Review of Southern Virginia University

from Herriman, UT

Did learn a lot

SVU is a liberal arts university and as such the education here is astounding. The liberal approach to education allows students to have a well-rounded learning experience in every sense of the word.

Did enjoy being here

The people are what make SVU such a great institution. I came nearly 2,000 miles from home to start college, but the friends I made at SVU made it feel like home. We became a family.

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

As a private liberal arts institution on the east coast, SVU's tuition is superb. It is not cheap by any means, but it is a lot cheaper than other schools of the same caliber. All of the things that I learned were well worth the cost of attending this school.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

If you are considering SVU, be prepared to participate in class. The small class sizes means that your professors will actually care if you come to class regularly. Become involved with the community. Buena Vista is a small town but it's people have a lot to offer. Find opportunities to be a leader-servant. That is what SVU is all about.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

The Latter-day Saint environment of the university promotes wholesome learning and activities. If you are a hard-working student with high values, SVU is a great place for you to study.
