Read first-hand reflections on the Honors College experience from other students.

The WVU Honors College has opened doors for me that I never even knew existed. Over the past few years I have been able to travel outside the country, meet countless new friends and cultivate more one on one interactions with my professors. WVU offers countless opportunities to engage your aspirations and enhance your college experience which is something I'm truly proud to be a part of.
