    Am learning a lot

    With seven different schools, stretching from psychology and law to theater and cinema production (offered at both grad and undergrad levels), Regent University is the place to be if you are a blossoming Christian leader. The learning environment within each school varies from the others. I am enrolled in the Comm. Arts school where the learning environment is highly nurturing to the independent learner. If you are hungry for experience and thirsty for knowledge, the Comm. Arts programs will definitely give back what you put into it.
    Am enjoying being here

    The student body is fairly small (the school of undergrad was started in 2004 so it is comparatively young) but generally very passionate about the calling God has put on their lives and the school that's helping them get there. On campus life is a blast. The resident assistants (two of which were award winning RAs at this year's Virginia Association of College & University Housing Officers conference) and housing staff go above and beyond to create an intimate and exciting on-campus community.
    Bang for the buck

    As a private Christian school, the classes are going to be a bit more demanding on the wallet. However, as stated before, it all depends on how much effort you are willing to put into your education. It also can depend a great deal on your professor. I've found in my experience, though, that the professors here at Regent will either teach the bare minimum or go above and beyond. I've had several professors already who have invested in me and my passions in a way that I will always remember. These professors are, fortunately, the rule rather than the exception at Regent.
    Tips for prospective students

    Come visit our campus! It's a beautiful place to learn and often your tour guide will be a current student who knows the ins and outs of on-campus life. Or you can come during one of Regent's Preview Weekend event. During this event you'll get put up with current students within the on-campus residence halls and get the low-down about the school in various workshops. We'll be sure to show you just how fun Regent can be while showing Mom just how beneficial Regent will be to your education and spiritual walk. If you are a student in exceptional GPA standing looking into Regent's Scholars' Weekend. It's similar to the Preview Weekend but you will compete with other students for full or partial scholarships.
    Great for these types of students

    Because of how diverse each school within Regent tends to be, nearly nay student can find his or her place. I would say that the most exciting place to be is in the undergrad program. We're busting at the seems with amazing emerging Christian leaders and steadily taking over the campus!

    I am learning so much at Regent. The teachers and the advisers are wonderful and they are always praying for their students success!!
    Am enjoying being here

    I am pursuing my degree online and I love it. THe technology is cutting edge and it is perfect for busy adults with a family and a full time job.
    Tips for prospective students

    Am learning a lot

    I am learning a lot in terms of my intended major and in the honing of my academic writing and communicative skills. I couldn't ask for anything more!
    Am enjoying being here

    I am taking classes online as I live in Florida. Still, I am enjoying my time here. The classes are so modern as they implement cutting edge technology. I believe this helps my experience in distance learning. Plus, the professors expect such academic excellence from the students we are pushed to hone in on our analytical and writing skills. This makes us better students!
    Bang for the buck

    It is more expensive than a state college as it is a private institution. Since I am also in a separate state and I work to pay for college I am well aware of the great difference in expense. Thankfully, they can reduce some of the tuition based on academic merit. The quality of the education, in my opinion, is well worth it!
    Tips for prospective students

    Again, I'll note that one might find a professor's expectations at Regent University to be more than those presented in community colleges or even in some state colleges. I say this because I have noticed that many of my peers prefer easy classes where professors demand little and test or quizzes are open-book or allow multiple attempts. The experience at Regent is well worth the effort, in my opinion, especially if you intend on attaining an education on a Master's or Doctorate level. Also, they have great opportunities for military families and those interested in online distance learning.
    Great for these types of students

    I would recommend this college to students with religious tendencies and diligent working habits. Those who are highly motivated will do well. Because this is a private institution they require you to take core classes based on theology and Christianity. If this interests you, or at the very least does not offend you, this university may be right for you.

    Am learning a lot

    This school is wonderful in that they don't just spout information at you - they force you to think. Once you attend, you will no longer be able to take anything you here for granted, you will question and consider before taking something as a fact. You will analyze the comments of the carefully chosen experts on news stations and be able to distinguish for yourself whether or not they are giving a professional, factual opinion or a biased one. The fact that the current governor of Virginia (Governor Bob McDonnell) graduated from Regent's Law School says no small thing about the quality of education there.
    Am enjoying being here

    The staff here is very nice. Although they're human and they do make mistakes, they're always quick to respond to your queries and fix the problem as soon as they are able. You'd be hard put to find any kinder and more efficient staff members than at Regent University. The campus is absolutely beautiful; the students and professors alike are generous people. It's pretty freaking hard to beat!
    Bang for the buck

    It won't break the pocketbook like some of the other schools out there - I mean, it's not cheap like the state schools, but it's most definitely good for a private school! I don't mind sharing personal information, so my tuition and housing costs for this coming semester (Fall 2011) came up to approximately $10,000, including all the small fees associated with colleges. Regent does have scholarships to help you in this department - you can find them by clicking on the Financial Aid link located on the drop-down menu on their site. You can also always consult a Financial Aid Adviser if you feel like you need further help.
    Tips for prospective students

    Don't rush into it - be sure to visit the campus and talk to the students if you can. I've seen some prospective students sit in on classes - they sat in on the Creative Writing class I was in - so I know that's a possibility. Don't be afraid to ask questions of any random people you see walking on campus, although they may or may not be weirded out, I'm sure they'll answer your questions! Also, be sure to pick up some food at the Ordinary, since their food is pretty tasty.

    Also, a good idea for anyone, whether you decide to go to Regent or not: buy your books on half.com. You'll get them for about a quarter of the price you get them for in a university store most of the time, including shipping. This saves you so much money it's unreal.
    Great for these types of students

    If you want a place where you can be involved, this is it. Since their School of Undergraduate Studies isn't ancient like at other schools, they're always looking for student input. They have things like RUC (Regent Undergraduate Council) that allow any regular student to have a voice in what classes they offer, what majors they might develop, and so on.

    Obviously, it's also a great school for anyone who wants to grow in their spiritual walk. Again - everyone is friendly and willing to help you. We know none of us are perfect, and that's what we've got other people for. We'll help each other as we strive to come closer to God. They have Chapel every Wednesday, UnChapel every Thursday, and all sorts of Life Groups going on, as well - not to mention NeXt on Sunday evenings.

    Altogether, if you want to make a change in the world, this is also the place to be. Regent's mission statement is to make Christian leaders to change the world, and that's not just words for them. They continuously strive to meet their goal, and they've met it. Already there is a governor and a House Representative in office as fruits of their labor. But Christian leaders doesn't solely refer to government officials - it refers to teachers, psychologists, restaurant managers, police officers - I don't believe it matters what walk of life you come from. As Christians we are called to walk like Christ in every way, and I believe that means seeking to change lives in any way we can. That requires leadership in a sense. Regent is the best place I know of to equip you for a life of serving Christ and serving people. I hope you'll love it as much as I do! Feel free to e-mail me if you have any questions - I'd love to answer them. My e-mail is ennpencilpal91@msn.com. Don't make fun - I made it when I was 11!

    The professors at Regent are wonderful. They take the time to help you when you need it and are readily available. The professors care about your academic life as well as your spiritual life. If you are lucky you will receive a professor who has such a love for their subject that you will end up loving it as well. Very well rounded education for Christian leaders who will be sent out to change the world!
    Am enjoying being here

    The campus is beautiful and the people are friendly! I can always find a smiling face and helping hand on Regent’s campus. Regent is a smaller campus so everything is easy to find. There is always something fun going on and there is a wide range of activities for every type of person.
    Bang for the buck

    Regent is a private university so it is a bit more expensive than other schools. Fortunately financial aid and scholarships are readily available. The financial aid counselors are more than willing to help you find ways to afford Regent.
    Tips for prospective students

    I urge the prospective students to get involved and jump right in! There is a lot of information available on financial aid, the division of schools, and anything else you could possibly want to know about. Visit the campus and see if Regent is right for you. Before anything, pray. Pray that God will lead you to the right path. If you trust and follow in the Lord, He will never lead you wrong.
    Great for these types of students

    Great for students who want to make a change in this world. Great for students who have a fiery passion inside of them and are looking for a university that holds the students to high standards. A wonderful place to be for every growing child of God.

    Regent has a wonderful reputation and I am looking forward to being educated by this institution.
    Will enjoy being here

    I am enrolled as an online student, but plan to participate on campus in various planned events.
    Tips for prospective students

    Plan a trip to the campus and talk with an admissions counselor. They are most helpful and encouraging when making your decision.

    Regent is a great opportunity for anyone looking to better not only their mind, but Spirit as well.

    Regent University cultivates an academically challenging environment while maintaining a balance with the social aspect of one's education. This institution is focused on raising Christian leaders to change rhe world through a Christ-centered education. Furthermore the campus is gorgeous and the faculty and staff are always more than willing to offer any assistance to the students.
    Tips for prospective students

    To prospective students seeking a strong Christian education with high academic standards and a perfect student to professor ratio, I would say Regent is the perfect match. I can honestly say Regent students and faculty become a family and if you are willing to work hard, you will not only thrive in the environment, but you will be well-equipped to enter the real world and be successful as you make an impact for Christ's sake.
    Academic Rigor

    Regent University is an academically challenging institution. Depending on the course of study, classes may vary in rigor, however in my experience my Regent education has been an essential part of my overall academic growth and development as it has challenged me in ways I have never known. Yet, despite the challenges, I know that when I graduate I will be well prepared to begin my career and perform to the best of my ability.
    Dorm Life

    Regent University is located on a beautiful campus designed with the Colonial Williamsburg atmosphere in mind. It's resident halls are spacious, complete with a small kitchenette, living area, bathroom, and bedroom. Overcrowding is not an issue and the gym is always open for a late night workout. Multiple student activities and life groups are available to both on and off campus students.
    Food and Dining

    The Ordinary is the on-campus dining hall and offers a wide selection of food. Yet there are several nice places to dine throughout the Virginia Beach area and one will never be at a loss for new dining experiences.
    What to do for fun

    The beach is located about 10-15 minutes from campus and is a favorite attraction of students and professors alike. Cafe Moka is a favorite hang out/study spot and there are many calm, peaceful parks in the area as well. A day trip to Busch Gardens, Jamestown, Yorktown, or Colonial Williamsburg makes for an exciting and enriching experience. Furthermore, on-campus activities include ballroom dance lessons, Zumba classes, movie nights on the lawn, game nights, ice cream sundae socials, and so much more. Chapel for undergraduate students is held every Thursday night and is a favorite part of everyone's week. Needless to say, one never lacks something to do for fun at Regent University.

    One of the reasons I chose this school is because I can get my degree for less money than at other schools. Even though it costs less the program is comparable to other more expensive programs.

    Regent University provides challenging and relevant degree programs on campus or online. The academics and professors are top-notch, providing all of us with one of the best educations available. I may be biased, but Regent University is truly the best choice of schools for non-traditional students who want to learn online.
    Tips for prospective students

    Regent University offers a good selection of school scholarships and grants so be sure to check out all the options when you apply.
    Academic Rigor

    At Regent University, academics are important. Classes are challenging and thorough. Professors are top-notch and care deeply for their students. Online classes are fast-paced and well-worth every hour spent.

    Returning to school was a big decision for our family. I wanted an education that made the best use of my time, and Regent has done that. The classes are challenging - pushing me harder and further than I ever thought possible.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    Regent University is a Christian university, but it also has excellent degrees in many fields. Biblical and Theological Studies, Christian Ministry, Criminal Justice, Communication, Business, IT, Leadership and Management are just a few of the degrees offered.
    Great for these types of students

    Regent University has an EXCELLENT online degree program, so I am able to attend class based on my schedule. I'm a small business owner and work from my home, so I can fit my classes around my business and vice versa. I'm also a non-traditional student, returning to school after a 28-year hiatus. The students in all my classes have a wide variety of backgrounds - young, old (I'm surprised to find I'm not usually the oldest - or the youngest!), single, married with children, business owners, military members, housewives, grandparents, high school students. The variation gives us a unique learning environment that has truly been an asset.

    a school of decent moral integrity. a school that would do well to re-evaluate the quality of classes including online classes. a school that would do well to re-evaluate the cost of attendance vs. quality of the education/experience.

    Tips for prospective students

    if considering law, psychology or just an online degree you definitely need to do yourself a favor and check it out. make sure you qualify for financial aid because it is a private institution and definitely not cheap compared to public institutions. nonetheless, very reasonable considering it is private.
