My daughter was accepted to 5 excellent colleges. She thought her choice would be Penn State until we took a tour of West Liberty. They answered all our questions, took us on a full tour, talked to students and knew them by name. We were very impressed. We felt welcomed, and my daughter didn't just feel like another number. When speaking with students and asking how they liked the school all were favorable answers. My daughter is now entering her 3 year of college at WLU, and it's been a decision she has not regretted. I as a parent can't say enough about the school. I highly recommend it.
