Wow!! This is not the University I attended in the 80s. This is a major institution that spans 4…read moremore city clocks than it did when I walked those hallowed halls. I love it so much I might take a few classes just to experience the new vibes. The canmpus is beautiful and the new cultural offerings are mind-blowing. President Koch was busy. He took a great local university and turned it into a modern global campus. The student is so overwhelming, food everywhere, beautiful seating and meeting areas for the students to study and unwind. It was too much to take in. The walkways have all been widened and redone. Buidlings have new facades and have been expanded. I attended the part in the middle of campus and thought I was at a big campus, now it reminds me how it feels to stand in Richmond trying to find your way around Richmond University or VCU/MCV. Amazing. I am proud to be a Monarch.

The facility is amazing and many consider it one of the premier field hockey facilities in the country. The address is 4251 Powhatan Ave. Norfolk. Parking is on site and free some events. The area was debris free on my last visit. The bottom level houses 6,000 square feet of strength and conditioning, 3000 of athletic training a players lounge and locker rooms. The second level is used for conference rooms and coaches offices. Highlights of the complex. * 6,000 square feet of strength & training * 3,000 square feet of athletic training * 1500 permanent spectator seating * Astro turf 90 * Scoreboard, press boxes, lighting * Water cannon system for watering * Concession & restrooms * Parking close to the facility * Outdoor second level balcony for entertaining I've had the pleasure of touring the building and facilities several times its phenomenal. The only reason for a 4 star is due to no renovations have taken place since the original install 11 years ago. Everything is maintained by ODU and looks great!

Coach Abby for Volleyball has NO concept of a winning TEAM. She is sitting players that have…read morecompeted at an OPEN/D1 level and playing girls that weigh 300lbs and ranked in the 900's++++ and playing them in positions that hurt the team. 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.

Saint Leo University helped me achieve one of my goals. A lot of the professors I've had were very…read morehelpful, very knowledgeable/intelligent and care about their student's success. 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.

I've been thinking a lot about if I should write a review on this school or not. After thinking…read moreabout it, I feel the upcoming students have the right to know my experience was in the Medical Assisting Program in 2022 starting from February through November. I was a student coming from out of state wanting to enroll into an amazing school. Everyone was very kind and considerate and pushed for excellence for the students. I then started to notice that students through the school were acting like "high school college students". Teachers were late to class, having staff meetings an hour into class (but heard them laughing), missing so many lab materials we needed, dress code wasn't being held to standards. I had teachers in tank tops dresses and flip flops which is totally unprofessional in the medical field. I was thinking how you can hold us to a standard if you cannot show yourself. When we got the learning about vital signs and materials, we spent 1-2 days on vitals and never again which isn't enough for time for us to master. The lab didn't have some materials to have a layout for a tray set-up in a medical setting and lancets for checking blood sugars. I was getting very frustrated, but I didn't want to waste my money I spent, so I changed from night classes to morning, hoping that things would change. Prior to that change, a student got upset because there was a miscommunication in some words exchanged and she pulled me outside of the building and started intimidating me and raising her voice. The teachers and staff members did nothing to have me feel safe when that situation happened and the entire class ganged up on me, forcing me to switch to day classes. During the day classes, the school placed a teacher into a classroom where she didn't have the best knowledge for that subject (not her fault) and expected her to teach us when she didnt know how which was also frustrating. A few weeks later, I noticed the smell of marijuana in the building and in back parking lot. When I parked my car one day, I looked over my door and noticed by accident a HUGE bag of marijuana inside an SUV with a lot of cash. I told the school that I had seen a student from another program selling marijuana outside of building and inside by break area. Again, nothing was done, and the student continued. The staff smoke with the students and seems like the professionalism there is lacking alot. Also, I came at night one night and I saw a male student having a barber shop in one of the medical classrooms and I was mortified because this is a medical classroom, and why aren't teachers reprimanding these students for code of conduct. I did appreciate some staff there but lastly around September at least 8 staff members resigned, quit, or disappeared. I asked several times what's going on, and the school said, different opportunities. I truly didn't believe them, because I knew something was happening, we didn't know about and that's why a domino effect of people left. Also, some staff I was close to told me they choose to leave because of the school issues. Overall, I personally think this college is a joke which allows students to do whatever they want. I felt like I was back in high school again with so much drama. My anxiety was always high, leaving classes or not coming, and crying due to being picked on from students. I ended up paying for the entire program which I didn't finish because of the stress of the school, and personal reasons. Now I'm back in my home state in west coast in which I'm having to retake the medical assistant program all over again with a legitimist school. I've been at my new school for 2 months now (paying for it again), and I've learned more in those short months than the entire program at Centura College. My suggestion is to not attend this school and look into a college that takes things seriously and holds you accountable for your actions and learning. Again, I dislike writing bad reviews, but students need to know what's really going on instead of what there being told by the school. If the school sees this, I hope you can make changes for the best.

Football season is here!…read more I did not formally attend the University to further my education however I love the fact that you can go to sporting events that are within my hometown for example this past football season my husband and I attended a few football games at the NSU ... We were super excited for the new coach Michael Vick! We went to the first game and it was a fairly decent turnout however, the crowds were late entering the field...a lot of confusion going on nevertheless the stadium is beautiful plenty of vendors there if you're not just interested in the game. The parking can be an issue however they did offer parking at the MacArthur mall and we were able to take a shuttle over which was pretty easy and that was free of charge or we had access to take the light rail in Norfolk as well and get let off within a mile or two of the stadium which was free of charge as well. Nevertheless it's a good time if you're into sporting events this is basketball season right now not sure how the teams are doing but it's worth a visit if you're in the area to check out the teams at a collegiate level. Have fun and enjoy life :)

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.

Horrible customer service. My son had his wallet stolen and TCC they won't replace his bus pass and…read morehis school ID without him paying for it again, and he has a police report number. They stick to the script that he has to pay for a new id and bus pass. My son had to walk home from his first day of class because he couldn't get a bus pass. My job will not allow me to even leave the floor to help him and the school wouldn't help him either and he is special needs. I called the customer service number all day and guess who answered the phone with a live human the Chesapeake office. I can't wait until he gets enough credits to transfer, well you get what you pay for and it's sad. Change TCC locations or change schools that is my only choice. Lots of excuses were made today but in my line of work I am not allowed to leave patients and families unhappy and I have to solve problems or else. To sum it up Norfolk is getting worse from the horrible customer service in stores, to the public schools and now this. But it makes sense I should never expect anything positive from Norfolk at all. Very sad from when I attended 15 years ago.

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.

When it comes to them taking the time out of there day for one-on-one attention to help you better understand they are there for it all! The school on the other hand isn't. I was charged $300 on my FASFA for a laptop I didn't need I already had one. Since October of 2021 I have told them about it and nobody has help since. I told the president of the school and even the accreditation Board. The woman from the accreditation board made it seem like it wasn't a big deal and she would help but didn't care at all. As a student I haven't felt heard and felt like I wasn't taking seriously. Not only have I had problems with the school but more student in the program with me have. The staff changes so much because I everyone is always quitting. As I first started I was 3 months pregnant. As my due date became closer I was always asking how my classes where going to be effect with me being out 4 weeks. My director was always saying oh don't worry we'll handle it when the time is closer. When I had one month left, I was told if I take 4 weeks off for maternity leave my classes would be put on hold and I wouldn't graduate in September. I was back at school a week later after giving birth so keep that in mind before attending.
