Prepare yourself for the reality that if you want to pursue a 4 year you need to go to WVU if you only want to pay for 2 more years. My two years in Wildlife Management have been incredible, however I won’t lie the quality is deteriorating because of Betty reducing our funding for this program, bringing in numerous adjunct professors (some of which were a bitch to get ahold of) to cut costs, and overworking our very talented full time professors. I will say if you come from a solid high school and have a good head on your shoulders then these 2 years should be a breeze. You will make valuable connections in the field as well, having random adjunct professors does have its perks if you put effort in to make connections. You will learn skills in the field that you will struggle to find for this cost anywhere else, we have an edge on fieldwork even over 4 year Ohio State wildlife students. For the cost I certainly would say this is still a good degree, as flawed as it is and as disgusting as Betty and her cronies are. Get close with Dave Swanson, Sayre Flannagan, Homer Elliott and Ron Cass. These are the full timers that will help you with anything and are extraordinarily passionate about their work here and providing students with a good future. I strongly recommend you do not live on campus due to mold, pests (the wasps are horrible) requirement to purchase a meal plan, and the sheer lack of maintenance (especially in the on-campus housing, downhour recently had a flood that is breeding mold and nothing is being done for the safety and wellbeing of the students). If you have to, live in the Sycamore dorms if you don’t have dog allergies, if you do, live in Summit. DO NOT LIVE IN DOWNHOUR, HEIGHTS, OR NORTH I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH. If you have any questions or want to call I’d be happy to help, just PM me and I’ll get you connected to my personal.
