Individual campus tours will be offered Monday-Friday at 9am and 1pm with one visitor (family) per time slot. Please schedule your visit at least 7-10 days in advance as we will not be accepting “walk-in” tours.
All visits will consist only of the campus tour and meeting with an Admissions Counselor. Due to COVID-19, we are not able to show any dorm rooms and some classrooms/facilities are restricted. However, after your visit, you will receive an email with links to view videos of our dorms, majors, faculty spotlights and more. If you’d like more information on a major/program, we will provide you with contact information to schedule a virtual appointment with a faculty member.
University offices will be closed for winter break until January 4, 2021. Tours will resume on January 20, 2021.

Take a look around, ask questions, grab a bite to eat or schedule an appointment with the Admissions Office for a detailed tour. Nothing provides you with insight about a campus like a visit. Whether you have come to our campus to participate in one of our campus events, are considering making West Liberty part of your academic future, or are here to simply cheer on the Hilltoppers to another victory, you have landed in a special place. West Liberty University is steeped in tradition with a welcoming network of student, faculty, staff and alumni all working together to create an ideal living and learning environment.
West Liberty is located in the serene mountains of West Virginia’s northern panhandle, yet only an hour from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, with shopping, attractions and professional sports teams: Pirates Baseball, Steelers Football and Penguins Hockey.
