What We Do

WVU has over 2,300 international students, representing 110 countries. The WVU International HomeStart Closet provides first time international students moving to Morgantown with care packages that are useful in starting a home. Although it is not the intent to meet all the needs, basic household necessities are often available. Items might include sheets, towels, blankets, pillows, dishes, flatware, glasses, mugs, kettles, pots, pans, skillets, microwaves, coffee makers and rice cookers. Large furniture items are occasionally available.
