BUCKHANNON, West Virginia – Beginning in Fall 2024, West Virginia Wesleyan College full-time students from Barbour, Lewis, Randolph and Upshur Counties will have on-campus room costs reduced by $2,000 a year.

The move comes as more students choose to live on campus from these counties. The rate reduction will be honored for all campus housing choices for the length of time a student is enrolled at WVWC.

President James Moore said, “By removing the variables of students needing to find an apartment and deal with monthly utilities and groceries, we help families control costs, and we ensure a more stable learning and living environment where young people can both enjoy themselves and focus on academic and extracurricular success. Lots of students and their families already see the value in this type of experience, even students who live within a reasonable commuting distance of Wesleyan.”
