How would you rate your experience overall at WVU? Do you ever miss being in college? Every August for the first few years after I graduated I got sad and wished I was going back to school. I'm over that now but have to say WVU was a great 4 years! Anyone else have an opinion?

I had the same longings as you. After spending the four years going to school, it seemed so weird not to be going back in August. I really miss the excitement that was generated around that time of year.

I agree. It is an exciting time of year. You get to reconnect with friends and start over with new classes. The funny thing was my senior year I was ready to be finished. Then once it was over I wanted to go back. Isn't it funny how we long for what we don't have?

I hated going back to uni each August. I was so far from home, I mean 4500 miles or more, and I wouldn't see my family and friends for so long. But then I NEVER went home, which was a bit silly given how homesick I was.

I still miss the place, but I am glad that it's over. I dreaded the thought of going to college in the first place because I hate dorms, and love my own space and place to cook. So now that it's over, I'm glad I did it, but I don't ever wish I was still there.

I can see why you'd like that The freshmen just bugged me though....too many pathetic looking homesick lost faces. I couldn't wait till we reached December and everyone was settled in again.

Freshman really were just to boaring , just knowing noone and working all alone was a just heck of job but later years were fine when i lots of people knowing me , actually at that time we had some good communities
