Review of Virginia Wesleyan University

from Chesapeake, VA

Describe your college in three sentences.

Virginia Wesleyan College is your academic home away from home. This is the right school for anyone who wants to feel at home while receiving a degree from the beautiful campus based in Norfolk, VA. Virginia Wesleyan will make you feel welcome to swim with your fellow Marlins starting from day one.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Make sure to take advantage of campus help that you can find in every department. This campus has friendly staff that will remember your name and be able to help you with any needs you have.

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

Academics on campus are a top priority. The staff is glad to answer questions both on and off campus. Your grades will be fair and you will come home with the best degree possible.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

Although I am a commuter student, I have seen the dorms, apartments, and town homes. Anything that has to do with the college is nice. The campus is nice, the dorms are nice, and the college feels like home.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

Virginia Wesleyan has the best food of any college I have been to. There is a cafeteria and three types of grills that serve food as well. Everything is quick, convenient, and delicious.

What’s there to do for fun at your college?

The campus has open areas for sports, a pool, gym, clubs, and more activities a semester than can be counted. There is so much to do here that you should never be bored. If you like quiet instead, the library has private rooms and plenty on garden areas to read outside.

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

I pay less a year for this college in school loans, than I did at a community college. I receive more scholarships and financial aid to cover the cost of school than I have anywhere else.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

There is always something to do and new friends to be made.

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?

The campus security can always be seen patrolling the grounds. The campus entrance is also monitored by a guard stand and afternoon classes always have security in the parking lot to monitor students walking to their cars.
