Thankfully, Morgantown has all sorts of locations where students can rent or buy movies and video games to help fight off the monotony.
On the downtown campus, there are two such places, Vintage Video and Games and The Warner Theatre.
Vintage Video and Games is a used games and movie store located at the end of High Street that is open from 11 a.m to 5 p.m.
Students can purchase used DVDs and VHS with a 30-day return policy should they not work.
It also sells games for new systems like the Xbox 360 and Wii, as well as older systems like the Sega Genesis and Nintendo Entertainment System.
The Warner Theater is a piece of Morgantown history, dating back to 1931.
Shows start at the theatre around 6 p.m. every night, with tickets at $5 each.
The Warner usually shows more independent films, although it will get Hollywood Blockbusters shortly after the major movie complexes.
It also hosts various special events such as the Rocky Horror Picture Show being shown on the third Saturday of every month.
For those wanting to rent a movie, Blockbuster on Evansdale offers a vast selection, with varying prices depending on their release date.
Blockbuster also has three kiosks at Sheetz gas stations across the city, with $1 rentals. Though many
