Fall in love with West Virginia University

Morgantown becomes a special place for Mountaineers for a reason, and we’re confident that you’ll be able to find yours. It’s a small town that punches above its weight — from outdoor activities to the arts, farm-to-table fine dining to food trucks at the HSC Farmers Market — a day or weekend off is filled with potential.

For the Adventurer

Thrill seekers and casual adventurers can find an activity that suits them right in their backyard. With close proximity to state parks and national forests, easy access to walking and biking trails, and its streams and lakes, Morgantown combines the convenience of a city with all the natural beauty of the state.

For the Foodie

One thing that is always in season in Morgantown is its local flavor. From the West Virginia classic pepperoni roll to five-star fine dining to all annual fairs and festivals that honor various food items, there is a place to fit the bill whether it’s a quick bite after a long shift or a full day of food and drink at the campgrounds.

For the Explorer

From festivals and fairs to performances and concerts, there's always something happening in Morgantown and the surrounding areas. International foods, Appalachian heritage, family-oriented activities and local artists are all on display throughout the year.

For the One-Stop Shoppers

The Health Sciences Campus is more than classrooms and simulation labs -- pretty much everything you need can be found here. Places to study, recharge, eat, work out and collaborate with students from a variety of backgrounds and disciplines.
