I've passed by Virginia Wesleyan so many times but never entered the campus until last fall. It's a…read moremuch larger & vibrant campus than I had expected from my viewpoint driving past. There is one gate with a manned checkpoint on the gated campus. I indicated where I was going & the friendly gate keeper gave me exact directions. What I had thought was a small university was actually much bigger, thanks in major part to donations & efforts of philanthropist Jane Batten. My visit was to the Batten Student Center, which was bustling with activity in the evening hours that I was there. It was a beautiful, well equipped place where students could gather, participate in indoor sports & have 2nd story meeting room spaces, The private college has grown in prestige & enrollment in recent years, thanks to the efforts of Jane Batten. In 2026 a major change will come, which is welcomed & applauded by all. In addition to the move of the Virginia Museum for Contemporary Arts to the VWU University campus, the name of the universally will be changed to Batten University. The campus is located on Wesleyan Drive very near the I-64 exit for Northampton Boulevard. A turn to the south on Wesleyan Drive will take one past the entrance gate and main campus. Congratulations to the university on its well deserved increased pathway to the future.

So I started attending fortis college in September of 2021 and will graduate September 2022. I…read moreattend the dental assistant program and has been the best decision the teachers are wonderful and will be there for anything you need. When it comes to them taking the time out of there day for one-on-one attention to help you better understand they are there for it all! The school on the other hand isn't. I was charged $300 on my FASFA for a laptop I didn't need I already had one. Since October of 2021 I have told them about it and nobody has help since. I told the president of the school and even the accreditation Board. The woman from the accreditation board made it seem like it wasn't a big deal and she would help but didn't care at all. As a student I haven't felt heard and felt like I wasn't taking seriously. Not only have I had problems with the school but more student in the program with me have. The staff changes so much because I everyone is always quitting. As I first started I was 3 months pregnant. As my due date became closer I was always asking how my classes where going to be effect with me being out 4 weeks. My director was always saying oh don't worry we'll handle it when the time is closer. When I had one month left, I was told if I take 4 weeks off for maternity leave my classes would be put on hold and I wouldn't graduate in September. I was back at school a week later after giving birth so keep that in mind before attending.

Football season is here!…read more I did not formally attend the University to further my education however I love the fact that you can go to sporting events that are within my hometown for example this past football season my husband and I attended a few football games at the NSU ... We were super excited for the new coach Michael Vick! We went to the first game and it was a fairly decent turnout however, the crowds were late entering the field...a lot of confusion going on nevertheless the stadium is beautiful plenty of vendors there if you're not just interested in the game. The parking can be an issue however they did offer parking at the MacArthur mall and we were able to take a shuttle over which was pretty easy and that was free of charge or we had access to take the light rail in Norfolk as well and get let off within a mile or two of the stadium which was free of charge as well. Nevertheless it's a good time if you're into sporting events this is basketball season right now not sure how the teams are doing but it's worth a visit if you're in the area to check out the teams at a collegiate level. Have fun and enjoy life :)

I was advised to sit on this review before posting it but even after waiting I'm still disappointed…read morewith the level of service I received from the Welcome Center and Michael K. Hendricks at Regent. Without going into too much detail have you ever had the feeling that someone just doesn't want to help you. That was exactly the vibe I got. I was trying to assist someone with a relatively minor issue but instead of providing clear guidance I was met with vague responses like We can't help with that or Let me reach out to someone who might be able to assist. Eventually they brought in Mr. Hendricks but unfortunately he was no help either. I couldn't tell if he genuinely didn't know how to assist or simply didn't want to. His suggestion was to have the person in question contact him directly, which we did one min later. The person called multiple times, left messages on both his business line and mobile, and even followed up via email. No response!!! The lack of follow through and willingness to assist was extremely frustrating and left a very poor impression. Please don't advise to be a military friendly school if you are going to treat people like this. Help fix the issue not make it worse or give us a run around, do better!!

I waited to post this review, as I did experience tons of positive interactions with the University…read moreprofessors. My consistent issue was with the Business office each semester. I later was told by university staff (in 2024) that there were only two people working in the business office. The lack of man power accounted for the long or non-existent communication times. However, the business office is not why I am writing this review. As of 02/27/2026, I am 4 credits away from graduating from Regent University. I was originally scheduled to graduate last summer. This is my second master's degree, so I am paying the majority of my tuition out of pocket. Up until February 2025, that was not a problem. I am self-employed, and in February 2025 I had to make two trips back home as my father was diagnosed with cancer and quickly passed away, causing me to miss working half of the month of February. I believe my GPA is around 3.78 and the semester my father passed I still received over a 3.5 GPA. I fell behind on most of my bills due to being off work and having extra travelling expenses on two occasions in less than 30 days. I applied for scholarships and all to no avail. Since I was so close to graduating, I was told by either the financial aid office or the business office to reach out to the head of my department to see if they had any additional departmental funds that could assist with my overdue balance, which was under$1500. I sent an email and heard nothing for a couple of months, after a follow-up email I was told to submit a scholarship application (although the date for the scholarships had passed) so that they could have basic information and demographics to try to find a donor, alumni, or any other scholarship or grant that they could find to assist me. I submitted the application and sent an email informing my contact that it was submitted in August 2025. As of 2/27/2026, I have heard absolutely nothing, and my balance has been submitted to collections. As a student in good standing, who is already working and excelling in the industry in which I was obtaining my degree in, and only 4 credits away; I expected some form of communication, even if it wasn't favorable communication. It saddens me that I got so close to graduating and after asking for assistance (something I don't do personally), I was ignored and treated as a stranger, not a student who never had issues paying my tuition for two consecutive years. This situation has added sadness to an already devastating time. It really is unfortunate added to the frustration of dealing with the understaffed business office during my time as a student. These experiences have left a very sour taste in my mouth for a University I once loved and spoke pretty highly about.

I knew that when I moved away, I would never find another dance studio that compares. The teachers are amazing, the classes become families, and the recital's are always so fun. The recitals are once a year, and they're always an amazing, broadway-style production. They're on the big stage (Harrison Opera House or Chrysler Hall), costumes are carefully selected, and the production of the show is NEXT LEVEL. I recommend everyone attend and sign up their kids (boys and girls!) for dance classes at Bobbi and Helen. It is so worth it, and the greatest memories will be made.

We love the Montessori approach and feel that it helps children develop very comfortably at their own pace. All of the teachers, TA's, and administrative staff have been easy to communicate with and helped us with any concerns over the year. Being that it was her first year, I admit that I did have a lot of questions, but the staff was understanding and as the weeks went on, I felt more and more comfortable that she was safe and well taken care of and she became very comfortable with her teachers, as well as her peers. I saw how much she learned just after two months. The schedules work and have helped her thrive academically and socially. I can see her problem-solving skills have really developed, as well as her thinking. The monthly newsletters kept us informed throughout the year. The school programs are all fun to attend and see the children work together, and also see their individual personalities shine. I feel that the facility is very clean and that she's picked up some good habits over the year. She's also made some good friends with her peers and learned good manners. We love hearing about her day, her lessons, and activities when we pick her up. The pick-up and drop-off system works fairly quickly. We also love that they do STEM, art projects to bring home, gym, outdoor activities, and trips to the farm. It's a great facility and we do love the diverse staff, who are all friendly and helpful. We have enrolled her next year and can't wait to see how much more she learns and grows over the next few years with MAV.

After contacting the college for more information, an admissions representative named Michael…read morecalled me to discuss more about the program. It was an immediate red flag when he informed me that all of the information I needed about the price of the program, prerequisite list, and program course list required a tour of the campus and an on-campus meeting. It felt like being at a car dealership and being required to test drive a car and run a credit check before being provided with the price of the car. It's a manipulative business practice that relies on a psychological phenomenon called the sunk cost fallacy. In short, the more time and energy you waste on something, the less likely you are to walk away, because you'll feel like it was all for nothing. You stick around hoping that there will be a payoff. They know that. I emailed him and canceled our standing appointment for the following day in VERY clear language. He responded and acknowledged. The following day, he reached out to me to inform me that he was expecting me at the on-campus meeting. I assumed it was an automatic text or something, so I ignored the reminder. After the appointment time passed, he sent me yet another text and email both expressing his disappointment that I didn't show up and inquired about whether or not I was interested in the program. I realized that I now felt like I was going through a bad breakup with someone who needed me to breakup with him repeatedly because he didn't know how to accept no. Buyer beware: This reeks of a for-profit diploma mill.

For an ASSOCIATES DEGREE?!?!? You gotta be freaking crazy. DO NOT GO HERE. AN ASSOCIATES DEGREE IS NOT WORTH $40,000. Go to sentara for your BSN for 8k less or go to tidewater community college for your ADN for only $15,000. While the facility is kinda nice, it's not worth a 2 year associates for 40k. PLEASE GO ANYWHERE ELSE. This is a total scam, I don't even wanna know how much they want for a bachelors degree. It's $10,000 a semester which isn't worth it. Be smart, go to tidewater community college, transfer elsewhere after if you wanna continue your education.
