This is my first semester where a school does not provide enough furniture for the amount of students in a class. RIDICULOUS! Longwood wonders why their student numbers are going down.... If it was not for the close location from my house and the inability to transfer my classes to another close school due to my major then I would change schools. My advice is to save your money and go to a school that has Professors who care for the students, staff that is helpful with serious matters and don't turn a cheek when a matter is reported, and a school that provides the proper amount of desks for students in a classroom! D Hall food is very bland and disgusting. The food choices at Longwood is limited and there isn't much that surrounds FarmVille to eat off campus. Safety at Longwood is very sketchy to the point of car break ins with windows being smashed in in broad daylight. The overall atmosphere is sketchy and I very rarely see police officers anywhere on the grounds to help reduce these matters.

Never before in my life have I been able to find a place that both helps me to grow as an…read moreindividual and completely accepts the individual that I am, no matter where I am in the process of that growth. I have personal connections with nearly every one of my faculty members. For example: I took a Marketing course out of curiosity during the fall of my sophomore year. To this day, as a rising senior, that professor (who teaches only one or two night courses for the College) periodically emails to check in with me and to keep me aware of various jobs/internships that may be available to me - and that's not even the field in which I've chosen to major! The friendships that I have fostered here at Sweet Briar are some of the nearest and dearest I have ever experienced. While many of my friends graduated with the class of 2015, I have no doubt that we will remain close, despite between states apart. There are so many opportunities to create meaningful relationships, be it on your dorm hall, in a class, on a team, onstage, or in any number of our myriad of available clubs and activity groups. I have been a Student Admissions Ambassador since the spring of my first-year and I have never once felt phony or cliche when showing off our beautiful campus to visitors. I am not one to stomach "BS" and would certainly never stand for speaking it on my tours. Just goes to show that all the love and positivity is 100% real. As someone who initially visited SBC to prove that it was NOT what I wanted, I ask potential Vixens to put aside any preconceived notions you may have about Sweet Briar or women's colleges in general. I know that SBC tends to be thought of as tons of rich, white, Lilly Pulitzer-wearing, equestrians. I will not lie and say that there is not a portion of our student body that fits this description. But I will also honestly and passionately inform you that not every Sweet Briar woman falls into this type. I have friends who are terrified of horses, who are the first in their families to attend college, who rock Goth chic on a steamy August day at noon. We all come from different backgrounds, have different goals, and different interests. But one thing unifies us above all else: We are Sweet Briar women who fought to save our school and who sure as else are ready to take on the world.

Washington and Lee University is a historic campus, and it's worth a visit if you're into southern history. Washington and Lee was founded in 1749 and named after George Washington and Robert E. Lee. At this liberal arts school, you'll want to check out the University Chapel & Museum, where you'll see the 500 seat chapel, the Lee family mausoleum, and Lee's office when he was president of the university from 1865 to 1870. Also check out the Reeves Museum of Ceramics, which houses the 4th largest collection of ceramics in the U.S. I love walking around university campuses when I'm in a new area, and I'm glad I explored this one.

I spent a summer here at a program during high school 20 years ago and absolutely loved it. It's small and cozy and home-y and the small town of Lexington has plenty of shops and restaurants within a 5 minute walk of the school. Visiting this summer I easily found my way around like old times, after 20 years not much has changed. It's still beautiful, I saw a few updates, but essentially felt like I had stepped back in time.

Graduation was on the huge Shallenburger Field with proper social distancing enforced and plenty of space between parties. A little warm in the Sun so they had EMS available in case someone had a medical issue plus tents with cold water and plenty of shade. They did a great job of ensuring one-way traffic. We found a couple of great spots for photos and he's thinking that attending in person instead of online would have been awesome. [Review 15070 overall, 572 of 2021, number 1288 in Virginia.]

I was certainly thinking of hyping this campus to my freshman niece. While I was there for a course I took notice of how folks congregated on the lawn, and the various lawn chairs, but the grounds provided both open and covered areas for study and social gatherings. The Rotunda itself is a beautiful centerpiece surrounded by pillars and paths floored by brick. Gardens everywhere. There's a small statue dedicated to the first president of the United States. It is centrally located, with academic buildings on one side, and mix of commercial buildings (food, snacks, banks, bookstores, UVA gear... ), it's all there. If you're a student you have quick access to everything. It's very convenient. Very impressed.

I was hoping to browse the shop and perhaps buy a shirt or other University memorabilia. Unfortunately, the Spider Shop was closed when I arrived so perhaps the shop closes on Sundays.

I enrolled in Liberty University's DBA program about three years ago after reading that students do…read morenot have to be Christian to attend. While that may be true, I found that nearly every course incorporated biblical studies and Christian perspectives into the curriculum. As someone who practices Buddhism and had no knowledge of Christianity, I found it difficult to relate to the course content and meet those expectations. After careful consideration, I decided to withdraw from the program because it was not the right academic fit for me. This was a personal decision based on my background and learning preferences, not on the quality of the university itself. I believe Liberty University is an excellent choice for students who are Christian or who are comfortable with a curriculum that integrates biblical teachings throughout the program. However, prospective students from other faiths or those seeking a secular business education should carefully review the curriculum before enrolling to ensure it aligns with their expectations.

I returned to school to complete the courses required for licensure in Florida. At this stage in my life, that is not common--it is intentional, and it matters. I completed a course through Liberty University and then attempted to enroll in additional required courses. I was denied solely on the basis of the age of my transcript. Not my degree. Not my experience. Not my competency. The age of my transcript. I was told to take introductory and basic courses despite already holding a master's degree in this field and decades of direct clinical experience. That is not about maintaining standards. That is dismissing experience entirely. This is age-based discrimination. What makes this unacceptable is that I had just completed an ethics course at this same institution covering discrimination. Yet when faced with a real situation, they enforced a policy that does exactly that. I reached out multiple times. Same response every time. No consideration. No flexibility. No accountability. An institution that teaches ethics while practicing discrimination has lost its credibility.
