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.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
Farmville is small. There is no changing that fact. However, Longwood makes up for its relatively isolated location with school sponsored, free, activities, parties, and concerts every single weekend. Literally. Additionally, greek life is pretty active on campus, giving both members and non-members things to do every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday night.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Longwood is a Virginia Public University, with fantastic in-state tuition costs. They also have TONS of scholarships available for students.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
The #1 most important thing to do at Longwood is to get involved. Whether its a club sports team, the newspaper. the radio station, greek life, student government, or an honor society, there is something for everyone. Being involved in those types of groups will help introduce you to people who will be your best friends for life.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Great for the student who wants to be more than just a number.
