biggest stressors in the transition process for new students, and providing your feedback on this survey will help the incoming class make a confident housing decision. The anonymous survey should take approximately five minutes to complete. The housing guide is being developed in collaboration with VeryApt.
