This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at WVU chapter.

Morgantown is a lovely city to live in when Valentine’s Day comes around.  There are plenty of chain and locally own restaurants to choose from, other cities just a short drive away, and plenty of options for every couple!  So no matter what you and your love are into, there are plenty of options to make sure you both have a wonderful night!

 

For the Adventurous Couple: Day Trip

If you want to spend the day together wandering around somewhere new, then take a day trip!  Pittsburgh is just a short drive away!  For those of you who want to get away from the city, Blackwater Falls is under two hours away from Morgantown.  Either of these options will create a fantastic day.

 

For the Traditional Couple: Dinner Night Out

There are countless of delicious restaurants to choose from no matter what you’re craving.  From chain restaurants like Olive Garden and the Boston Beanery to locally owned restaurants such as Black Bear Burritos, you can basically go wherever you want- almost all in a walking distance!  Plus, there are so many great places to stop for dessert. 

 

For the Romantic Couple: Candlelight Dinner

Take staying in to a romantic level by cooking dinner together amongst a roomful of candles.  Turn on soft music and finish the meal by dancing if you’re up for it. 

 

For the Lazy Couple: Movie Night

Life in Morgantown is hectic.  There’s school, work, internships, and always something to celebrate.  For the couple that never gets to have a night in, change it up by renting a movie and ordering pizza.
