Being in Morgantown and going to West Virginia University is an exciting experience. There is so much going on at all times that its possible for your time here to fly right past without a thought to you. You need to take advantage of your time here and spend it in the best way possible! So weve assembled a small Motown Bucket List to be completed before leaving Morgantown!
Starting with the obvious: attend a WVU football game. WVUs football team is a prestigious and incredibly successful team. But the most fun part of any WVU game isnt the game itself, its the tailgating. Gates to the stadium usually open about an hour and a half before the game so there isnt too much time to enjoy yourself before heading into the game to enjoy yourself some more! Youll need your tents, tables and grills to cook up some delicious fuel for the game. Some popular tailgating pastimes include corn hole, loud music and wearing your home team colors loudly and proudly. Dont miss out on the experience of a WVU football game. Its obligatory for everyone in Morgantown, student or not. To see the football schedule for this year head here.
Marios Fishbowl is the popular hangout for every over 21 student at WVU. You cant leave without trying one of their beers served in a giant goblet aptly named the Fishbowl which come from the local Morgantown Glassworks. While youre drinking from your fishbowl, you might as well have some delicious grub while youre at it. Their sandwiches are amazing and there are so many to choose from. We recommend the nachos to go with your fishbowl: perfect combination! Marios Fishbowl is only a 3 minute drive away from Pierpont Place Apartments and a 10 minute walk if youve had a couple of fishbowls! Make sure you leave your mark on the wall at Marios too!
Dorseys Knob is quite the spectacle. Sky Rock stands nearly 600 feet above the sweeping valleys and soaring pines. The 70 acre park is only a little outside of Morgantown but it feels a world away. If youre feeling particularly brave, you can try your hand at scaling Sky Rock! If that poses too big of a challenge, you can join in on a fun disc golf game throughout the entire park. Dorseys Knob Park is located only 10 minutes away from Pierpont Place Apartments so the drive isnt long but you might find yourself getting lost within the park!
Morgantown is an exciting and bustling place. You cant leave it without trying certain fun things exclusive only to Motown! Whether its exploring Dorseys Knob Park, drinking a fishbowl at Marios or attending a WVU football game, these things are the epitome of Morgantown! Dont leave without trying them at least once!
