About Off-Campus Housing Near West Virginia University
West Virginia University packs about 26,000 Mountaineers into Morgantown, a hilly Appalachian town along the Monongahela River where campus and city blur together. WVU splits across three areas, Downtown, Evansdale, and Health Sciences, linked by the PRT, a driverless people-mover locals treat as their own quirky subway. Fall Saturdays roar at Milan Puskar Stadium, and basketball fills the WVU Coliseum, with the Mountaineer and his musket leading the noise. Off campus, Sunnyside sits at the downtown edge as the classic student strip, while the Mon River Rail-Trail runs the riverfront for miles of running and biking. Downtown's High Street keeps the social scene close. It's a tight, hilly campus where the PRT does the heavy lifting.
West Virginia University Housing Requirements
Freshman Live-On Requirement
West Virginia University requires first-year students to live in university housing, and most off-campus complexes specifically lease only to non-freshmen. Freshmen who want an apartment-style setup are generally pointed toward the university's own Oakland-area apartments rather than private off-campus buildings.
Off-Campus Eligibility
Standard exemptions apply for students who are older, married, living with family nearby, or facing documented circumstances, all handled through WVU Housing before you commit elsewhere. Most students move off after freshman year once they clear the live-on requirement.
Lease Timing
Older houses run whole-unit 12-month leases where everyone shares responsibility, while newer complexes use by-the-bed leases. Many older houses leave all utilities to tenants, and parking on the hills is tight, so confirm both before signing. The big local quirk is terrain, since Sunnyside, South Park, and Wiles Hill all sit on steep streets.
