Clubs, Organizations, Commuter Students, and Greek Life
The Fairmont State University experience consists of academic exploration and social participation. A combination of departments provides extracurricular activities to enhance campus life. Over 80 various student organizations and clubs are available on campus. The options range from joining student government, professional and honor societies, and Greek Life to participating in intramural sports or a club or organization. Both on-campus and commuter students are kept in mind when campus life activities are organized, so every student has an opportunity to get involved.
I enjoy the atmosphere that FSU has to offer. It's a smaller campus, and it's easier to get to know people. There is a nice mix of traditional and non-traditional students, which makes the discussions in class rather interesting. On top of that, the instructors are genuinely invested in helping you complete your degree.
Falcon Center
The Falcon Center is the hub of intramural activities, and is also where club sports are organized. There are 24 sports offered, including softball, flag football, backgammon, and horseshoes.
Making the decision to study at Fairmont State is one of the best decisions I've made. My teachers have helped and encouraged me, the opportunities I've been given have sharpened my skills, and the friendships I've made will last forever.
Residence Life
Residence Life assistants plan and carry out scholarly, holiday, and just-for-fun events year round.
Fairmont State has been an awesome experience for me. When deciding on where to go to college, I wanted to keep it small and somewhere close to home. Fairmont State has been the perfect decision for me. I have been blessed with amazing, kind, and caring professors who have really made this experience great.
