Norfolk State University is low cost and has numerous programs to help students. It is located in a ghetto neighborhood but once you get on campus, you will be fine. As with any school, you get out of it what you put into it.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Check your university email daily because there is lots of useful information from scholarships to internship opportunities. Enjoy the extracurricular activities there--school is a whole experience, not just books.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
It all depends upon the teacher really. A lot of people have this stereotype of Norfolk State as being an Easy Pass school. This is not necessarily so. And you do get out of it what you put into it.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
I only stayed in a dorm for one semester. It was okay. Dorm life is dorm life. Living with a whole lot of other people is not going to be easy. I don't care what school you go to.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
There are lots of dining options. Be careful in the cafeteria though. The food is excellent and is all you can eat so you may overeat.

Norfolk State University is conveniently located to public transportation so you can go to the mall and the movies.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
The price is very low...the lowest in Hampton Roads for a four year college. There's no use going to some fancy school and ending up up to your eyeballs in debt upon graduation. You get out of it what you put into it anyway. Try Norfolk State.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Those who are frugal and trying to save a buck!
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
It is located in a ghetto neighborhood but the campus itself is fine and is patrolled by the police.
