If you're looking for a school with good academics, great culture, strong work ethic, and great…read morevalue then look elsewhere. This university is a scam and only exists because founders and current admin have strong connections to the state government to fund it. Most students do not succeed well or are not set up for success after college. The school highlights it's scholarship program PLP and leadership classes which is a joke of a program especially when the accept everyone who applies. This is Virginia, go to any other of our wonderful universities that are top in the nation and that don't have to skew data to certain regions and criteria to seem better than they really are.

My daughter never considered CNU as it was simply too far a drive from home (2 hours further than…read moreher current school). That was the only reason...more than 6 1/2 hours from where we are in Jersey was just too far. We actually came down to campus last spring for her spring track conference championships. Wifey and I were blown away At this beautiful and immaculately groomed campus. It was like something out of a movie...everything in bloom and not a blade of grass seemed to be out of place. There seemed to be a lot to do around the campus and off campus, a bunch of great places to eat, and it seemed like a pretty safe area. I don't know about their academic offerings, but CNU has an amazingly strong athletic program and the teams seem to solidly support each other. Pretty good deal for in-state tuition too.

My husband got me a cooking class for my birthday and I was excited to go! I had never done a…read morecooking class before! We drove out to the culinary institute and were excited to get started. The class we were doing was New England cuisine. We thought we would be cooking lobster, clam chowder and other seafood recipes. When the instructor started talking and handing out the packets of recipes, we were surprised with the recipes (beet salad, chowder, chicken, root veggies, johnny cakes). We had to pair up with people we did not know and then each person in the group had to choose a recipe to cook. I chose the clam chowder. It took me about 20 minutes to get all my supplies because they didn't have everything out (food and cooking utensils). The instructor came around and said I was super behind...well thanks for making me feel the pressure! So I rushed to get everything in the pot. It looked like my husband and the others were rushing as well. I did NOT like this. It is supposed to be fun. We aren't cooking students and we aren't familiar with the kitchen. They kinda just threw us in the kitchen and said OK start cooking. We plated our food, along with the other groups, and ate our food. Overall it was fun, besides feeling rushed, but I did learn a lot.

As a current student at CIV, I've come to firmly appreciate my choice in pursuing a professional…read morecareer in the Culinary arts. All of the Instructors are certified and have been Executive Chefs or opened or owned their own restaurants. They are all deeply passionate about food and it conveys through their teaching. My favorite instructor has left the school, and while I was greatly looking forward to having him as an instructor for his specific area of cooking, I'm completely confident in the knowledge I'll learn from another instructor based on the standards set forth by the faculty. Courses are laid out in a comprehensive manner and are aimed to to prepare you to work in real kitchens. The school has a wide array of connections to some of the best local restaurants, and ones in other states, to help you get the off site training that you want most. The school gave me the opportunity to get in the place that i not only wanted to train at, but work in after graduation. And the certifications you get pay for themselves. i will say that the fast pace of the school is hard for some to keep up with. A lot of information is packed into ten days over five weeks. But it does tend to help adapt to the quick pace of most kitchens. Some of the classes are more web based than others, but no matter what the class, all the information can be accessed online with power points and lecture notes. another drawback is that it's affiliated with ECPI. Classes like English and Algebra are done through ECPI. The instructors are not a part of CIV and are therefor not held to the same standards. For legal reasons, i will not mention any instructors names, but at least one has consistently been reported and has the same students SHE FAILED TO TEACH put back into her class. But that's ECPI, not CIV. Overall, I firmly encourage anyone who is looking to get started on the path of becoming a Chef to Check out CIV and see if it's for them. Definitely a great stepping stone.

I've passed by Virginia Wesleyan so many times but never entered the campus until last fall. It's a…read moremuch larger & vibrant campus than I had expected from my viewpoint driving past. There is one gate with a manned checkpoint on the gated campus. I indicated where I was going & the friendly gate keeper gave me exact directions. What I had thought was a small university was actually much bigger, thanks in major part to donations & efforts of philanthropist Jane Batten. My visit was to the Batten Student Center, which was bustling with activity in the evening hours that I was there. It was a beautiful, well equipped place where students could gather, participate in indoor sports & have 2nd story meeting room spaces, The private college has grown in prestige & enrollment in recent years, thanks to the efforts of Jane Batten. In 2026 a major change will come, which is welcomed & applauded by all. In addition to the move of the Virginia Museum for Contemporary Arts to the VWU University campus, the name of the universally will be changed to Batten University. The campus is located on Wesleyan Drive very near the I-64 exit for Northampton Boulevard. A turn to the south on Wesleyan Drive will take one past the entrance gate and main campus. Congratulations to the university on its well deserved increased pathway to the future.

While the academic standards are acceptable, the dormitory facilities are outdated and in urgent…read moreneed of renovation due to mold concerns and leaking ceilings. Given the high cost of tuition, the school should provide more value and support for its students. Several key areas need immediate improvement: Student transportation - Many freshmen do not have personal vehicles, making it difficult to access essential services and resources. Reliable transportation options, such as student vans, should be provided. Food options - Dining choices are limited and should be expanded to better meet students' needs. Student activities - There is a lack of engaging, age-appropriate activities. Current offerings feel more suited to middle or high school students rather than a college environment. Overall, meaningful changes are needed immediately to improve the student experience and justify the cost of attendance.

See the loss/wins it shows that she is NOT capable of coaching and creating a winning team. She was hired in enough time to "recruit" and the 2 she recruited for this 2025 season are horrible- one being her little sister. She gives her multiple chances on mistakes along with the 300lb girl. I can only think that a HUGE donation was made for this FRESH to see the court and play soooo many times over upper class man. Her judgement is way off and coaching ability is middle school age. This conference is too strong for someone like this and putting the 300lb girl on the court is telling she doesn't know athleticism and how to win. Her new recruits are in the 300lbs range... I only see this team dropping to NAIA soon.

I also felt like they prepared me for the future with my next goals. The staff are also very helpful to include dealing with Financial Aid and VA benefits. If they had a graduate program that I was interested in, I would have chosen this school again. The class sizes are small so you get the personalized attention that students like me prefer, because you're not just a number. The campus is also small, but it's beautiful! Thank you Saint Leo Staff, Faculty and community!! I attended at the main Saint Leo/Tampa/MacDill, FL campuses.
