Head down early enough to grab your second cup of coffee (who in their right mind is driving an hour without a first cup) and a runny egg sandwich at The Grind; the go-to campus coffee house counts Joe Hilty of The Vandal as an alum. Coffee in hand, take a stroll around the compact and charming Downtown campus. Head for the great outdoors. In a ten minute drive, Cooper’s Rock State Park offers up stunning, scenic valley & river views with miles of trails to explore. Spring & fall alike the vistas from this perch are second to none. We recommend grabbing a growler from Morgantown Brewing or Mountain State Brewing to enjoy on the overlook because...why not. In summer, pack a picnic and rent a boat for a lazy day float & swim on Cheat Lake. Make sure to climb the waterfalls too!
