WVU is notorious for its party scene. But there are so many other things that make West Virginia University special -- especially when classes are done for the summer. It's so much easier to enjoy the area when you're not preoccupied with class. Ahead, here are 9 of the best things about living in Morgantown for the summer.

1. No traffic!!!

One of the worst things about Morgantown is the traffic. In the summer, all the students are home and no one is on the road! Which brings me to...

2. No snow-driving

Another thing that WVU is notorious for is how horrible the drivers are when it snows. If there isn't gridlock, there are definitely cars sliding downhill.

3. No snow in general

Yeah, snow can be fun. But it can also drive you nuts. If you're one of the smarter residents of Morgantown, you don't go anywhere when it snows. More cars on the road = more issues.

4. No freshmen running around the grocery stores

During the semester, this can get SO frustrating. All I need are some granola bars, but I have to fight through a crowd of freshmen to get them. Move-in week is the worst. I don't even grocery shop for the first few weeks of classes.

5. More room on public transportation

It can be nearly impossible to find a seat on the bus during the semester. Over the summer, you have your pick of seats. It's a beautiful thing.

6. No classwork

No classwork means no studying, no all-nighters, and no essays. It also means more free time.

7. No classes in general

No due dates or deadlines to worry about.

8. No schedule

You don't have any 8 A.M.s, 9 A.M.s, 10 A.M.s, or anything A.M.s. If you want to sleep until 2 in the afternoon, you do you.

9. Nature

That being said, if you want to go hiking, GO HIKING. There are tons of gorgeous places to visit around Morgantown, so take advantage of it!
