Alum: Overall, great education with some mishaps due to COVID and online learning. Positive atmosphere, very inclusive. I would like to see a change in how the grading system is designed - a-lot of my classes (mostly STEM) allowed students to fail and then curved everyones grades and I would rather the material be taught correctly and more comprehensively and have no curve needed at all. Loved the liberal arts classes I got to take! Lots of engaging discussions. The grounds around campus are absolutely beautiful and very well kept. There are tons of amazing places to study and relax.... Read 2,376 reviews

Other: Washington and Lee University (W&L) is truly one of the premier liberal arts colleges in the U.S. Niche ranks W&L higher than the famous northeast liberal arts colleges! Most notably, Washington Monthly ranks W&L as the 4th best liberal arts college - AHEAD of even Swarthmore, Williams, Amherst, etc.! Why? The personal attention students receive at W&L is actually incredible. To that, the training students receive is among the best in the world, combining an emphasis on leadership and community with elite academics. From this, W&L's shockingly powerful and close-knit alumni network is also incredible. W&L infamous Greek scene is also coming into a new age. The school is diversifying its student population in a fair, inclusive manner, which is loosening the dominance of Greek life, while broadening its social scene. Take a look at the schools leadership team to understand how and why. They're modernizing, while preserving the positive aspects of W&L's distinct student life.... Read 464 reviews

Sophomore: Virginia Commonwealth University has been an adventure as a campus and university to learn under. The main aspects that differentiate VCU from most other universities in Virginia are the urban landscape, art forward movement, and the progressiveness of the university itself. I like the arty feel of the campus and university and I feel much more comfortable in this urban setting rather than the rural campuses like UVA. The campus can be accessed easily and is also very walkable. The main issues are the traffic and homeless people, but I don't find it much as a problem if you plan ahead, are generally cognizant, and kind. The programs and classes are exciting and not too unbearable. Though, I am a bit biased because my major is in psychology and I was not able to take most of the General Education classes due to my pre-existing credits. The professors are also generally great. A select few are unlikable to all and there are many instructors that cater to different learning styles.... Read 4,666 reviews

Freshman: Although my experience with George Mason University is still relatively early on, I can attest that GMU has thorough communication from not only their website, but with the academic advisor. The website is easy to navigate and inviting. We also have visited the campus on several occasions for a spring orientation and then the main freshman orientation event. Both orientation sessions were very organized from the beginning with what to expect before arriving until the completion of the event. During the orientation, we had the pleasure of meeting faculty and students who truly enjoyed their job of welcoming us to the university. We enjoyed the tour of the campus, housing and dining areas. All of the dining halls provided exceptional food variety and can say everything we ate was delicious! GMU has been provided us with nothing but stellar experiences despite the challenges of the ever changing post pandemic lifestyle on campus.... Read 4,937 reviews

Sophomore: Eastern Mennonite University is a small liberal arts school, and most of its strengths and challenges come from this title. I have had a wonderful time interacting with professors and scheduling meetings 1-on-1 to talk about assignments and life in general. The opportunities to get involved in clubs and extracurriculars are extensive, and I have felt a general openness and optimism towards new ideas on campus. EMU's Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion committee works very hard to listen to each other's needs and the needs of campus. Grants are distributed to students who want to make a difference, and present their proposals to the committee. Funding is a struggle at EMU, however. Because of its religious background, many alum donating money to the school are religious and sometimes unsupportive of the more progressive ideas and programs that are being put in place. There is also simply a smaller group of donors than a larger school, and so upkeep of older buildings is not maintained.... Read 358 reviews

Freshman: The faculty at PVCC are entirely dedicated to helping students progress through their coursework and into the fields of choice. As a returning student, I learned this as I tried to navigate the changes that schools had undergone since my last attendance, from online learning to the grading system. At any point, if I had a question, someone was available to answer or would point me in the right direction. This included the professors, who clearly go above and beyond to help in any way they can. I'm very happy that here is where I will begin the next stage of my career.... Read 255 reviews

Senior: This university has a beautiful campus and solid programs that strive to teach and promote curiousity and success. Overall, my experience at Radford has been positive and one that will help influence my life and career decisions. However, there are specific changes that I would reccomend for the future: the housing process, safety on campus, and being heard by the people in charge. The housing process has a few too many hoops to jump through and getting a desirable placement is almost impossible. Furthermore, issues with roommates or suitemates are never handled correctly as a result of RA and RD incompetence. On campus, safety is felt throughout, but a lack of information in unsafe situations leaves everyone with too many questions than answers. The people in positions of power in this campus do a great deal to be accessable, but do not take the suggestions or complaints given to heart. Not enough to instill a feeling of satisfaction in those who have genuine problems.... Read 1,646 reviews

Alum: Best community college ever! Saved a lot of money and most professors are sweethearts. I loved classes in person prior to COVID, after COVID I stuck with online courses. Alexandria Campus has lot of spots you can study other than the library. Extremely diverse, loved having classes with different people all ages. Most professors genuinely care for the wellbeing of their students. Admin could do a lot better, wouldn't trust advisors too much.

One area that I would like to see a change in is the peer tutoring department.

Freshman: Southwest Virginia Community College was a GREAT choice for me. Coming out of Highschool, Southwest helped me to figure out the college life with ease. My Junior and Senior year of high school was greatly affected by COVID19. This caused me to be online while trying to finish high school. I feel like due to this, it took away from a lot of the learning experience that I needed to help me be prepared for college. All of the important classes, the meetings with college representatives, and more. Southwest was a great help and very understanding to all my needs. They were very easy to work with. My first year of college was an excellent experience at Southwest!... Read 196 reviews

Senior: So far, VSU has given me the best experience I could ask for. I am a rising senior and because of VSU I was able to excel in my course, join wonderful organizations, and meet wonderful people. Due to COVID-19, it was a hard time in the beginning of the pandemic for everyone, especially me. But, Virginia State University, provided safe counselling for their students, safe activity's we could do on and off campus, and still provide the best education virtually at the time. This school has given me every opportunity any college student or future college student they could ask for. I recommend this school for everyone!... Read 1,333 reviews

The academic curriculum is in a wide variety of choices. The students have options to fill other dreams and the opportunities to thrive to the highest level of education with all the support and encouragement. If there needs to be a change, I would say to build a specific lab for cybersecurity students so they can have the chance to further their knowledge not only in class but also in real life....

Graduate Student: I loved the small class sizes and the interaction between me and the professors. I made so many new friendships that I never thought would last so long or have so much meaning to me since the friends I had in high school. I got in through their two year tuition-free college program known as ACCE, which is available to those who lived in the areas listed on their website. Even when I technically finished all the credits required to graduate, they still helped me with my credits for my major for when I transfer to Radford University. The professors I got to have conversations with were some of the nicest, most helpful professors I have had. I am thankful for having to graduate this academic year, and to finish one more Summer semester before I transfer. I cannot give any honest evaluation about campus, athletics, or student life since I was online the whole time, but overall, New River is a huge recommendation from me if one wants to start at community college....

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 2,137 reviews
