Housing
Our residence halls and apartment complexes are much more than a place to sleep. You will study, relax, create and dream with like-minded friends.

Dining
A good meal is always nearby. Choose from four residential dining centers and retail locations like Chick-fil-A, Panda Express, I Love Juice Bar and Which Wich. Looking for low calorie or allergen-free options? We have those, too.

Transportation and Parking
Our electric people mover, the PRT, is the best ride in town. Where else can you glide above traffic in computer-driven cars while studying for your next class? Your student ID gives you free access to the PRT and Morgantown’s Mountain Line buses.
