BUCKHANNON, West Virginia  –  West Virginia Wesleyan College has extended a special on-campus room discount to full-time enrolled students from Harrison County.  Beginning with the 2026-27 academic year, West Virginia Wesleyan College will add Harrison County students to the list of full-time students from Barbour, Lewis, Randolph and Upshur who have on-campus room costs reduced by $2,000 a year.  

The rate reduction will be honored for all campus housing choices for the length of time a student is enrolled at WVWC.

Vice President for Enrollment and Marketing, John Waltz ‘01, said:   “By removing the variables of students needing to find an apartment and deal with monthly utilities and groceries we help families control costs, and we ensure a more stable learning and living environment where young people can both enjoy themselves and focus on academic and extracurricular success. Lots of students and their families already see the value in this type of experience and we are especially excited to extend this benefit to the excellent students of Harrison County this year.”  

The announcement comes on the heels of the College’s newest ranking from U.S. News and World Report. WVWC is No. 2 for Best Value Colleges. 

WVWC will host two Fall Open Houses, Oct. 25 and Nov. 8.  Register at www.wvwc.edu to learn more about what makes West Virginia Wesleyan College special.
