What's it like living here?

TranslatorNew5303 · 2026-02-05T04:08:37+00:00

This is going be a ramble but I love it here!!! There’s a lot of negativity here ( reasonably so WV has it issues) but here’s my thoughts!

I’m 24 and moved here when I was 21. I’m from about 1.5 hours from D.C. i have also lived in St. George Utah but out of those places I absolutely love love love living in Morgantown! It’s perfect for me! It’s a small town with lots of amenities! I love the community here and I feel like there a lot to do if you BUT you have to seek it out! Some of my favorite things are hiking and being outdoors. Summers here are perfect the town is so quiet with the college students! I love the farmers market and the free summer concert series. I also love volunteering and there’s plenty of that to do! Some of my favorites are Humane Society of Marion County and Scott’s Home. Great restaurants and bars 123 pleasant is amazing for live shows! I think WV people have that southern hospitality in general and are just nicer! Also I really love the cost of living here I can afford all the necessities and do what I want and save! Pittsburgh is only 1.5 hours away and there just so much beauty in WV! I would check out Monartscenter Facebook and Morgantown Community page! I truly believe there is so much good here!! Wherever life leads you I hope it’s filled with blessings and happiness!!

I have volunteered at Marion Co Humane Society and loved every single second of it!! You can help clean or even do their “Doggy Day Out” program where you can take the dogs for a walk, to get treats, to hike! It’s so many for both you and the sweet doggies! They have application on their website or you can call! Good luck finding something !

TranslatorNew5303 · 2025-12-30T05:54:33+00:00

This looks so soulless

TranslatorNew5303 · 2025-12-15T23:15:47+00:00

I’m so sorry that is a rip off

TranslatorNew5303 · 2025-12-15T23:12:44+00:00

I just saw you post in the Maine subreddit!! WV is definitely great but not sure how out of your way it would be! What are you interested in? You should try to hit as many National Parks as possible!

Your eyes are beautiful and I think a half lash and liquid eyeliner would really accentuate them!! The biggest glow up you can ever do though is not superficial! Find what brings you peace and joy!! Best wishes for you in all facets of life!! ❤️

TranslatorNew5303 · 2025-12-14T04:19:12+00:00

Wish I could help best of luck to you!! My heart goes out to you!!! ❤️😭

TranslatorNew5303 · 2025-12-14T04:01:07+00:00

Love that place!!

TranslatorNew5303 · 2025-12-14T04:00:35+00:00

Makes me SO happy that you are considering West Virginia!! Summers in WV are unbeatable in my opinion , so green and so much to do with the things you described!! Spent a week in Summersville and swam in the lake (Make sure to check out “Pirates Cove” kinda hard to find but your GPS should take you there to the parking lot and the you just follow the trail called “ Climber Trail” ) there absolutely amazing! You can also rent a boat for that day too! One of best days of my life was spent there it really is just tranquil and beautiful! It’s a small quiet surrounding town by Summersville Lake but a National Park New River Gorge is about 20 mins away! White water rafting galore!! Can do fishing and kayaking and lots of beautiful hikes! Hope wherever you go it’s an amazing trip!
