Cindy's Review

Review of Christopher Newport University

from Virginia Beach, VA

Describe your college in three sentences.

cnu is a very inviting and unique school. the friendly environment welcomes every student and visitor with open arms. the campus is gorgeous and the professors are superb!

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

some tips would be to read the various chapters in the textbook as the professor is teaching the lesson because it will allow the student to better understand what is going on in the class.

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

cnu's academics challenges its students. however, the professors are very understanding when it comes to extra curricular activities so the work load is pretty manageable.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

the dorms are a bit small, however, it is not a big issue. hall mates are very understanding of each other's schedule times so when quiet hours are in session, there is little noise.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

the food here is absolutely fantastic! however, the only bad part is that students are only allowed one meal swipe per meal time even though the student may have 3 swipes per day. if the card is not swiped once for each mean, it is lost for ever.

What’s there to do for fun at your college?

there is an amazing array of activities for students to take part in. for example, i am in santoro hall council as well as the mixed martial arts team.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

cnu is very expensive. however, the quality of education as well as the beautiful scenery is very well worth every dollar!

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

cnu has what we call a 'blue crew' which is present at all sport games in order to show our cnu's spirit and pride.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

cnu is great for all students. no exceptions.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

clubs like martial arts club, coloring club, as well as hall council allows more introverted students, like myself, feel more in touch with the school.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

there are many sororities and fraternities here at cnu. each are welcoming, although they do not interest me very much.

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?

cnu is very very safe! all students are respectful of each other's belongings and there are campus police vehicles around at all times.
