I love TCC in Virginia Beach, even above the university of my undergrad. I've gone there for my…read morefirst Associate's degree in 2010 and am now currently going for a medical program. It has expanded over the last 15 years in ways that primarily support students and staff. It is clean, conducive for learning/studying, and I enjoy spending much of my time in the library and student center. In the event you must stay there all day, it has everything you need in recreation and food options on and off campus. The facilities are excellent and I truly would suggest TCC to young high school grads and people wanting to return to education.

Missing links, dead ends, poor flow. Searching for classes is complicated and just plain tiring to deal with. Going in for help is even worst. You get different answers from different people and all seem to be incorrect anyways. Everything is just so complicated, I can see why students are giving up and looking elsewhere. My frustration level is at an all time high with just trying to get my kid classes at TCC. Do better TCC!

I grew up with the sons of former President Ron Bailey and was able to witness what was then known as Strayer College blossom into what it is today. Many moons later I became a student there and was immediately impressed by the professors. Intelligent and knowledgeable professionals sharing their expertise in a manner which every working adult familyman/woman can understand, relate to, and learn from. I'd like to return one day. I still have yet to finish things myself at Strayer.

Located off Butler Farm Rd in Hampton in the Professional Workforce and Development Center, in between New Horizons Education Center and VPCC (previously TNCC), there js ample parking, decent services, but most of all - a great place to schedule your proctored exam rather than pay all those dumb fees for ProctorU.

Old Dominion University has 4 campuses I believe. The Virginia Beach Campus is substantially…read moresmaller than the main campus located in Norfolk but its calm pace and serene atmosphere is great for studying. They do have a small library and writing center that is always empty. The staff is pleasant and very helpful I like the change of pace from all the hustle and bustle on the main campus. Although this campus is a bit far. I urge you not to be discouraged in taking advantage of this quiet campus and taking a few classes here.

You would think since I got a Bachelor's degree here and have now returned to work on my Master's…read moredegree that I must really like ODU. And I guess you are kind of right. There is a lot to like about ODU: central location, healthy population of international students and faculty, finally a football team and some shopping and dining in the surrounding community. ODU may not be a top academic school and it may be nowhere in sports (except in basketball maybe) but it's a good school for locals and commuters who want a quality university education. The downsides: Although ODU is building up a "college town" presence in the community, the surrounding community can be less than safe. Norfolk is a mix of college kids, low income housing and abandoned buildings. There are many car thefts, break ins, and robberies here. I never really felt unsafe here, but it's always good to be on your guard. Secondly, although they have great lectures and speaker series on campus, there really isn't a whole lot of student activities--or at least not compared to some other colleges. It's not a party school and it's not a party town. Finally the sports teams will leave you wishing you could rep your school with pride. ODU football made an impressive showing in its first year, but we're no where near "seeing your school on television" stage. We will all have to wait and see how ODU will continue to grow after the sudden departure of former president Roseanne Runte, who was responsible for most of the growth thus far. Go Monarchs!

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.

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.

Our kids have felt loved, encouraged, and appropriately challenged throughout their time there and have consistently *enjoyed* going to school. As parents we couldn't ask for more than the solid foundation St. Pius offers. We started our oldest (now 7th grader) in the Pre-K program years ago with the intention of determining whether St. Pius might be a good fit for elementary school. She (and the other siblings) haven't wanted to leave since! Our kids appreciate the close-knit community including their teachers and friends. We are a non-Catholic family (Protestant) and have always felt welcome. As our 3 oldest kids are now part of the amazing athletics program, our love for St. Pius has grown tremendously. Any child in grades 3-8 has the opportunity to participate in team sports and additional activities which significantly enhances their overall experience. Regarding academics, St. Pius is remarkably appropriate for any level student. We've watched Pius grads go to colleges such as the U.S. Naval Academy, Duke, etc. It would be equally beneficial for the student wanting to pursue trade school after high school graduation. St. Pius X is a local gem. We could send our kids to any private school in Hampton Roads and choose this school for the diverse student population it serves and the supportive and friendly environment it offers.
