Colleges in West Virginia: Appreciating West Virginia's Natural Bounty
Outdoorsy students who decide to attend colleges in West Virginia are in for a treat--the state is an adventure lover's paradise. The West Virginia Department of Tourism reports that West Virginia has over 200,000 acres of parks, wildlife preserves, and forests. Whether you are interested in skiing, whitewater rafting, mountain climbing, fishing, hiking, or hunting, West Virginia has the right terrain for your sport of choice.
West Virginia is called "The Mountain State" for a good reason: it is the only state entirely covered by the Appalachian Mountains. If you are looking for a fun weekend break from school, you should explore the mountains. Not only do the Appalachians offer plenty of skiing and hiking opportunities, they are perfect research grounds for students of the sciences. The Appalachian Mountains are some of the oldest mountain ranges on earth and have developed a rich collection of flora and fauna.
If you would like to try your hand at fishing or hunting, your college years in West Virginia could be the perfect time to practice the Hemingway lifestyle. According to the West Virginia Department of Tourism, West Virginia contains over 1.5 million acres of public land filled with waterfowl, deer, and other game. Also, West Virginia has over 180 streams fully stocked with trout. If you don't wish to hunt, you can still appreciate the hundreds of bird species that live in West Virginia's mountains, streams, rivers, and forests by going on birdwatching trips. .
Students who go to colleges in West Virginia can also learn spelunking. Plenty of caves are in West Virginia, including the Organ Cave, the Smoke Hole Caverns, and the Seneca Caverns. West Virginia is so rich in natural bounty that you might have a hard time balancing your explorations with your studying. Careful planning, however, should ensure that you have plenty of time for both.
