Gray Beard Posted August 15, 2019 Posted August 15, 2019 I’ve always wondered how WV can be such a distressed state, yet WVU is considered to be a very good school. Are you considered an empty nester if they will be coming home during school breaks? I was very emotional when my daughter went off to college more than three hours away. I was not so emotional when my son went to college about 15 minutes away. My daughter hardly ever came back after that first year, but it took a few years before my son was officially moved out.

US Egg Posted August 15, 2019 Posted August 15, 2019 (edited) Good luck getting B-ball tickets. I'm serious. My kid went to WVU for their Masters in some sort of Industrial Engineering program. At that time, there were less than 30 Universities in the country that had this curriculum. Anyways, could not get tickets to a Mountaineer basketball game those two years.

Expand he seems like a great guy..spoke at my sons orientation session, and then we actually got to meet him for 30 seconds as he was walking across campus. WVU looks great, my only hope is he puts int he work necessary!!!! One of the reasons he choose there is they have a couple fantastic programs for kids with pretty severe ADHD, which my son has. He has all the resources( lined them up himself which is a good sign). Now he just has to use them!
