Your family plays an important role in your successful transition to West Virginia University. Parents need to learn more about all the student support services that are available to help you. Your guests will attend sessions designed just for them, as well as some sessions with you. During Orientation parents and guests will meet with academic advisors, Housing and Residential Education staff, the Mountaineer Parents Club, financial aid counselors, and other parents. They also have the option to stay overnight in the residence halls with other parents and guests.
All rooms are air-conditioned and double occupancy with two twin beds.
Student participants will be assigned roommates and share bathroom facilities with other students staying on their floor. Parent couples will be assigned to the same room unless otherwise requested. If only one parent or guest is attending, they will be assigned a room with another parent or guest of the same gender. It is not mandatory that you stay in the ERC, but we strongly encourage it. There are several area motels and hotels.
