Regent was a personal fit, offering the degree and training that is compatible with my needs. The campus is large, landscaped well, safe and in a great location in Virginia Beach. There is plenty of room to walk around in the green grass and to enjoy a relaxing sit. An overall wonderful place to spend time. The teachers seem knowledgeable, helpful and polite. Generally, the degrees are a combination of general ed classes, cores classes and required religion classes.The campus is peaceful, safe and in a great location. It is in Virginia Beach. Not far from the beach, restaurants, etc. Their library is three stories tall with wall-to-wall books and the communications building is very impressive. The communications building features two movie theater style screening rooms and two theater stages. After visiting the campus and interacting with the staff, I have the utmost respect and appreciation for this University. I highly recommend this school for the education and ease of the process!

Choosing to attend Regent University was one of the best decisions of my life! The close-knit Christ-centered community on campus is like nothing I've ever experienced. Regent is small enough that its easy to get to know almost everyone on campus. The students and faculty here are far nicer and more personable than anywhere else I've been before. I also really appreciate that all the classes are taught from a Bible Worldview. Regent is one of the only colleges in America that is solidly conservative (both theologically and politically) and yet not overly legalist or political. Regent is also far less strict than most other conservative Christian Colleges. However, the vast majority of students at Regent are genuine Christians and it is evident in the way they act. There are (surprisingly) very few students that regularly use drugs, alcohol or even profanity. It is obvious that almost everyone at Regent chose to go there because they wanted a Christ-centered education.

Regent University is an excellent school for someone who prefers to take courses online. Unfortunately, I have learned it the hard way! It is not for me! It took me a very long time to realize that online learning was not for me! At first, I thought that those instructors were there to teach me by engaging in the discussion questions so that I could understand! Nope! I am going to another school that has in-person learning to obtain my masters degree! Never again will I do online work because the minute I procrastinate on an assignment and start falling behind, it’s hard for me to stay on task! Although I take full responsibility for my actions and that it was my doing for choosing Regent University, I am doing myself a favor by going to an in-person school where there is more support! Do your research before you complain! Online work is hard work! Money gets wasted when most online professors do not teach you lessons, and you don’t learn anything except to flunk out of school!
