Michael from Norfolk, VA
As a freshman I am learning the real definition of time management. This is an important factor because you chose what time you want your classes to start and what time you want them to end. You don't want to pick a class and you over sleep and miss it.
Pheadra from Petersburg, VA
Chowan University is a wonderful college environment. The school is based in a close-knit community and holds those values. You will feel very welcomed here at Chowan because the student body is very diverse and accepting to all.
Ammaris from Durham, NC
Walking into Chowan University is like walking into your momma arms, feeling warm and comfortable. It is like a family environment that makes you want to stay. The anxiety I feel to start in the fall keeps growing because I know I will be at home.
The place has a lot of nature and nice outside settings.There is many animals and squirrels there.The weather is always nice and sunny but has a nice cool breeze.
Tonya from selma, NC
Chowan University is located in the historic picturesque town of Murfreesboro, NC. The campus is warm and welcoming. I can't wait to attend here in the fall.
Yevette from Murfreesboro, NC
The teachers at Chowan are very dedicated to helping their students succeed. The extended library hours during exam week and free tutoring are very helpful. There is also a writing center for those who need assistance with the various papers they will have to write.
