Sophomore: My experience at ECPI University has been very positive! I was apprehensive at first however ECPI has a great program, before you know it you’re already a few semesters in. I really like the flexibility of the schedule, I’m able to do my assignments 24/7. The due dates of each assignment are really manageable as well. Something I would like to see some improvement on is access to tutors, although I’m an online student there have been times where I’ve had to teach myself material.... Read 1,300 reviews

Junior: So far everything has been great! I love how they offer so much for the students to keep them busy with groups and extra activities, volunteer opportunities, programs to help with leadership growth, there is something for everyone! The events are fun and engaging as well! Not to mention the SWAG! Diversity and inclusion must have been invented here! Plenty of dining variety on campus and nearby as well. Safe campus environment, small urban city with plenty of historical local landmarks nearby. I love all my classes! I only wish that the catalog would not show classes that are not available!...

Alum: A majority of my classes were remote or online. This provided me the flexibility to participate in NJCAA sports and obtain my associate degree. Class sizes were good, and all college staff were very helpful. I am finding that not all of my credits transfer to every 4-year school, so you have to ask questions about the classes you are taking and what your next step plans are.... Read 133 reviews

Sophomore: Regent University exceeded my expectations with the content in the online biblical courses that was so insightful, and detailed surrounding the time that the Bible was actually written. I enjoyed the interactions with professors and my classmates. Overall Regent has the best online experience as navigating blackboard was easy, and communication tools were very effective! My professors usually responded the same day or the next day with answers to my questions. I absolutely loved the online courses at Regent. Also, my counselor often checked in to see how I was doing, to let me know if there was something they needed, and to let me know when I could choose more classes, unusually nice of them. Lastly, next semester I will be taking courses on campus in which I am looking forward to engaging. Regent University was a great choice of schools, and I am humbled by the experience thus far. I know that the campus will provide rich memories for my collegiate experience.... Read 1,016 reviews

Freshman: I enjoyed Hampton! One of the things I liked about Hampton would be the scenery, it is a beautiful clean campus. Another thing I liked about Hampton would be how efficient the staff was, they are very quick with their work and almost always have an answer to which they deliver in a clear concise manner. I also liked the social scene as there were always activities and clubs I could participate in no matter the time. With all the things I did like there are things I would like to change. One of the things I would like to change would be the lunchroom food, the food is not the best and they did have good food Fall semester of 2022. Another thing I would like to see change would be the cleanliness of the dorms, more so the dorm I stayed in which was Harkness Hall. The dorm is not unsanitary however there are times when it comes close to reaching that point. Other than the two things I would like to see change I did enjoy my time at Hampton and do plan on going back for my Sophomore year.... Read 2,142 reviews

Freshman: It has been a wonderful experience attending Tidewater Community College. The instructors are communicative, inspiring and passionate. I couldn't have asked for a better experience going into college after ten years of waiting! As long as you communicate well with the administration office, things will go smoothly regarding to enrollment. As a person that likes to get things done quickly, I was impressed how they managed to respond to my questions and concerns.... Read 1,586 reviews

Senior: My overall experience at Norfolk State University (NSU) has been nothing short of amazing. My professors continually push me to my limits and make me think outside of the box. My sociology professors have helped me see the bigger picture by challenging my thought process, and my psychology professors have assisted me with learning to see people for more than what I see on the physical exterior of others. If there was one thing I would like to see change at the university, it would be more inclusiveness for nontraditional and commuter students.... Read 1,547 reviews

Freshman: My experience touring and meeting the staff, students and Teachers at Virginia peninsula was empowering. The Administration staff was more than helpful and friendly when asking questions about enrollment, helped a lot of students fill out their schedules on over crowded days. Interacting with other students felt like great opportunity to become more involved with the school. As I was meeting more people, the more information on how the school works, tours, group meetings for studying and other social groups. Overall Virginia Peninsula community college interactional school and I will recommend to upcoming seniors and others.... Read 558 reviews

Senior: It is a fast program. It has its ups and down but you have to be very attentive and make sure you have the time. Working a full time job would not be durable with this school since you will be in school 7 days a week at some point. Weekends there will also be clinicals.... Read 73 reviews

College Senior: The experience at the CSPN is welcoming and eager to work with any and all students to ensure that all students graduate on time and succeed on passing the NCLEX-PN exam that follows after graduation. What is unique about the school is that the course can be taken as early as your senior year of high school and the tuition is reasonable without too much feeling like your pockets are blown to pieces. For any students who are interested in the program, I would recommend this program (and even re-do the program) because it's an opportunity that may never come back around, despite having other nursing programs that have the same intentions....
