My first semester was awful, but the most recent semester was very enjoyable. I learned a lot and met some interesting people.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Campus is safe, very little trouble. Only petty theft is a problem, but it's not that bad.
Clubs and Activities Lol good luck trying to get anything done in them. Very inactive.
What to do for fun There's nothing to do.
Food and Dining The food is great. But the hygiene is not. Flies everywhere.
Dorm Life Your room is puny, no AC, you can hear what's going on in other rooms. Most things need fixing. It's like living in a run down motel. The showers take forever to warm up. The pump sounds off every shower.
Academic Rigor They teach at a preschool level, you won't learn anything you don't already know or should know.
Tips for prospective students Do not attend. Don't even think about it. The school is outdated. Some of the teachers will f*ck you over.
In three sentences This school is pure garbage. Most of the teachers are mediocre. The education is far below standards.

Categories Comments What to do for fun the university is literally located next to a beach -john brewers bay beach. additionally, there are various activities that exhibits the rich culture of the u.s. virgin islands.
Food and Dining there is a full service cafeteria available to students who resides on campus. alternatively, there are various local restaurants located in and around the campus.
Dorm Life unfortunately, i resided off campus, therefore i cannot submit any meaningful input on the dorm life.
Academic Rigor as a full time student who also worked a full time job, i attended classes in the evenings. however, i found the academic rigor of uvi to be on par with other universities located on the us mainland providing the same challenging academic standards and expectations.
Tips for prospective students my recommendation would be plan ahead and if possible, schedule a campus visit ahead to ascertain if the campus and its facilities are the best fit for you. ask questions about everything you need to know and interview other students.
In three sentences the university of the virgin island is an excellent choice for national and international students seeking post secondary education. the rich culture of the u.s. virgin islands is evident in all aspects of campus life and provides a memorable experience no matter where you are from. i highly encourage you experience it for yourself and get your education in america's paradise!

Categories Comments Campus Safety The University of the Virgin Islands takes student safety very seriously. There are guards on campus 24 hrs a day and if you are studying late in a specific location on the campus you can inform security and they will have a guard check up on you constantly and monitor your area. A resent step of security that was taken is that every student and employee is require to register there vehicle into the school database. There is also only one rode that leads on and off campus and a security poll was recently installed to monitor those leaving and coming.
Greek Life We do have some Greek students who integrate into the daily live of the school and local culture just fine. They are very polite students.
Clubs and Activities There are many clubs some of which I don't know them all, but we do have a student council (comity) which you can talk to if you would like to start your own club. The school has a small activities room, a gym, basketball court and tennis court. The grounds are also used for long distance running and host several triathlons. There is also an archery club that was just added.
Great for these types of students Students that like; the outdoors who are athletic like relaxed living beaches diving water sports
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus The US Virgin Islands is a U.S territory so things are not much different from the mainland as far is common language and lifestyles. The locals dialect is broken English which may be hard to understand if you are new to the islands. However, the locals are very welcoming and you will get used to hearing a lot of daily greetings like good morning. In these cases you are expected to answer back good morning, or good afternoon or evening. If you don't you may be considered rude or impolite.
Bang for the buck If you are worried about the price of education, it is one of the most affordable that I have seen, and your teachers help you especially if you can't understand something. If you are worried about your voice not being heard, like many institutions the university prides itself in helping you with your concerns and they will do something to help make your time attending go smoothly.
What to do for fun The University of the Virgin Islands campus I attend is on the island of St. Croix. There is not much to do on campus but you can take a bus ride on the Vi-tron which cost just a dollar and head to the nearby beaches located in the towns of Fredericksted to the west and Christainsted to the east. There is also nice dinners on those beaches, but if you want to combine nightlife with the beach scenery these two towns can accommodate you starting anywhere from six pm and onward.
Food and Dining There is one cafeteria on campus and a deli. The cafeteria serves three meals a day but closes around 8 pm. The deli and cafetiere open at the same time but if you have late night craving the deli would be the only place open to eat on campus; however, you can travel off campus and go to the west town of Fredericksted or the east town of Christainsted for more of a variety of eating. Anything from your favorite bar food to fine dinning.
Dorm Life My rating is based on the fact that I do not stay in the dorms but I have been there. The only thing I can really state is that those of you who enjoy your air conditioning say goodbye to it cause these rooms do not have them. Your study room does and you have on campus laundry in the dorm area. If you are worried about the heat, natures breeze will take care of that; however, I will give a fair warning that during the summer it is hot so go to the beach often or travel back home to visit family.
Academic Rigor The education offered at UVI is no laughing matter. At least that is my experience, but your teachers do take pride in their work and genuinely want to help you. Again this is from my experience attending UVI on St. Croix, and if you don't know UVI is an accredited University. If you are interested and want to find out more go to www.UVI.edu.
Tips for prospective students If you are thinking about transferring into the school I would suggest calling the admissions office (340-692-4070) to see if your credits are transferable. You can speak to Ms. Sharmain Smith to discuss your concerns. The office hours are 8 am to 4 pm. If you are a high school graduate and want to stretch your dollar I would suggest attending the University of the Virgin Islands St. Croix Campus.
In three sentences High in quality of education. High in student success, especially the school of Nursing. High in affordable education.

Categories Comments Campus Safety There are 24/7 guards on duty
Greek Life There are sororities on campus
Great for these types of students Great for students that are majoring in Marine Biology
Food and Dining I cannot rate the food at UVI because I do not dine at the cafeteria.
Dorm Life I do not live on campus
Academic Rigor Depending on the courses you take at UVI the classes and the teachers can be very difficult.
Tips for prospective students The culture in the Virgin Islands is different than the stateside life, so many locals greet with a good morning, good afternoon, good evening and not returning the greeting is considered rude. However, the environment at UVI is small and teachers know students by there names instead of an ID number so this allows for more one on one time with teachers. My tip would be to come with an open mind and to have fun while you attend the University of the Virgin Islands.
In three sentences Laid back, relaxing, and fun

What to do for fun Island expeditions, club, beaches...There's alot to do once you have an open mind for adventure.
Food and Dining I personally like the food they serve in the cafe, However, I think they could be a wider range of veggie dishes and meat choices.
Dorm Life Awesome, I've been living in the dorms for appox 4 semesters now and its a wonderful experience, not to mention that the main campus is just literally 5 walking mins away, which is a plus.
Academic Rigor I gave this one three stars because I believe that there could be more diversity in the majors offered.
Tips for prospective students If you are not accustomed to the tropics for those international students, brings lots of sunscreen and shorts. Also, bathing suits are a must seeing as the beaches are so pretty.
In three sentences I absolutely love being a student at UVI. From the small classroom settings to the green acres. Its a truly amazing little part of paradise. I mean I'm not saying that its a perfect institution. But the pros far out way the cons in my opinion.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Do not worry about calling anyone for help. The police here drink and drive. A campus officer was just frired for selling marijuana to the students. I have seen it first hand. It takes 30 min for the campus police to drive a half mile to the dorms when called ( i timed them). The police her never show up unless its a extreme crime.
Food and Dining Uneatable. It is the same stuff all day everyday, and sometimes i feel as if they serve left overs. The workers are very rude, i have seen a bug crawl out f a other students food (pasta), I have found hair in my food on numerous occasions. There is chicken everyday and it is uncooked. They need to have a health inspector ome in, and shut this place down!
Dorm Life Extremly unsafe. There have been numerous reports of violence. I myself have witness three counts of domestic violence and one gun shooting on campus. Anyone can get into the dorms even the news dorm is very unsafe.
Academic Rigor For most of the professors here teaching is a second job. They mainly do research, so they really do not care about there job. The are unorginized and unprofessional.
Tips for prospective students dont go here
In three sentences The worse college I have ever been too. DO NOT GO HERE. This place is disguisting, unsafe, and unbearing.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Campus Safety is very important here at UVI. We have armed and unarmed officers assigned to protect and serve the UVI Community. We respect and honor the efforts placed forth by UVI Security team.
Greek Life Greek Life is here at UVI. You have the opportunity to choose from several. Rather academics or social, UVI has it all to offer.
Clubs and Activities At UVI there are clubs and plenty activities to keep one involved in the affairs of this school. The clubs activities allows students to build relations with students in many places in the Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico and the BVI.
Great for these types of students University of the Virgin Islands is great for any student who wants to learn in a beautiful environment.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus Walking to class. Where else can you get you exercise on while waling to class? UVI - St. Thomas campus is situated on hills. So you walk up and down all day. Although you have an option to ride the shuttle to class, many prefer walking.
Bang for the buck You get more than a bang for your buck. We have two beautiful campus' , one on the Island of St. Croix and one on the Island of St. Thomas. The tuition is affordable, the academic programs offered are not to be compared to other universities. We have a Marine Biology department that people come from all over to enroll in. UVI is a vacation school where you learn, grow and easy to relax.
What to do for fun UVI is one of the best place in the world where there is never a dull moment. Surrounded by beautiful beaches, water sports, clubs and plenty of dining, a student can easily have a vacation within their own environment. People travel from around the globe to come to this beautiful island.
Food and Dining The food on campus can be an acquired taste for some and some just acclimate into it with no problems. It's all about the appetites and diet of those participating in the dining on campus. the atmosphere is defiantly a campus environment. However, the food is according to your taste-buds.
Dorm Life Living in a dorm with a million dollar view is not the normal dorm life one would expect. But here in St. Thomas that is one of the perks for attending school on an Island. Dorm life is something everyone should experience. You learn how to relate and live with others. UVI being a melting pot of races, exposes you to various cultures and traditions. Dorm life teaches you how to respect others and how to communicate. Which will pay in life when you leave the dorm life environment.
Academic Rigor You must give in order to get! As like most Universities, you have to do your class work. Classes are not easy, however, Professors gives challenge where you appreciate the learning and the knowledge developed along the way.
Tips for prospective students Visit UVI during a summer break and explore the possibility to attend. The opportunity to succeed are before you, all you have to do is have a desire to propel to greatness and all the help is hear for you to achieve such desires. If nothing else, the environment is a place where you can study, grow and learn.
In three sentences UVI is one of the finest schools in the collegiate system. I find it to offer the academics I need to further my education and global approach to current issues in our world today. I feel confident knowing the University President has the best interest of the student at heart.

Categories Comments What to do for fun You can go to the beach, watch movies, attend parties, watch different sport activities or just hang with your friends.
Tips for prospective students Always read your syllabus. That sheet of paper will determine whether you pass or fail your courses. Always be prepare for class, because the professor really don't care if you have a textbook or your supplies, just as along you turn in your assignments. Talk to your adviser.
In three sentences I rate UVI an 8, because this school is helpful in ensuring that you have everything set for your first year of college and beyond. They guide you with your transition from a high school senior to a college freshman. The only thing that needs to be improved is the variety of clubs and activities.

Categories Comments Great for these types of students The University of the Virgin Islands is great for anytime of student because of the diversity but due to the geographical location of the Virgin Islands its favorable students are Marine Biologist.
Tips for prospective students I few tips that I wish I had before I came to the University of the Virgin Islands are: 1. Choose an academic major in your first year, going undecided can waste you time and if you plan on changing your major, that's not that difficult. 2. When you choose your major (final decision), in depth research all requirements and prerequisites for that major because the general UVI courses and your specialized degree major is largely different. This might sound like a normal thing to do but there are more courses available and required than what your normal paradigm might include. 3. Contact your adviser immediately, their all knowledgeable on what your specific degree program is and can help you in many areas even outside of academics.
Bang for the buck Not expensive to the other school I've been looking at and i would say that its relatively cheap for the type of knowledge and experience you would obtain if you attend this University.
Am enjoying being here As far as enjoyment goes, its what you make it cause the University of the Virgin Islands is on a small island and there are not a lot of things to do, if you do find something in a matter of weeks it will turn into a regular because of the lack of diversity. There are clubs and organizations to join and the students are friendly so you wouldn't have a problem meeting someone new and having fun but like I said in the beginning its what you make it.
Am learning a lot The learning experience here is quite interesting because the professors know their stuff and very knowledgeable in their fields. You can learn a good bit just by attending the classes but to get the most out of the college you would have to take that knowledge outside of the class. It's not as easy as I thought it would be but its not to difficult as well.
