University Apartments radio spot - April 17, 2026
Transcript
Shauna Johnson: This is West Virginia University. More than 1500 students make their homes at university apartments. Marketing specialist Mackenzie Male says that includes College Park and Vendalia downtown, University Park in Evansdale and University Place in Sunnyside.
Mackenzie Male: We are owned and operated by the university, so we offer an affordable living situation. It's very safe and secure for all of our residents, as well as students can handle all their payments through the WU portal as well.
Shauna Johnson: Open to students in their sophomore years and above, university apartments are not residence halls.
Mackenzie Male: These are apartments that are fully furnished. Utilities are included as well. We have from one bedroom to four bedroom apartments, and most apartments have their own private bathroom and laundry on site.
Shauna Johnson: Senior Elena Krause has lived at College Park for three years.
Elena Krause: My roommates and I have just had a wonderful experience living here. The maintenance is always super on top of things if we do have an issue, and it's just a great community to live in. It feels safe. It's very clean, all of the above.
Shauna Johnson: After a freshman year at Honors Hall, Krause says she and her friends did consider moving off campus.
Elena Krause: We decided to go with this one just because it's close to downtown and it was very reasonably priced compared to anywhere else.
Shauna Johnson: Find out more at universityapartments.wvu.edu.
Mackenzie Male: You have chosen to come to WU because you trust the professors and the administration, so why not trust those same people for your living situation?
Shauna Johnson: So let's go. Follow our stories at wvutoday.wvu.edu.
