What Students Are Saying

Like most universities, academics always come first. There may be homework every night, but it's not enough to make you hate everything. It stays evened out throughout the semesters.
Cristina from Buena Vista, VA
I hear that you learn a lot, and the teachers are always there for you.
Lacy from Glenmont, OH
The classes make you work hard, but they are not impossible. The professors are understanding and are willing to help you, which makes the work a little less difficult. At Southern Virginia University, when you earn an A in a class, you REALLY do earn an A.
Haley from Richmond, KY
the classes are all informative and the required general education classes allow well rounded access to all of the different majors so students can figure out what interests them. the professors are helpful and all very skilled in their own teaching degrees.
