Review of Longwood University

from Norfolk, VA

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

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.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

I absolutely love Longwood and the town of Farmville. Even though its small the college and surrounding community have so much to offer. There are free events on campus every day so between those, my classes and the organizations I'm involved in, there's never a dull moment. The people in the Farmville community are very welcoming to students and the town is beautiful.

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

The experience of being here is worth every penny. Longwood is a state school and it is reasonably priced. If you need assistance there are many scholarships and work opportunities available to students.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Don't underestimate a small school. I had never heard of Longwood until my senior year of high school and when I decided to apply, it was really just my fall back school. However when I had to make a decision I went with Longwood and I have never been happier! If there is a school that you are thinking about really talk to people about it. You might be surprised by what you hear.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Longwood is great for students who want to feel like a part of something. It really is a family environment so you are going to be noticed. We have wonderful traditions and so many opportunities to get involved.
