Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
Longwood is amazing! There is so much to do on campus. Sorority and Fraternity life is huge here and though I did not pledge, the sororities and fraternities have events that are for everyone and not just themselves. There are so many clubs and organizations to become a part of. The town is small but the weekends have their options for a great time too!
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Longwood offers their students so many free events. Of course, tuition pays for most of them so they are not free but the university provides a lot of entertainment, from live concerts, movie showings, and plays to sports events, readings/speeches, and shows. There is a brand new student gym that has the finest equipment. Campus and off-campus life is great - being here is great. The extremely knowledgeable professors definitely are worth dollars spent as well.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Get over learning for the grade. There is more to school, and especially college, than just a grade. College is about preparing yourself to be a professional. The knowledge you attain in school is worthwhile, especially in college. You will need this knowledge.... yes, strive for perfection but if you do not get there understand why and learn from it!
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Longwood is the perfect place for students that love to be involved in a tight-knit, welcoming, friendly community. If you enjoy small classes with complete access to your professor - Longwood is the place for you. If you like being invisible, inactive, on your own, and just that kid in the back of the class - Longwood is not for you. However, all are welcome, everyone is extremely friendly here! The cliques that exist in high school do not exist here so do not bring your biased opinion of stereotypes!
