My name is AaRon Leaveah James Jr and I attended Chowan this past school year and I can honestly say that it’s not really a big school but you will get a great experience. Finishing my freshman year I made so many friends that I can call family and made so many memories. I will be a sophomore coming into the 2022-2023 year and I’m so excited to see what this year has in store in for me, I’m currently on the basketball team and I play point guard for the D2 team and Coach Burke is a great coach. The classes are small so you could get a one on one session with your professors and if you need any help they’re willing to give you that extra help, it’s really a family environment and atmosphere at Chowan University. Whoever may be reading this, if you’re looking for a college, Chowan is the place to be!
I like Chowan University for many reasons. For one, I have met many good friends that I can treasure for the rest of my life. Secondly, the faculty and staff care about your well-being, doing their best to understand circumstances and make learning more engaging in class. Lastly, there have been many opportunities given through the college that I would not have experienced otherwise, like presenting at Duke University or going to the Holy Lands.
For the changes, my experience, although beneficial in many ways, has also brought challenges. It can often feel toxic for anyone that disagrees with the teachers politically. In fact, often the classes make discussion difficult because only certain views are tolerated or valued. Often these experiences have impacted my willingness to participate and self-confidence negatively. The people who work there care for the students and are passionate about their jobs, but the surrounding environment needs to feel more open to different perspectives.

I went to Chowan University about 360 miles from my home. The reason for coming to Chowan was for soccer and the family environment on campus! The town is small however, the residence of Murfreesboro wants you to feel like a second home! Chowan University allows me to meet the best and truly nicest people you will ever meet! The staff and professors want to help you whenever you need help right away from classes to your future after Chowan University! I am proud to be apart of the Hawks family.
