Review of Radford University

from Glen Allen, VA

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

Radford University has some of the best professors I have ever encountered who teach in very inventive and interesting ways that help with retaining information, no matter what the subject is. When difficulties in a classroom occur, the LARC has fantastic tutors that take students step-by-step with material.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

Radford has such a BEAUTIFUL campus! There are so many trees and flowers on campus that make the surrounding area seem so elegant and trendy. Even though some of the buildings are old, they look homely and welcoming. We are big on recycling and not wasting, so the campus is always kept very nice, neat, and clean. It's a big enough campus that you can avoid people when needed, but it's small enough that you can see your friends and peers everyday. It only takes about 10 minutes to walk from one side of the campus to the other, so going to class is a breeze, even if you're running a little bit late.

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

The best part about Radford University has to be how friendly everyone is. Making new friends and finding people to help you in your classes is very easy. The friends you make here will last a life time. The campus is also close to a lot of food places and it's only about 10 minutes by car to Wal-Mart. You only have to walk 20 minutes to make your way down to the New River, which is really great for swimming, and for hanging out with your friends on the weekends. The dorms give you your own personal space, and give students the opportunity to meet a lot of people.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Make sure to finish homework THE DAY YOU RECIEVE IT if possible. It's a lot easier to finish not only because you have just gone over the material, but also because the next day you have a certain class, new material will be covered, prompting you to forget old material for the homework. Time management is also very important. Enough though your classes are very important, make sure to make some time for your friends and to relax. It will significantly help in the long run, and will help to keep yourself less stressed.
