What Students Are Saying
Food card is mandatory first year. The food is good. You can also use it a few fast food restaurants which is nice.
WVU Mountaineer
the food is great! I am a sophmore now and I still brought a meal plan because it was so good.
Dominique from Philadelphia, PA
I honestly enjoyed all the food at WVU. Just as there are many dorms to choose from, there are multiple dining halls to choose from and everyone has their favorite. I loved Boreman Bistro; they have a great salad bar, deli, and even a coffee bar. If you're looking for something after a good work out at the student rec, try the Juice Bar at Evansdale Crossing. Looking for some of your favorite chain restaurants? Check the Mountainlair!
