West Virginia...

[shopgirl]

Is there a University of West Virginia or just a West Virginia University? I searched the internet, on aol, and could only find WVU...nothing about UWV. Someone, anyone?

***I know this seems like an odd question, but I even searched a page with the listings of all WV colleges and universities and didn't find one. That just seems odd to me.

hey shop girl, to my knowledge, not 100% sure though I don't think there is a UWV, The really big school in West Virginia is WVU mounatiners. I know a lot of the colleges in WV are in cojunction with WVU, like Pot State in Keyser and some other ones. But WVU is an awesome school. Hope that helped

Just WVU, no UWV. There is a West Virginia State College though.

Thanks a million!!!
My mother told me that my cousin was going to UWV, so when I looked it up (so I could check out the greek system of course), I didn't find anything.
Thanks for the confirmation!!!

I think this is similar to my mom referring to the once-popular rapper "MJ Hammer." Love ya, Mom!!

PiBetaPhi - OMG - do you know how odd it is to me (I'm 30+) to hear someone say there is nothing to do at WVU? That used to be party central back in the day....

From what I've heard, it still is party central. My boyfriend has a friend that goes there, and they talk about all the crazy parties that go on there.

Not a whole lot to do there???? Have you ever been? Morgantown is the stereotypical college town. Oh, and it is only West Virginia University, there is no University of West Virginia. Although it seems that whenever there is someone from WVU on Jeopardy, Alex Trebek calls it Univ. of WV!

I went to WVU for a semester, and I must say, there is PLENTY to do there (hence why I only went there a semester). It's very weird, everyone from WV knows that the name of the school is WVU, but out-of-staters always call it University of WV...

I'm going to WVU right now...and like someone said, a lot of people only go here for a semester.

During my freshman year in the dorms, when I came back from Winter break only about half my dorm did as well...the rest failed out. Walking down town, there is about 3 bars for every regular store.

Hee, I hear you on the name confusion. More than once, I've had to tell people I didn't go to the University of Indiana, because such a place does not exist. I went to Indiana University, which does.

I'm a WVU'er too!!! Cora.....what GLO???

Marshall University is also in West Virginia.

Country Roads

Almost heaven, West Virginia
Blue ridge mountain, Shenandoah river
Life is old there, older then the trees
Younger than the mountains, flowing like the breeze

(Chorus) Country roads, take me home
To the place, I belong
West Virginia, Mountain Mama
Take me home, country roads

All my memories, gather round her
Miner's lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusky, painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye

(chorus)

I hear her voice in the morning hour she calls me
Radio reminds me of my home far away
Driving down the road I get a feeling that I should
of been home yesterday (yesterday)

Sorry, y'all, i had to.
