The University of Charleston has been ranked the Best College in West Virginia by Niche for 2026, and we’re the only private school in the top ten.

A HUGE shoutout to our UC community for making this recognition possible! #UCWV #YouBelongHere by @ucwv

At the University of Charleston, we want you to explore beyond the classroom and learn about this amazing world around you. But for many students, the first question is always: ‘Where do we go?’ 🤨

That’s why we created the UC Adventure Guide — your insider’s pass to hidden corners, local favorites, and breathtaking adventures you didn’t even know were just minutes away. Think of it as your personal trip planner that’s packed with a campus bucket list, must-visit spots in Charleston, and 60 unforgettable experiences within 60 miles of campus. 🗺️📍

From catching a sunset at the New River Gorge to sipping coffee in Taylor Books on a quiet morning , this is your map to memories. Laughs on the lawn, spontaneous waterfall chases — these are the moments you’ll talk about at reunions years from now.

Whether you’ve lived here forever or just unpacked your first box in the dorms, there’s a whole world waiting. So get out there and explore Almost Heaven — because your adventure starts here at the University of Charleston! ❤️💛 taken in University of Charleston by @ucwv

Think you can spot Cappy? 👀

If you’ve been following the UC Marathon, you may have noticed a familiar little figure popping up here and there — That’s Cappy!

Cappy is quickly becoming part of the personality behind race weekend, and for this throwback, our favorite marathon mascot managed to sneak into every photo.

How many did you find? Let us know your count in the comments! 🏃 taken in Charleston, West Virginia by @ucwv

That’s a wrap on our final SOAR on campus this year! We loved welcoming our newest Golden Eagles as they explored campus, connected with future classmates, and got a taste of life at UC. We can’t wait to see everyone back this fall. Welcome to the Golden Eagle family! 🦅 taken in University of Charleston by @ucwv

This week, our inaugural Doctor of Physical Therapy cohort is on campus for their first two-week immersive lab experience, and we love having them on campus!

As part of our hybrid program, students have traveled to UC from across the country to learn alongside faculty and classmates while developing hands-on clinical skills in our newly renovated Morrison Center.

After completing the immersive lab experience, they’ll continue their coursework from home before returning to campus for future labs.

With small class sizes, personalized instruction, and exceptional facilities, our program is preparing the next generation of physical therapists to serve Greater Appalachia and communities across the country. taken in University of Charleston by @ucwv

Here in West Virginia, we love seeing Team USA (and the rest of the world) adopt “Take Me Home, Country Roads” as an anthem for the World Cup ⚽️

It even holds special meaning for some of our international players. In this video, Caio Moraes, Samuel Montes, and Eduardo Rodrigues share what the song means to them.

We love that the world keeps shining a bright light on our amazing state! 🏆
