Review Housing Options

WVU's residence halls are great places to live. There is a first-year live on requirement for first-time freshmen and transfer students with fewer than 24 credit hours because we know that living on-campus gives you a head start on your path to success. Check out each hall with a campus visit or a virtual tour and determine which hall will be the best for you. Be sure to check out the Living-Learning Communities - you can live in a community with people who share your interests and/or major. With a campus visit, you can experience what it's like to be a Mountaineer; schedule your visit with the Visitors Center.

Dining Plan Information

All students who reside in WVU's residence halls must choose a dining plan. Plans, created by WVU Dining with input from WVU's Student Government Association, are student-centered so you can focus on your studies without worrying about grocery shopping, cooking or kitchen clean-up.
