I’ve always wondered how WV can be such a distressed state, yet WVU is considered to be a very good school.

 

Are you considered an empty nester if they will be coming home during school breaks?

 

I was very emotional when my daughter went off to college more than three hours away.  I was not so emotional when my son went to college about 15 minutes away.  My daughter hardly ever came back after that first year, but it took a few years before my son was officially moved out.

Good luck to him and congratulations to his mother!

 

(but, they’ll be back. Don’t get used to the peace and quiet.)

Good luck getting B-ball tickets.

 

I'm serious. 

 

My kid went to WVU for their Masters in some sort of Industrial Engineering program. At that time, there were less than 30 Universities in the country that had this curriculum.

 

Anyways, could not get tickets to a Mountaineer basketball game those two years.

Kudos to your son and WVU - Dr Gee one of the best in the biz.

 

Best comment  >>>  Best of luck with the transition! Enjoy the peace, and have faith. It all works out fine, I promise. Just as it’s meant to. 

he seems like a great guy..spoke at my sons orientation session, and then we actually got to meet him for 30 seconds as he was walking across campus.

 

WVU looks great, my only hope is he puts int he work necessary!!!! One of the reasons he choose there is they have a couple fantastic programs for kids with pretty severe ADHD, which my son has. He has all the resources( lined them up himself which is a good sign). Now he just has to use them!

My main takeaway in this that @plenzmd1 must have been near ancient when this child was born.

amazing isnt it..and to think you are the same age as my pops...wow!!!

 

(btw, my dad would have been 101 this year!!!!!!!)

If you want him to have a better attitude maybe USMC would have the edge over WVU.  More budget friendly too.

believe me, it was discussed..another bonus of WVU for us is his major is not available at a VA state school, so he gets in state Tuition! Big savings!

Does he play football?  The BILLS have done very well, over the years, with WVU players.

My youngest daughter is a WVU grad and still lives in MoTown.

Good luck to your son.  Other than the traffic, Morgantown is great.

 

Moving in day at WVU is like this ...10000 cars looking for 5000 parking spaces.

I told a neighbor that once they find a parking space, NEVER  leave it.

When they came back, he told me I was 100% correct.

Football game days are crowded and a ton of fun.

thank god we moved in a day early, which was yesterday. Not bad at all, whole process was 30 minutes start to finish( in terms of stuff in his room). In order to do that, he had to help people move in today from 8-12..said lines were a mess and was taking people 2 hours!

 

He is a big football fan, and ended up in the Oakland Hall..which is basically right next to the football stadium! He is really excited about that.

 

BTW, could not figure out if the hospital is right next to the stadium cause so many people need help on game days????

There  is a LOT of alcohol consumed on game days. Wait until he sees the RV lot on a game day.

Darryl Talley.

Most WV Bills fans  are fans because of Darryl Talley.

I got to meet Jeff Hosteller as his son was in the same dorm as my daughter when she was a freshman.

When I shook his hand, I asked him, "How did Bruce Smith NOT knock that ball out of your hand in the Super Bowl."
