West Virginia University is an institution of higher learning based in Morgantown, West Virginia, USA, with off-site campuses in Parkersburg, Montgomery, Keyser and Charleston. WVU was founded in 1867 as a land-grant university with the help of the Morrill Act, and was originally called the "Agricultural College of West Virginia." The university gained its current name in 1868. Enrollment for Fall semester of 2005 was 26,051 with school projections estimating enrollment reaching 30,000 before the year 2010. West Virginia University is also notoriously known for consistently being a top party school in the United States. This reputation is not well liked by school officials or the community but the students continue to perpetuate it.
The University has also received growing national recognition for its engineering programs. Upcoming projects include an engineering research park, advancements to the NASA/WVU IV&V Facility, as well as combined research with the Institute for Scientific Research [2], who is building its national research headquarters within 20 miles of WVU's Morgantown campus in Fairmont, West Virginia (A move from the University of California, Berkeley).
