When I made the decision to come to WVU I hardly knew anything about
it.Sometimes when I am stuck inside the tiny dorms, because of the
rainy cold weather and think of home as I eat the nasty cafeteria food
I wonder if I should have gone to another college.Then I snap out if
it.Do you feel you made a mistake by coming here? If so why, if not
why not? Are you going to transfer?

Hey I know exactly how you feel!. When I first wanted to go to WVU, one of the main reasons was because it was close to my boyfriends college. However once I got here I was homesick for about a month and for about the first two weeks I would cry myself to sleep. Then I loved it! But then after we got back from Christmas after telling everyone how much i loved it here, i was home sick again. I talked about transfering with my parents a million times, but i really do feel that I could just be homesick where ever i went and that Wvu is really an all around good school !
I agree with you completely, also! My main reason for choosing to come to WVU was because i got directly admitted into the nursing program. Another big factor was the fact that I'm from Charleston so WVU was the perfect distance from home - 2.5 hours was just right for being away from the family, yet close enough for weekend trips home. I would have to say that I have most definitely thought about transferring. I went through numerous personal issues, including the break up with a longgg time boyfriend, and the death of my grandmother. All I wanted was to be home with my family and not have to worry about school! After weighing out the options, I decided to stay. I'm definitely not a quitter and will most certainly finish what I started here at WVU. Plus, I know that I would completely regret leaving or transferring and it just seemed as though the pros for staying outweighed the cons in this situation.
I've thought about whether WVU was the right choice for me before too. I don't live that far away, but I didn't bring my car so I can't go home whenever I want to. Sometimes I get home sick to, but I know I have to stick it out because in a few years I am really going to be totally on my own.
I personally dont think i made the wrong decision. I love west virginia and the area that surrounds it. OUtdoors and sports are a huge thing for me and i thought this place would be good. My major was also a benefit. I have never thought of transfering but i do get home sick and miss my family alot. But my friends are here adn they keep me in good shape.
I think i made the right choice about coming to WVU. I can not picture myself at any other school after experiencing the good time i have had here for the first semester and a half. Sure the weather isn't all that great but that is the least of my worries. I want to spend the next four to five years of my life right here at West Virginia University.
I know exactly how you feel. Last year was tough for me becuase it's really hard to adjust to college life. I had the same conversation with my parents but I am so glad that I didn't. It was tough cause I am so far away from home and I couldn't even go home for a weekend. Now this year I do not even have that much of a desire to go home for spring break, just becuase I have so much fun here. It all changed for me when I started hanging out at the fraternity which I now am in. I like having a place to go and people to do activities with. Last year it seemed like a could never find something fun to do around here but now that I am in the fraternity it has created a vas array of things to do. Now it seems like theres to much to do and not enough time to do it. I would just suggest getting involved with something here. If greek life isn't for you there are tons of other clubs and such that can get you active. I just like being greek becuase it gives the oppurtunity to do activities and events that I otherwise would not be able to do.
If only I would've paid attention to this earlier...
But I question everyday whether or not WVU was the right choice for me. Honestly, I just came here because they offered me the most money in scholarships (besides Ohio schools) and I just wanted to go out of state. I wanted to break out of the Ohio high school student routine, where they all just go to OSU or some branch of it. I was sick of all that, so I looked at WVU as my escape. But a lot of stuff has happened since I came here. I've missed out on my friends, boyfriend,and family I feel so disconnected from them that I find myself getting in my car and making the 3 hour drive home every weekend. No joke, literally every weekend. When I stayed last weekend everyone in my hall was amazed, and the only reason why is because my boyfriend came to visit. I'll have frustrating days where I get a parking ticket (sometimes two), where I do bad on a paper that I thought I did really good at, or when my roommate is obnoxiously loud when I'm trying to sleep. Those are the days that I think to myself, "If only I would've stayed home in my brand new house and gone to OSU." I consider transferring, but the thing is, I feel so torn into pieces. WVU is beautiful, I love my classes, my teachers, my friends, and Morgantown. I've got a routine when I'm there and when my mind snaps back to being home I feel instantly depressed, like all I'm supposed to be doing is missing it. Missing what I wanted to get away from. I feel some days as if everything would be better if I just completely cut myself off from home. But I'm sticking it out, I'm trying to make everything work when half of my heart is in Ohio. I guess you could say that I'm still trying to adjust, because I really haven't yet. Sad I know. But I'm still staying next year, and no matter how hard the days get here, I'm really glad I am.
