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.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
I love Longwood and I love being in Farmville. Farmville is a small town and there may not be much to do, but there is plenty to do on campus. While walking through the town down Main Street, the people of the town are so friendly and everyone talks to everyone. It definitely is a small school and a small town, but that's why I love it.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
While the tuition may be rather expensive, it is worth it. The teachers are very qualified and want to see you succeed in your major. Aside from the professors, the buildings are nice and the rooms are bigger than most normal dorms. They are also doing a lot of renevations to the whole campus and the buildings are a lot nicer. The food in the Dining Hall may not always be the greatest, but there are many options for every meal and you can get as much as you want.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Make sure that you do your homework and work as soon as you can because it can add up real quick. Get involved with different clubs and organizations or sports; you will love the school even more and you will meet lots of people. Also, look into Greek life, even though Freshman can't rush until their spring semester, go to open houses and get a feel for each sorority or fraternity. You will meet lots of people there, whether you rush or not. Also, go to class! Teachers will notice whether you are there or not and you can't pass a class if you don't go to class.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
If you love small towns and small schools, Longwood is the school to go to. I always thought that I wanted to go to a big school, but once I looked at Longwood, I loved it. The classes are small so there's a lot of one on one attention between the teachers and students. Everyone in the town is friendly and with Longwood being a smaller school, you meet a lot of people.
