WVU campus
The city campus of WVU provides students with countless opportunities for work and recreation — from sitting in a coffee shop with a laptop to internships at large companies. Morgantown has a well developed entertainment infrastructure, but the rhythm of the big city can be distracting for some students. There is a library on the grounds of the university. There are collected scientific works of graduates and teachers of the university, as well as fiction. WVU regularly invites foreign students to participate in exchange programs. For locals, this is a unique opportunity to get in touch with the cultures of other countries, meet representatives of different nationalities and make friends around the world.
To stay in the country for another year after graduation, you need to renew your student visa or apply for a job seeker visa. Look for more immigration options in our article.
