I've been thinking a lot about if I should write a review on this school or not. After thinking…read moreabout it, I feel the upcoming students have the right to know my experience was in the Medical Assisting Program in 2022 starting from February through November. I was a student coming from out of state wanting to enroll into an amazing school. Everyone was very kind and considerate and pushed for excellence for the students. I then started to notice that students through the school were acting like "high school college students". Teachers were late to class, having staff meetings an hour into class (but heard them laughing), missing so many lab materials we needed, dress code wasn't being held to standards. I had teachers in tank tops dresses and flip flops which is totally unprofessional in the medical field. I was thinking how you can hold us to a standard if you cannot show yourself. When we got the learning about vital signs and materials, we spent 1-2 days on vitals and never again which isn't enough for time for us to master. The lab didn't have some materials to have a layout for a tray set-up in a medical setting and lancets for checking blood sugars. I was getting very frustrated, but I didn't want to waste my money I spent, so I changed from night classes to morning, hoping that things would change. Prior to that change, a student got upset because there was a miscommunication in some words exchanged and she pulled me outside of the building and started intimidating me and raising her voice. The teachers and staff members did nothing to have me feel safe when that situation happened and the entire class ganged up on me, forcing me to switch to day classes. During the day classes, the school placed a teacher into a classroom where she didn't have the best knowledge for that subject (not her fault) and expected her to teach us when she didnt know how which was also frustrating. A few weeks later, I noticed the smell of marijuana in the building and in back parking lot. When I parked my car one day, I looked over my door and noticed by accident a HUGE bag of marijuana inside an SUV with a lot of cash. I told the school that I had seen a student from another program selling marijuana outside of building and inside by break area. Again, nothing was done, and the student continued. The staff smoke with the students and seems like the professionalism there is lacking alot. Also, I came at night one night and I saw a male student having a barber shop in one of the medical classrooms and I was mortified because this is a medical classroom, and why aren't teachers reprimanding these students for code of conduct. I did appreciate some staff there but lastly around September at least 8 staff members resigned, quit, or disappeared. I asked several times what's going on, and the school said, different opportunities. I truly didn't believe them, because I knew something was happening, we didn't know about and that's why a domino effect of people left. Also, some staff I was close to told me they choose to leave because of the school issues. Overall, I personally think this college is a joke which allows students to do whatever they want. I felt like I was back in high school again with so much drama. My anxiety was always high, leaving classes or not coming, and crying due to being picked on from students. I ended up paying for the entire program which I didn't finish because of the stress of the school, and personal reasons. Now I'm back in my home state in west coast in which I'm having to retake the medical assistant program all over again with a legitimist school. I've been at my new school for 2 months now (paying for it again), and I've learned more in those short months than the entire program at Centura College. My suggestion is to not attend this school and look into a college that takes things seriously and holds you accountable for your actions and learning. Again, I dislike writing bad reviews, but students need to know what's really going on instead of what there being told by the school. If the school sees this, I hope you can make changes for the best.

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.

There is no involvement with professors and students leading to the program directors finding NO point in speaking with me (as the president of the student nursing association ) and even said "don't you have a faculty representative to talk to me instead?" The current dean is 100% incompetent and only cares about her name being the dean. There are a few good professors (Neary and BA being the TOP!!) but the rest don't give a rats booty about how you do or what you do. You get no experience during clinical because professors are so behind and direction is almost always confusing. I would not recommend this school. They will also expel students 100% based off of hearsay and not actual evidence or their devotion to studying and improving the school. SCOHS DOES NOT CARE ABOUT ITS STUDENTS. IT CARES ABOUT MAKING MONEY.

When it came time for clinicals, my teacher (not the same as in class) was phenomenal. while they were very much on their own tune to the world, it was a nice change of place. they helped me learn what it really meant to work in the healthcare, and always encouraged us to ask questions, even if they're small and the answer "obvious". Never a dull moment and the teachers were always willing to stay after class was over to help anyone out.

Frank W Cox is an excellent high school on N Great Neck Road in Virginia Beach. My son is a…read moregraduate of the school, which excels in academics & sports. My connection to the school goes beyond my son's education. During the time period my stepdaughter attended, I served as PTA President. The Falcons were a perennial State Field Hockey Champion during that time period. Golf was also a sport in which Cox excelled. During recent years the football team has done quite well. The Cox Falcons can claim over 50 State Championships. Some of my close friends were teachers at the school. Most have now retired. I first met one of my lineage society friends during an Open House when my son was taking one of her classes. We've been delighted in the years since that our friendship began with her having taught my son at Cox. I'll never forget the time our family was dining at a Shore Drive restaurant. I didn't know that the bar was the Cox teachers after school hangout. My stepdaughter was shocked. I remember her horrified statement "Teachers!!" I guess she expected teachers to disappear into the sunset when school ended for the day. :) The administration has always been excellent. I had a wonderful relationship with the principal Emily Tilley during the time I was PTA President. The Assistant Principals were promoted to their own Principal positions. I love the building and its layout. I'm hoping that it doesn't fall prey to the School Boards current "tear down & replace with a Taj Mahal" practice. Traditions & memories are important. My son attended Cox in the morning for academics & the Governors School for the Arts in the afternoon. One story tells everything about their academic excellence. Governor's School students were still expected to complete the same homework as full day students even though they had classes & rehearsals at Governors School well into the evening. My son particularly would complain about the difficulty of homework required in Advanced Placement English Comp. When we attended orientation at University of Cincinnati they conducted testing for all incoming freshman to see if they tested out of Freshman English. Because of my son's extensive classwork at Cox he told me "Please, please don't let me test into a higher level course." Of course he did test out of freshman English. Later in the semester I remembered to ask him about the higher level English class. He said it was easy. So Cox's college prep courses were phenomenal for college success. I love to tell this story to my Cox teacher friends. They should be praised for academic excellence. In recent years I was saddened when the School Board rezoned Thoroughgood from Cox to Princess Ann High School. Although I no longer had a student in school it was sad to see the history of neighborhood connection lost. It was an easier drive to Cox. The neighborhood behind us still goes to Cox. In fact, since my house backs up to that neighborhood, my GPS from the back side of my house thinks I am in Church Point. I'm certain the current generation of young parents are happy with their school, having not experienced Cox. I can't help feeling sad since I have no connection to the new neighborhood school. Even worse, the main proponent of the zoning change was a School Board Member who was a member of my Thoroughgood Elementary PTA Board when her oldest child was in kindergarten. Her children were zoned for Bayside High School. Was it a jealousy rezoning? I'll never be convinced of anything else. Go Falcons! You will always hold a special place in my heart.

The school is home to the Falcons and they are only one of two city schools that do not have an academy. My daughter now attends as a Freshman. Located just off Great Neck Rd. its one of the more accessible schools to get in and out. The building looks pretty blah industrial and boring brick. I think it was built in the early 80's. The campus out front is pretty with hundreds of tall trees. The interior is noticeably dated in the auditorium seating. Everything appeared well maintained. I attended a recent orientation at the school and found the faculty to be overall caring. However, it's the administration with Dr. Kelly's leadership as principal that impressed me the most. On the academic side they are always considered a top school. In the last few years their ranking has slipped a bit. Do your own research. Dr. Kelly did tout they had the highest math scores in the city which is huge! On the sports side Cox holds over 50 state championships. In the past they dominated football and swim. Overall they are good at everything and strike on championships at every sport. They recently were moved down to 5A which will help them better compete. Although Cox is my home zone school my daughter had a choice through the academy system. I'm delighted she chose to attend Cox is already plugged in several activities.

Allow yourself a little time to get inside and get settled if it's your first visit to one of the physicians here.
