It has come to our attention that they are rumors that several of our interns may have been involved in unlicensed underground taco eating contest in or around the downtown Morgantown area. While we can confirm the reports of people involved have been seen dressed like our mascot “The Rizzler” as depicted in our flyers. We cannot confirm or deny at this point that any of those people dressed like our mascot are active in our organization. Furthermore reports of a taco shortage occurring on or around May 5 because of these contest have been debunked. We are issuing this PSA so the concerned members of our community can be reassured that on Cinco de Mayo, We will have ample tacos and other Mexican delights ( like 4 buck Margaritas ) available at our event at 123 Pleasant St.

In addition, we would like to state that here at Are We Cool Yet? We do not condone such reckless consumption of tacos. We believe that tacos are a wonderful gift for our southern border friends. We believe that tacos should be enjoyed with a fine beer, good friends, and great music . Tacos should not be eaten as quickly as possible, but should be savored at a safe pace. Reckless consumption of tacos at a “as fast as possible pace” should not be encouraged even if such things as “pride”, “bragging rights”, or “proof of who is the bigger taco fan”, is on the line. Such actions can lead to sluggishness on the dance floor and should be avoided.

Here at Are We Cool Yet? We take taco consumption and abuse seriously. While we investigate claims of our interns possible involvement in such eating contests. We assure you if anyone from our organization is involved, we shall shame them and suspend their taco privileges. We will not tolerate such taco abuse on our watch, especially as Cinco de Mayo approaches.

If anyone has more information about these so-called taco eating contest, we encourage you to contact the appropriate taco authorities as we continue our investigation with them. Again we would like to assure the public that there will be ample tacos, 4 buck margaritas, and other Mexican delight available for purchase at 123 Pleasant St. on May 5.

Muchos Gracias

Hey everyone,

I’m a current med student at WVU SOM who applied as a nontraditional student without any family in medicine. Another student suggested I hop on here to offer some help to anyone currently in the pre-med grind.

I know firsthand how frustrating and convoluted the application process is, especially if you aren't coming straight from undergrad. If you're feeling stuck on your application, trying to figure out clinical hours in the area, or just want a realistic look at what med school is actually like, feel free to reach out.

No fluff, paid course I'm peddling or "perfect student" advice here. Just wanted to give back to the community by providing feedback on what has worked for me and how to navigate the hurdles.

Drop a comment or shoot me a DM if you want to chat.

Hey! I wanted to share a local event for anyone into anime, manga, or gaming.

I run Otaku Appalachia — it’s a free monthly meetup in the Morgantown area focused on just hanging out, playing games, and meeting people with similar interests. It’s pretty low-key and beginner-friendly (You definitely don’t have to be super deep into anime to come).

Our next meetup is Saturday, May 9, 1:00–4:00 PM at 201 New Jersey St., Westover, WV (behind the Family Dollar at the Triangle)

What we’ll have:

Video games (we usually feature two per event)

Board games & card games

Manga lounge

Local artist w/merch table

Live demo from Black Bear Historical Fencing

Trading card game demo with Soulmasters TCG

Our first event had about 30 people show up and everyone was respectful and welcoming, so we’re hoping to keep that vibe going.

It’s totally free — just trying to build more of a community around this kind of stuff in north central WV.

If you’ve been looking for something like this locally, feel free to come by. We’d love to have you.

I've been doing research on the nursing program at WVU. All I have found are rather negative reviews regarding work load and classes designed to weed people out like chem. With that being said, most of the reviews are 3-5 years old. I would love to get the perspective of current nursing students.

FYSA I am an older student who will around 31 when I enroll. I think I currently have like 50 or 60 random credits towards a BS for cybersecurity I worked on while in the military. Does anyone know if this will work for direct admit into the nursing program? I didn't find a list of requirements on the WVU nursing website. or maybe im stupid and didn't find it who knows!

Hello! I will be bringing my car down for the next couple days. I was wondering if there was anywhere that I could park for cheap on campus? I live on Evansdale but I don’t mind parking downtown.

Hi, all. I had a terrible semester (lots of family deaths and cancer) and my gpa is probably going to end up being a 2.0-2.3ish. I’ve taken about a years worth of classes, but my gpa in highschool and my test scores were good. Has anyone transferred in with a college gpa like mine? Should I reach out to them and explain my situation, or would that just make things worse?

Hey, I have the OCHEM 2 final tomorrow and I have an 83% in class. I really want to keep a B and have been studying hard, but I wanted to see if anyone who was in the section that took it yesterday or someone that took it last year could offer any advice or tips for Dr. Osbourns final. It feels weird that we do everything online then suddenly switch to a paper final. Anything would be appreciated

coming to WVU for an REU this summer, i have so many questions

hey everyone! i will be starting my summer REU in WVU on the 18th (super excited!) and this will be my first time in WVU (and the state of West Virginia overall). i haven't gotten a whole lot of information on my living situation however, apart from the fact that i will be living in Brooke Tower in a double room, and i will get a stipend + $250 for travel & meals, but would need to provide my own meals otherwise.

currently my main concern is food. does Brooke Tower have a communal fridge, kitchen, or microwaves in case i want to cook every once in a while or even just make instant noodles. also, are there a whole lot of vegetarian options on/around campus? i am vegetarian so that always concerns me a bit.

in general i'm also wondering what facilities i would be given access to. i'm hoping to work on a personal project over the summer so i would like to use any makerspaces there if that is at all possible, in addition to general places like the gym, library etc. also will there be shuttle buses reliably operating during the summer?

finally i would love any recommendations for things to do on/around campus while i'm there for the next 10 weeks!!

I have a question

When retaking a class during the summer that you failed and you end up passing the class and getting a significantly better grade does the grade you end up getting over the summer improve your term GPA from the spring or fall depending on when you failed the class?

Evensdale vs Nightlife

So, I’m an incoming freashie and I’m living in Oakland hall in the fall, and from what i’ve seen online it looks pretty isolated from nightlife and the collage scene. So do people just commute from Evens dale to downtown and back, and vise versa? Is there anything that really happens in Evens dale?

Level 1 grade appeal *HELP*

hey y’all, i’m a second semester senior mechanical engineering student (literally about to graduate on sunday!).

i received my final grades on monday and saw that i failed a class. throughout the entire semester i could only see my homework and quiz grades on ecampus. there were 2 exams and a final alongside these quizzes and homeworks. i only ever received exam 2 back, but it was in my student mailbox and never on ecampus.

I NEVER RECEIVED MY EXAM 1 GRADE TO THIS DAY PHYSICALLY OR VIRTUALLY.

anyway, i submitted a level 1 grade appeal because my grades were never transparent. i would have gone for help and submitted extra credit assignments if i had known my true grade, but from my point of view, i was doing quite well in the class with an A average on homework and a B average on quizzes. my exam 2 was an 80. i was blindsided by my final failing grade and i am panicked because i have a job lined up in a different state with a lease already signed!!! wvu will not let me take this credit elsewhere due to the transient credit policy and they don’t offer it over the summer so i would have to take it in the fall????? they already denied my level 1 appeal because the professor of the class said he abided by all the “tenets of grading” when the FIRST tenent is literally “correct and consistent grading and entering grades”.

someone please help or give me advice, i am so stressed.

edit: forgot to say im 0.7% away from a passing grade.
