Asked by a high schooler
ReportLike any university, the difficulty of a class depends a lot on the professor teaching it. However, I will say, be prepared to use outside resources like Rate My Professor to gauge if a professor's teaching style fits YOUR learning style. Being in college means being able to adapt to new situations! Overall, the academic difficulty is a bit high, but you will find so many resources to help you at NO additional cost!
It definitely depends first off on what your specific major is. I am a general business major and don't find my workload too complex, but my friend who is a nursing student would definitely say her workload is challenging. To add on to Robyn, Rate My Professor is definitely a great resource to help you pick classes when stuck between professors. I would say WVU would be a 5/10 on the difficult skill because it truly can be less or more depending on the choices you make in regards to course load.
