What advice would you give current or prospective students?:
Take advantage of the small class sizes, join study groups and do not be afraid to talk to your professors. Also, work on campus if possible.
What was the most important thing you learned while attending Fairmont State?:
You do not have to be perfect to do well in college. Everyone makes mistakes, and as long as you can learn from them, you can still succeed. The professors at Fairmont State are wonderful; they are always willing to help and their doors are always open. When you are finished and realize how much you have learned, all the frustrations and mistakes you may have made will be outweighed by your accomplishments.
