I love it so much I might take a few classes just to experience the new vibes. The canmpus is beautiful and the new cultural offerings are mind-blowing. President Koch was busy. He took a great local university and turned it into a modern global campus. The student is so overwhelming, food everywhere, beautiful seating and meeting areas for the students to study and unwind. It was too much to take in. The walkways have all been widened and redone. Buidlings have new facades and have been expanded. I attended the part in the middle of campus and thought I was at a big campus, now it reminds me how it feels to stand in Richmond trying to find your way around Richmond University or VCU/MCV. Amazing. I am proud to be a Monarch.

It was a waste of time. Terrible MIS programs. IT classes are unorganized. Tuition is overpriced…read more Better off at another college.

How blessed I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard but ODU sure did make move-in…read moreday super efficient. We arrived around 7:45am and my kiddo's move-in time was scheduled for 8:00-9:00am. She jumped out the car, checked in at the registration desk, was provided her key and then they gave us directions to proceed to her dorm room. The staff directed us in our cars to park right outside her dorm room to unload. We drove on the large sidewalk and parked in the grass 10 ft from her dorm. Pure awesomeness!! I had my good walking shoes on (AKA, my Timberland slippers) because I was prepared to take multiple trips from the car from some garage but NOPE, not needed. They took our information and phone numbers and wrote it on a hang tag for our cars (yep, we drove two SUVs for all my daughter's stuff!). We were told to quickly unload and then move our cars to the garage nearby so the next group could come through. They gave us these large cardboard boxes on wheels. We used 4 of them and everything in the car was emptied. It literally took us 10 mins to unload. The longest wait was for the elevator, since my daughter's room is on the 4th floor. All in all, I commend the ODU staff for having move-in day so well orchestrated and organized. I'm sure they have perfected this over the years, but as a new parent to the school, I was elated with the efficiency. The staff and kids who rushed to help us were helpful, super kind and great to work with. They even gave us "Proud Parents" shirts in which we wore proudly. If move-in day is any indication of what's to come, I know she will have a terrific year at ODU.

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 attended a Fantastic Planet event at Old Dominion University which seemed to center around Barry…read moreArt Museum. Admission was $15, free for students. There is a check-in of your information for their statistics. The museum is two floors. The bottom is mainly compromised of glass with some items from Chihuly. Everything in the entire museum is behind plastic. A bit disappointing. Restrooms, water fountain and elevator are in the rear. The second floor has a hands on video game display and dolls. Surprisingly I found the dolls to be the most fascinating aspect of the museum. The Madame Alexander Dolls were impressive. My wife is a collector of the brand. They have a small display of Barbies. However the most intriguing display was a three story wood doll house the Barry Family commissioned. It reflects their Suffolk, Va home they lived and raised their family for decades. The different rooms represent with extreme details their home. The doll house could easily be insured over a million as the tiny bulbs in one chandelier alone cost $3,000 each I was told. Although I recommend the Barry Art Museum it's small. However, it's worth a visit and support. You have an option for membership when providing your information. 4.5 is a great fit.

Wowww what a gem!! I found this museum on a humble. While searching for things to do indoors on a…read morerainy day. This museum popped up. Also guess what's even better. It's FREE YES you heard me correctly. They also offer a free parking garage right around the corner. The gallery has four sections with the lower level and the upper level. Everything was truly amazing!! You can take the stairs or the elevator. They have a restroom on both levels. Expect to see amazing sculptures also some very fine art. There was never a dull moment. So expect to stay at least an hour or longer to enjoy it all. They have the staff around to explain any questions you might have. I am so glad I found this place and would highly recommend. This was perfect for my rainy day and not overly crowded. So if you're in the area. Come check them out.

Horrible customer service. My son had his wallet stolen and TCC they won't replace his bus pass and…read morehis school ID without him paying for it again, and he has a police report number. They stick to the script that he has to pay for a new id and bus pass. My son had to walk home from his first day of class because he couldn't get a bus pass. My job will not allow me to even leave the floor to help him and the school wouldn't help him either and he is special needs. I called the customer service number all day and guess who answered the phone with a live human the Chesapeake office. I can't wait until he gets enough credits to transfer, well you get what you pay for and it's sad. Change TCC locations or change schools that is my only choice. Lots of excuses were made today but in my line of work I am not allowed to leave patients and families unhappy and I have to solve problems or else. To sum it up Norfolk is getting worse from the horrible customer service in stores, to the public schools and now this. But it makes sense I should never expect anything positive from Norfolk at all. Very sad from when I attended 15 years ago.

See the loss/wins it shows that she is NOT capable of coaching and creating a winning team. She was hired in enough time to "recruit" and the 2 she recruited for this 2025 season are horrible- one being her little sister. She gives her multiple chances on mistakes along with the 300lb girl. I can only think that a HUGE donation was made for this FRESH to see the court and play soooo many times over upper class man. Her judgement is way off and coaching ability is middle school age. This conference is too strong for someone like this and putting the 300lb girl on the court is telling she doesn't know athleticism and how to win. Her new recruits are in the 300lbs range... I only see this team dropping to NAIA soon.

I also felt like they prepared me for the future with my next goals. The staff are also very helpful to include dealing with Financial Aid and VA benefits. If they had a graduate program that I was interested in, I would have chosen this school again. The class sizes are small so you get the personalized attention that students like me prefer, because you're not just a number. The campus is also small, but it's beautiful! Thank you Saint Leo Staff, Faculty and community!! I attended at the main Saint Leo/Tampa/MacDill, FL campuses.
