Longwood University

I just finished my first semester and I learned a lot. At first it was a little over-whelming, but after a couple of weeks the work load got easier. The teachers expect a lot but they are there to help you during their office hours if you need help. The information learned will deffinently come in handy with my major (Liberal Studies:Elementary & Middle Education). Sometimes the work can seem a little ridiculous, but the teachers just want you to be educated, especially with your intended major.

The professors here at Longwood are always prepared for class and stimulate thinking everyday. Whether it is a class you are interested in or not, going to class is never a waste of time. Professors are always available and some even go as far as giving you their home and/or cell phone numbers for you to be able to contact them. It is impossible to avoid learning at Longwood.

The teachers here at Longwood expect a lot from their students. Especially those in your intended major. They are very smart and have a lot to offer in the classroom.

I have to say I learned more in my first semester at Longwood than my entire four years in high school. The teachers spend one on one time with you making sure that you understand the criteria. The information taught is applied to everyday life; in other words you feel like you actually use what you learn.

Longwood is literally the best college around. I am so glad I attended LU and now I have a great networking base! The town is great, the professors are amazing, and the school itself creates a great environment in which to grow and learn.

Those who come to Longwood expecting an easy ride beware! Despite its reputation as a school for education majors only that almost everyone can get into, the quality of Longwood's faculty and classes is fantastic. My class sizes are always small, ranging from as few a nine people up to about thirty five. Additionally, the professors are extremely accessible and are ALWAYS willing to help and offer advice, but still challenge you. Because of the small class sizes, professors have more opportunities to do field work. Class trips that I have been on included working on an actual archeological dig for my archeology class, and taking a trip to a national park to discuss Virginia wildlife.

Longwood is an excellent institution. The professors are incredibly helpful and encouraging. If you are ever in need of assistance, you can stop by your professors office or speak with them after class and they are more than willing to give you advice and help with your problems. The learning is not limited to just the classroom. The professors will move class to different campus locations so that you can better understand the topics. The innovative way of teaching at Longwood fully encourages students to go beyond the classroom and really learn a lot.

Super homey campus, its a pleasure to be here. I love knowing everyone, and having a personal relationship with my professors. The lancer spirit can be felt throughout the campus.

The classroom size of this school requires more individual learning and the teachers are easier and more accessible for help. I am a music major and the teachers in the department are very experienced and great teachers and all the teachers who teach me have doctorates.

The small college experience makes it much easier to learn. I know all the professors in my department very well and am able to go to them with any questions I may have. The class sizes are small so I get the attention I need and I know my classmates really well. I also learn so much outside the classroom. Longwood offers so many ways to get involved. My involvement in different organizations has taught me valuable skills that I will be able to take with me for the rest of my life.
