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.

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 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.

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.

I don't mind this, people have to learn, and I've had pleasant experiences while being treated here. The campus is in the middle of downtown Norfolk and is large. There are many buildings, crosswalks, parking lots and garages. It's easy to get lost if you don't know where you are going so you need to make sure you get good directions if you are unfamiliar and try to figure out where to park. Allow yourself a little time to get inside and get settled if it's your first visit to one of the physicians here. Just remember, it's a medical school, so people are teaching and learning at the same time.

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.

There is security at the front desk and I was asked to sign in before I brought him to class.

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.

Review of Hampton University - Returning Parent Perspective…read more My student is entering her second year at Hampton University. I have been pleased with the educational department, the faculty, and the overall campus environment. However, like many HBCUs, the campus is in dire need of repairs--air conditioning, elevators, and other essential facilities are outdated or frequently out of service. The most frustrating and disappointing aspect of our experience has been the Financial Aid Office. It is, without a doubt, one of the least responsive offices I've encountered at any college. Calls go unanswered, counselors fail to return messages, and form requests are ignored. For the past six weeks, I have been trying--unsuccessfully--to speak with a financial aid counselor. Two weeks ago, after contacting the President's Office, I was assured someone would follow up, but that never happened. Living over four hours away makes in-person visits impractical. With my student returning to campus in just one week--still facing financial uncertainty--I feel as though we are right back where we started last year. This is my second child to attend college, and as an HBCU graduate myself, I had high hopes. Unfortunately, my experience leads me to caution other parents: save yourself the stress and the $45,000 per year--consider a PWI where administrative support is more reliable.
