Beckley seems to be a nice place. People are nice. It is a very safe place. There was only one police officer  shot to death (last year) in last 32 years since 1975. It is rare in US.

It lies at a right place for example 600 miles to NY, 600 miles to Florida, 600 miles to Chicago, 600 miles to Detroit, and 300 miles to DC. Weather is always cool that is less than 90F. Recently it has become a town of about 250 young Nepalese students. Former Nepalese students who graduated from this university, are now working large banks like BOA, big companies like IBM, and others have joined big universities like Syracuse, BYU, OK, Texas for further studies. I am also hoping to follow their foot steps. I am satisfied very well with the envi here.  

Those who transferred to other colleges like Norther Virginia Community College are returning back to this university, again. There are about 15 Nepalese Graduate students in various fields like Nursing and Pharmacy, and some of them have already passed the certification exams, and are getting good job offers.

Tuition fee is reasonable. All graduate students get in campus GA, and they are making almost $1000 every month. Majority of students buy cars in groups within a couple of months of arrival here. Driving late night is safe. The living cost is very low, and univ is within a walking distance. Since this is a small town, every body knows every one in the town. People are friendly. What else do you want?
