Review of Longwood University

from Leesburg, VA

Describe your college in three sentences.

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.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

If possible minimize trips to dining hall, It's good at first then...not so much. Take the time to visit your professors in their office hours, it pays off when they recommend you for various positions in campus life. Attend all the social functions held by Lancer Productions, you'll get to meet a ton of cool people.

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

It all depends on how hard you wan to push yourself.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

It all depends on were you are put, some dorms are way better than others.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

The dining hall is good in moderation, but it's the on campus food that is the best ie. Moes, Subway, and Starbucks.

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

Buffalo Shuffle, meaning go up and down Buffalo street and party in the greek houses. Attend campus wide events. Go to the movies at Sun chase.

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

It is worth it if you are from Virginia, instate tuition is comparatively better to out of state. I didn't go to VT because LU was cheeper, and I'm glad I came because i'm getting the same education as my friends at Tech.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

Color Wars, and Chi Walks are famous at Longwood. Color Wars is a campus wide event were we all gather in a large field and throw paint at each other based on what class you are. It is a ton of fun and you get cool mementos with your splattered cloths. Chi Walks are done by the secret organization of Chi where they robe up and walk late at night in a mysterious chanting fashion.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

It is great for students who don't need to be pushed to be social as well as those who are going into the education program.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

I'm personally in nine different organizations and I feel like they really keep you in the loop of campus life, and contribute to your overall college experience.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

Greek Life is incredible here at Longwood, letters litter the campus and are a huge part of what it means to be a lancer.

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

Campus Safety is a nonissue. There are tons of blue lights around campus that call campus patrol, and they rome campus all the time regardless of being called into action.
