Review of Southern Virginia University

from Grosse Pointe Park, MI

Did learn a lot

Because of the small classes, I was able to work closely with my teachers. All of the teachers that I had were very knowledgeable about their subject area and were willing to spend out of class time helping their students. They recommended other teachers to take specific classes from.

Did enjoy being here

I gave it 4/5 stars because their is a Spirit like no other that I have known at this school. The teachers are wonderful. I loved that some of my teachers were also my bishops. I enjoyed meeting new students; however, there is not much culture here. It was difficult for me to deal with the lack of culture.

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

The education and small class sizes are worth the amount of money; however, the school is still growing and learning in noneducational matters.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

The teachers are wonderful. Do not be afraid to talk to your teacher after class, they are willing to help you. If you do not understand anything, please go to them. Get to know your classmates (you will see them all of the time). Bring a car or have means of transportation to make your own fun. Off campus housing is the best option.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

This is a great place to increase/gain a testimony and also receive a quality education. There are great missionary opportunities here (not all students are members). Do not hesitate to talk to your teacher after class.
