What is there to do in the local cities?

The closest city to West Liberty University is Wheeling, West Virginia. Wheeling is considered a small city, but fun and exciting none the less. Pittsburgh is a larger city and is located about an hour and a half from the university in Pennsylvania. In both of these cities, there are many fun and interesting things to do, from going to concerts, to eating at local restaurants.
