Campus Life

On our close-knit campus, you won't have to walk far to find entertainment, recreation, service opportunities, and social activities. As a member of the Mountain State University family, you can join with other students to pursue common interests both inside the classroom and out.

On campus, you can enjoy concerts, comedy performances, lectures, readings, dances, and other special events. Workshops, seminars, and issue-oriented programs help keep you informed on topic from personal safety to career options and volunteer opportunities.
