“I chose WLU because I wanted the best education possible that was still close to home. West Liberty offered the great education and environment that I had hoped for, so choosing the Hilltop was a no brainer. Looking back on
these last few years, I am very proud to call West Liberty my home.”

“I chose WLU because once I toured campus and met my now teammates, it really felt like home, which I had not experienced on other visits. All of the staff I was introduced to that day made me feel welcomed, accepted, and valued as a person and a student. The environment of the school truly does capture the saying “Hilltop is Home.”

“Perhaps my favorite thing about WLU is the small school atmosphere and it’s ability to present valuable
opportunities to anybody who is interested in them. Without WLU, I would not have been able to take
advantage of nearly as many opportunities as I have thus far.”

“I chose WLU for the student atmosphere, athletics, and the academic opportunities here. My professors are always incredibly understanding of my athletic schedule and can always help out when I have questions. My favorite thing about WLU has to be the friends that I have made both in my classes and on my sports teams, without them I would be where I am today.”
