Why did you choose to attend WVU? 
I chose to attend WVU because I loved the atmosphere of campus and the overall energy of the mountaineer spirit.

What do you like about your major and your WVU experience? 
I have loved the connections that I have made with various different people and how I have been able to build really intimate relationships with people inside and outside of my major. This is made possible because of how tight-knit the Creative Arts Center is and also because of how lively campus life is. There is always a new face to see.

What advice would you give to prospective students considering attending WVU's College of Creative Arts? 
I would suggest figuring out what your top priorities are when looking at a university to attend. Make sure you have a list of at least 3 things, whether they be campus life, landscape, activities, etc. Just make sure to check off as many boxes as possible and decide where you would find the most growth and improvement in yourself based on these things. Always remember to be open-minded.
